A few NB questions..

What are safe volts and safe temps for the NB. Also which program monitors the NB temps? or there isn't one?

I am pretty sure that speedfan monitors the north bridge temps. As for safe voltage, I am not too sure but I usually don't go over 2 steps above stock.

I say below 50's. For the NB volt, I max it when I bench. But for 24/7 use between 3-4 depending on ambient temps.

Depends which mobo your using.
NB Temps aren't always shown Many moobos just sjhow a board temp. It depemds where the thermal sensor is located. as to how close it reflects the NB temp.

Speedfan only monirors what sensors are available on the mobo. so it depends on the foregoing.

yup, most boards don't have a NB temperature sensor, just a sensor randomly placed on the board...usually up near the DIMM slots & CPU socket with Asus boards.

if you are asking about the board in your sig...Maximus Formula, i believe it is one of the few with an actual NB temp sensor and the Asus PC Probe II will definitely pick it up.
