Just installed SpeedFan ahead of possibly overclocking my CPU a little and got the following results:

What on earth is Temp3 all about?

And is it ok to overclock my CPU? (my spec is in my signature)

Take it the Northbridge is the thing with the ugly heatsink on? Touched it and it is very hot.

What options have I got? Get a new motherboard?

As you can see, it's peaking at a very high temperature :eek:

Got a fan blowing on the Northbridge and it doesn't affect it at all, so guessing it's a faulty sensor?

Been running a few tests to stress the system a bit and it's all stable. Ignoring the TMPIN2 temperature (which showed at over 100C!!), is there anything to worry about with the other temperatures? I decoded a video and ran a game on high settings to get the 'Max' results. Currently got my CPU overclocked from 2.4ghz to 2.7ghz by just changing the Bus speed and nothing else, and it all 'seems' stable atm

It got up to 102c according to the picture in my last post without any noticeable change to the system operation. Games were running nice and smooth.
