I just picked up Mafia 2, and twice now I have been getting artifacting followed by total game crash... now I haven't had any problems with any other game or anything until now, so I am not sure if its just Mafia 2.
Although, my northbridge and southbridge chips were EXTREMELY hot (almost burning to the touch)... Looking at my cooling system one may not be surprised though... Any tips with my current setup? I just ghetto rigged a fan with some zip ties but thats probably not doing anything besides pushing ambient air

Now please, I have been running my computer like this for around a year, and I have never had problems. I know the cable management is a joke, and I know there is some dust... But those factors really only come into play when squeezing as many clocks as you can out of your cpu, and were heat is actually a factor... (I could be wrong but thats my current opinion)
So yes, no overclocks, no nothing, just barley a case, and my room is around 75-80 degrees, if that matters idk... Question is, what can I do? Why is my mobo heating up, when my CPU and GPU are fine?
