iv got a msi gaming 970 mother board and a fx 6300 (stock speeds) with 8gb 1600mhz ram and my north ridge is really hot I just bought new fans 3 blowing in and 1 exhaust thinking that would help ( it didn't) so I put a 80 mm on my graphics cards blowing directly on the heatsink, it might have lowered it a little but when gaming it still gets to hot to touch. would appreciate the help.

The northbridge is going to get pretty warm. It's handling a lot. Your perception of temperature is meaningless due to how sensitive our bodies are.

Too hot to touch is probably 70+ degrees C though... is that normal?

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

We have no idea what the temperatures are, nor do we know how sensitive the OP is to heat.

well in that case I'd recommend a program to show all of the temperatures, like HWMonitor :)

Is this effecting performance at all? If not I would just leave it, the north bridge is handling tons of back and forth communication every clock cycle between your memory and processor, this only increases when gaming rendering so I wouldn't worry
