 Thread : GA-P35-DS3L Northbridge Temps

I just used an infrared thermometer on my northbridge heatsink and it read 42C. I am currently running a prime95 run because I just installed my Sunbeamtech Core Contact Freezer. CPU temps are now wayy low but my northbridge seems super hot. I've read around on google and I haven't seen anyone post a temp quite so high. Should I be concerned? The NB heatsink doesn't feel all that secure, you can wobble it slightly, does it maybe need to be re-seated?

Thanks

Edit: Original reading with thermometer was 108F, which is 42C. Never mind :x

I bought a 42mm fan to install but need to determine how to get it attached

42C for NB is nothing to worry about.
