Can I push any higher as Northbridge is toasty?

Hi

Basically, I have an E6320 clocked to 3Ghz and 4Gb XMS2 clocked to 860Mhz.

Now I know that I can get the 6320 to 3.4Ghz and the XMS2 to 1000Mhz stable.

The question is would this really toast my Northbridge up? I do have a 120mm fan directly on the NB and the Memory and it really seems to help cool the 2 down. I have heard that 4Gb Memory puts quite a bit of stress on the NB.

Will I just be looking at a fried mobo before the month is out?
