Been browsing Facepunch today. Suddenly a thought comes to mind of what Stewart said about my Northbridge and it being hot. So I create a thread about it.<\/p>\n
10 minutes after I do, I get a reply with a line in particular; “I doubt your Northbridge is that hot and your PC is still running.”
\nI didn’t know what to say, except respond to the 2nd line of him saying to take temps with a grain of salt. I called Stewart about the Northbridge and what the guy said. All he said was “hmm”, and I should still get a cooler on it. He claims he put his finger on my Northbridge and said it felt like 85C.
\nAnd because of what hardforum.com told me. They believe it’s the Northbridge. So surely by cooling it down, it should lock up ALOT less, right?<\/p>\n
He also told me what games he played. Found out he wasn’t just playing WoW. And told him if he played HL2 that he would’ve found the lock up.<\/p>\n
After I hung up, I told mother about it. She said that to call him tomorrow and ask how much one would cost and how long it will take. So I plan to.<\/p>\n

\nI’ve also tried taking my Sound Card out. Didn’t fix it. So now I know that my Video Card has OK cooling. I thought the sound card was restricting the airflow, which it’s not.
\nI’m keeping it out though. I have no need for it anymore.<\/p>\n
I just wonder if he can even get this fan or whatever on my Northbridge with my Video Card sitting inches from it. If not, then I won’t be charged for it.<\/p>\n
Not to mention I wonder if I’m just wasting my money on another thing that will not<\/strong> fix the issue. The thing about how my computer shouldn’t even be working if my Northbridge is that hot, and also what I found of searching around for a fan. How it says it’s normally used for when you overclock.

\nI was even questioned in that thread if I was overclocking. More questions I need to ask Stewart tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
