What is the temperature?

 

Also might be worth pointing a fan at it, not a very technical solution but may do the trick, only one way to find out :)

Buy a 60mm fan and attach it to the northbridge. You could also try applying new thermal paste.

Where would I mount the fan?

No idea but if it is overheating then somewhere must be found otherwise you could just leave it

 

If something has a heatsink on it then obviously must generate sufficient heat to require the heatsink in the first place, maybe it is normal :P
