North Bridge safe voltage?

Hi,
I've been running my computer for a while and i've noticed that my north bridge is running hot. I dont really know if the voltage on my north bridge is alright, because its overheating (I dont get any throttling or shutdowns). Here is a screenshot, please someone tell me if everything is normal.
Thanks in advance
PS: The clocks on my cpu are 4.6ghz atm

Your mem is clocked at 0MHz?!?!?

Don't start a post without pc specs.

Firstly that's not hot at all unless you prefer Fahrenheit

Second, those are safe 

Thank you for the reply.

I know it doesnt seem hot, but the heatsink is really hot to touch, thats why I asked. Could by any chance be for example, the sensor on the motherboard?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it might be the sensor or the CPU is taking some heavy loads

 

What's your cooler?

Im using hyper 212 evo. The computer is built for video rendering and some light gaming (getting a new graphics card when I get enough money). The motherboard heatsinks are stock, and the north bridge has really nice airflow around it.

That is why there often times is a sticker saying "dont touch when running" on graphics cards. Shit gets hot around PC's

Yeah it might just be the components themselves absorbing heat

Most metals produce more heat than what the sensor displays

No, its just HWMonitor not reading my graphics card properly.

So, does that mean that there's nothing I have to worry about? I mean, I am okay with the fact that the heatsink outputs the heat from the NB, as long as the north bridge wont get fried.

EDIT: I do have some spare mx-4 I can use on the NB heatsink, but i dont think that should do anything more, correct me if im wrong.
