Is there a way to check north and south bridge temps?

Which test is better for stressing the CPU - Prime95 or IBT? Been reading that IBT is quicker than Prime95...is that true?
__________________Been trying to test my overclock but my system is freezing up after running Prime95 for an hour or so. I'm sure it's my BIOS settings and not Prime95 (I'm still tweaking  ), but I'm wondering if I should just download IBT and try stressing that way. If IBT will tell me "Hey, your settings suck!" in 20 mins vs. waiting 2 hrs for the same results in Prime95, I'll switch.BTW - would the F8 bios have anything to do with my rig freezing? Should I change it?

I use OCCT, Prime, and IBT. IBT will let you know almost instantly if you are not stable.

IBT also runs 20 C higher. I don't like the thought of running my processor at 70+ C even for 15 minutes. But I'm only on air so...

Well I appear to be stable at 3.75 GHz, after a few hiccups.
__________________ Now my RAM is overclocked at 450 MHZ (sticks are DDR2-800), so my timings were auto relaxed by the MoBo to 5-6-6-21. If I try to reduce those timings (I will run PrimeBlend overnight first), what is the correct methodology? Should I start with one specific timing first? Is one more important than the others? And is my best test to go immediately back into PrimeBlend and let it run for a few hours? So change timings to 5-5-6-21, run Prime95 Blend test, pass... Change to 5-5-5-21, run Blend again, pass... etc...??? Some advice would be appreciated

I guess you have to put a temp probe into the heatsink of the SB or NB.

Hey Ghostleader do you know where the sensor is for the "system temp" by chance.
