Hey, I made a few posts and i know that fx-8350 and asrock 990fx extreme3 is not the best combination, but i bought it before finding that out.

Anyway, the CPU is quite ok, it has 35C in idle and goes up to 62C on demanding games.

My issue is the north bridge that heats up and reaches 45C [as told by SpeedFan].

This is my motherboard and that is the northbridge. I can't install a fan on it because that thing with "XFast LAN" is bigger than the rest, so it isn't plain to install a fan.

My question is: is the temperature ok? Or should i buy a northbridge fan. Can i even find one that fits?
