ive been having issues with my i7 build...its probably one of two things. one is that my bios say that my NB temp is at 60c. Speedfan says that is too high with a lovely flame symbol. i dont know what a normal northbridge temp is for the evga x58 sli mobo...so i dont know if that may be causing some of my errors. my comp crashes during games before they boot up if the settings are on high....and will run very chuggy if i play with the graphics lowered. the other, seemingly more obvious problem is that my hd 4850 is too hot. it temps out at 80 while idle...which ive heard is actually normal. the weird thing is that i played crysis on my old comp with the same card and it ran without crashing. ive bumped up my fans and and am waiting for it to cool down, but id like some adivce while i wait. is the nb temp alright? or is this probably a graphics card issue?
