Ok so I know which one the CPU is obviously. But the 3rd reading. I have no clue what that is. I just named it Northbridge to name it something. I put my hand at the back of the PSU and there is hot air comin out of it so maybe its that? I just dunno what else could get as hot as a prescott while overclocked. in my experience chipsets never get that hot. so wtf? is it because this chipset has that 9100IGP in it? i would think that wouldn't make a diff cuz its disabled as i use a 9600 Pro. Anyone wanna take a stab?
 
After some Google digging i see this...

From HotHardware.com's Review of the ST61G4:
"By default the graphics core is clocked at 300MHz (2x1 architecture - 600MPixels/s | 600MTexels/s), and it runs fairly hot. According to the PC Health section of the BIOS, the 9100 IGP's temperature hovered around 75-80C at idle. Interestingly enough, inserting a video card into the AGP slot automatically disabled the integrated Radeon 9100 graphics, but the Northbridge's operating temperature stayed at the same level."

Damn thats hot for a chipset though. As long as its under 70 then it will be fine I guess. Makes me want water cooling so I can reach 3.6GHz with this. Grrr. But hey 3.30 on air is still good enough for a 2.4. lol I think i'll run Prime 95 for another hour just to make sure its stable enough.
 
lol Well I was running Prime95 at the time. Plus it was overclocked to 3.3GHz. haha
