EDIT: I left some details out previously.

So the south bridge gets extremely hot. Much hotter than the north bridge and cpu heat sink. I thought this was normal. I asked myself why it only turned off while installing the OS or using the OS and not in the bios without a hard drive.

I removed the south bridge heat sink and I think i've found the culprit.

Is this normal?

No. you can try and clean it up re-apply thermal past and see if it is fine then.
