It gets way to hot. As in idles at 45, but the rest of my pc idles at 35 (oc'ed). It is the only bottle neck I have on my pc.

If you know of any way to help me out. Please post.

I think you can buy southbridge cooler, i have the same type cooler on my southbridge and mine dont even get warm...
You can see it in the pics in my sig

EDIT: Is yours made out of copper (heatsink around the fan)? mine is, maybe thats why

I am pretty sure aluminum. I am guess I can look on new egg for a new southbridge heatsink.

See my problem is, my 8800 is putting heat in the air around the southbridge. So it cant get cool air. Does anyone know of any sort of "air conditioner" or "air cooler" for my pc?

What did you use to look at the southbridge temp? i didn't know you could , im thinking that temp is fine, i have realy never heard of chipsets overheating personaly...
