On a core i7 920, foxconn renaissance mb. What is the general maximum for nb temps?

Northbridge temps should never go above 70C, so you'd better rethink your cooling!

Upgrade the heatsink on that northbridge chip before it's too much older.

Those chips often have something called 'thermal throttling' where it cuts back on performance to keep the temperature down.

Also check your airflow in the case.
