north bridge

mikegis · Nov 18, 2007

hello all
can someone please tell me if this is the north bridge heatsink?

if so is there a way of getting a fan on it or do thay sell something to cool it down ? not sure what the temp is on it. feels very hot.
motherboard is a asus p5n-e sli , not much room left by it cause i have a ninja cpu cooler . it takes up a lot of space,
thanks mike

That would be the northbridge. Sometimes you are able to put a fan on them and other times you can replace the heatsink itself with a better one.

is there any software out there to monitor the temps on it ?
i got speedfan but it don't tell you whats it's monitoring ( temp 1 , temp2 ) and so on
thanks again mike

Coretemp seems to be the best one

i have that aswell it just shows core 0 , core 1 ? so am i to understand that's the cpu and north bridge temps together ?
thanks mike

Oh, you need one for the northbridge. The motherboard utility doesn't tell you?

again thanks for your help .... mike

When I had that mobo, I just put an old a64 fan on the video card facing the heatsink.
