Anyways, with the same scenario as I previously mentioned, NB temps are now down between 6 and 8 degrees to around 36 degrees celsius at load.

Well worth the effort
Are you on water or aircooling for your northbridge?
My temps seems kinda high. ~50c@load with aircooling on the NON-SE.
Maybe I have to reseat the thing once again...*bleh*
