video converstion and 90C? its normal, right?

[w...b]

So i am converting a 1.8GB .AVI video to mpeg-4 and my cpu is running at 90C. I put my fans up to 5500rmp which brought the temp down to 77C.

Is it normal for the CPU to go up to 90C? Would it change if i was on 9600 instead of 9400?

Also what is northbridge1?

Thanks

That's perfectly normal.

Northbridge1 is somewhere on the support chipset. Where is a bit of a mystery to me, since there are separate memory controller and GPU sensors.

Anyway....yeah, it's mostly normal. Lord Steve DOES NOT LIKE COMPUTER FANS! Why, I have no idea, but apparently it goes back at least to the ill-fated Apple III. If it bothers you...well, that's what we have smcFanControl for.
