Egva 780i Northbridge Temps

[tgboyes1]

I just restarted my computer and checked my BIOS after three hours of COD4 and though my CPU and MOBO are around 30C my Northbridge is up at 80C. Is this an acceptable level? It is possible that the little dinky fan they put on their Northbridge is being nullified by my Thermaleright 120 Ultra Extreme?

I wish some one would answer I can give you my input. I just got of the phone withevga and ther saying 60/140 fahrenhiet is ecceptable. however 50-55 c is average.. Mine rubs hot too I was told a 8 mm fan and some zip ties helps But I also was told by evga that I could remove the heat sink and pipe and put a water block. as long as I dont damage the board and put it bck to normal the waranty will stand. In my opinion 60c is hot 80c=176f thats hot man
