The machine is based on an ASUS M2N4-SLI (Nforce4) and since the
heat-sink on the north/southbridge is rather small and passive,
the chip seems to get too hot. I manufactured a massive one from
a IGBT heat-sink and since 20 hours the machine is doing ftp-transfers
without any reboots - I keep my fingers crossed...

Cooling seems to be the point - 36 hours without reboots. Previously
you burn your fingers on the heat-sink, now it has surface temperature
of 28C.
As I havn't put any effort in that field; can you recommend a way of
monitoring the temperature? Healthd? Kernel option?
As far as I can tell, there are only two temperature sensors accessible
via the BIOS, CPU and MB. I'm not sure of the location of the MB sensor
is located but it doesn't seem to correspond directly to the chipset health.
I've used mbmon + cacti to keep an RRD history of the temperature and
fan speeds.
