I can't tell what you're running, but if the system is still rock solid stable with the northbridge at 62C/143F, it shouldn't be much of a concern, unless it's considered overheating. Getting even a little airflow across that NB47J will lower the northbridge's temp substantially.

Just my 2 cents

that seems way hot to me.
It looks like the air from the back of the vid card may be hurting you too.

there is a fan 3" above it. well, i know i should add a few degrees since its not reading the chip directly. care to guess how much?

could one predict temperatures on hot days - just add the numbers? its an nForce 4 ultra chip so ill think ill see if nVidia has any recommendations.
