Hello, everyone!

So today i was messing around with my computer and i ended up touching the Northbridge heatsink on the motherboard. It was a bit hot, not enough to burn my finger or anything, but i could feel that it was kinda hot. I can't see the temperature of the northbridge because my motherboard doesn't have a sensor in it. Should i worry about this? I've had this PC for quite a while and i've never had any crashes or BSOD while gaming or doing anything else.

The motherboard is an ASUS M5a97 R2.0 (its not the LE version!) and the CPU is an FX-4300 with an overclock to 4GHZ.

Thanks in advance!
