Ok so i was wondering...
I've heard it mentioned a few times now. The CPU and NorthBridge are usually around the same temps, My question is why? and also is one run through to the other ie: north bridge linked directly to the cpu, so the cpu would be hotter than usual caused by the hot northbridge?
