Hello, this is a small question, but I simply can't find the Northbridge on my motherboard. You can find an image at http://images10.newegg.com/productimage/13-128-647-02.jpg . Please post a screenshot with it circled. Thanks

See this aluminum heat sink between sata and PCIE1x connectors??? This is your Northbridge, H61.

Wait, but then, where is the southbridge? I'm a bit new to motherboards 😛 I've only done one build, and I just picked a cheap motherboard with pcie and LGA 1155 hshs

Well, now days it's little bit different. Some functions of north and south bridge were moved. CPU now have memory controller... In this link: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/289303-30-north-bridge-south-bridge
ko888 gives best answer and enough details. It's little bit older post.
