Southbridge (maybe northbridge?) overheating problem.

[hossain]

I just checked out my dad's computer, a gateway GT5448E with an intel core 2 quad duo E6300. CPUID Hardware Monitor reads the temp of the MCH (which i believe is the north bridge) at 94 C. The Bios reads at the same temperature on the ICH which is the southbridge if i am not mistaken. I added a little gooseneck fan blowing directly on the chip because there is no heatsink or fan or anything on it. I'm wondering if this is even possible. Wouldn't it have melted itself at those temps? I was checking for a dead fan when i found this. The computer is about 2 years old. I have no idea how long its been this high.
