Northbridge Operating Temerature Range?

[gwiner]

I know that temps can vary on the northbridge chipsets based on your OC settings, but I don't really have a frame of reference. Can anyone tell me the "normal" and "max" temp ranges. I suspect a problem with my system, but again, I have no point of reference. Mine's running at like 68C or so, which seems a little high to me, and I'm not even overclocking yet.

What chipset are you running? Remember that your NB is running with relatively little cooling compared to your CPU or video card.

my VIA KT133 Apollo is running at 26º and it's difficult it goes higher than 32º (celsius of course) but accepting my chipset is old and that a new one might run hotter i've read around 38º to 40º in the new nFORCE.
Please get sure that the chipset is REALLY running at that temperature, it seem a little bit imposible to me... but if it is, alert! there is something wrong there, for sure. Good luck

Via KT400, 40C normal stuff, 50C when using 100% CPU usage or SoB. Gotta get a Microsool Northpole!!
