    Any video card would have to come with one built in because it is cut off from the rest of the machine case,
    Thanks for the input but overclocking I have no idea about how to get to the bios to confirm this,
    Cheers.

    That's the PCH next to the processor fan. I made a mount and attached a 60mm fan over that heatsink.

    Yeah, that's it Mike.

    Gone are the days of Northbridge/Southbridge. The Platform Controller Hub took over many of the functions of the Northbridge/Southbridge interface to the CPU. On the newer boards of today, the PCH is gone in favor of what's called Multi-Chip-Modules (MCM) as the CPU took on more of the buss and display functions. The MCM design is the reason we're seeing PCIe 3.0/4.0 speeds as well as faster memory on the horizon.

    Ken, I ain't picking on you, really I'm not, but. Intel has went to the single chip chipset since 4 (maybe more) generations ago. AMD for the most part still has a North and South bridge chip. It really surprised me when I got my first Intel board a couple of years ago.

    Now back to the studio.

    Hey, no problem. I don't really follow AMD that much. It's like reading a history book on technology. If that's the case, that chip is probably the Northbridge then and still needs extra cooling for an OC.

    Doesn't AMD stand for All Most Dead. :) I do like what they do with graphic cards though.
