i have a Akasa fan master with a temp sensor taped onto the northbridge of my m/b. The temp that this reads of is almost exact to the temp given on "core temp" (from here http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=137 ).
My question is this... is the northbridge temp closely related to the cpu temperature? If i turn the cpu fan down the northbridge temp goes up and vice versa. Is this just because the fan on the cpu (a Tt Silent Boost) blows an air onto the chipset depending on the speed of the fan altering the temperatures? If that makes any sense...
