MCP-T temperature

If anyone has a nForce 2 Ultra (specifically a DFI infinity board), could
they please post the operating temperature of the SOUTHBRIDGE.

Mine's reported by my fan controller at 45+ degrees and that seems too hot
to me, considering it already has a heatsink on it.

Thanks,

Hamman

Thanks to both who responded. I'm using all the onboard devices too.
