785g northbridge temps

[The Tom Bomb]

I just picked up an ASUS M4A785-M and a x2 210e that unlocked to a quad. My nb temps seem to be running high, with stock thermal paste it was idiling around 52 C. I replaced the stock paste with some ceramique and the idle temps are still around the same. After a couple of hours of use I've seen it climb as a high as 69 C. What are acceptable temps for the 785g chipset?

The temps you have As long as it doesn't break 80C, I wouldn't worry, yet.


Well, if you were using the IGP, those temps are normal... (Unlocked Phenom II 550BE--> Phenom II X4 for me, here - on the MSI 785GM-E65 (785 NB chipset) board).

Is 80 the limit for the chipset? I am using the IGP, all the reviews I found for 785g based boards all had much lower temps for the nb.
