I read through most of the massive AsRock thread, found no mention of the astronomical Northbridge chip temperature.
I just measured the heatsink temp using a digital thermal probe, and sitting idle with a case temp of 25°C, the heatsink temperature is massive 67°C!
So the chip is at least 70°C minimum!
I'll tell you something, this chip is definitely going in the water loop, if i'd have known this months back I would never have left this for so long...
Anyone else get high temps on their Northbridge chip?
