x79deluxe is the recomended MB for overclockers
but if i want to overclock cpu 24/7 regime i mean all the time cpu will work 4.8
i think north or southbridge may go too hot... motherboard doesn't have fans on those chips
maybe it will be wise to set a fan myself ?

by the way which bridge is responsible while overclocking which bridge needs more protection in this situation
Thanks a lot ...

iirc, x79 overclocking is done primarily with the multiplier, which won't affect how hot the bridges get (at least not directly). If you change the bclk, that might affect the bridges. However, if your case has good airflow, you shouldn't need a separate fan to cool the bridges.
