Watercooling the northbridge?

Is it worth it to watercool the northbrige chip on the MB? I will be doing CPU of course, and the GPU as well. But I'd like to save money wherever I can so if there's no benefit of watercooling the northbridge in place of a high quality heatsink or fan I'd rather not buy a third waterblock. When overclocking the CPU, does the northbridge really heat up? Thanks.
 
The fan on my northbridge stopped working and I haven't replaced it and have no problems. I'm not overclocking though, so I don't know if that would matter.
 
Okay thanks. Would that work any different with the AMD 64-bit processors, seeing that the FSB is different than other chips? 😕
 
well the memory controler is in the cpu, so that is already being cooled down, plus when you get rid of that component in the north bridge, it creates alot less heat
