The UNIX philosophy basically involves giving you enough rope to
hang yourself. And then a couple of feet more, just to be sure.

The northbridge is the memory controller, which depending on your platform is either located on the MBB or integrated into the CPU.
The southbridge is always located on the MBB, and handles the various buses (PCI, PCIe, USB, etc).
When doing overclocking, it is advisable to upgrade to cooling on both. In fact, even if you're not overclocking it's probably a good idea to upgrade the cooling on them; sometimes manufacturers put pretty crap heatsinks on them..the heatsink on the southbridge on my fileserver's MBB was getting up to probably around 60C until I added a fan onto it.
EDIT: sorry, forgot mosfets.
Mosfets are a type of transistor. What 4rm was probably talking about was the mosfets on your graphics card. The can get really hot, and if you are replacing the stock HS/F on your card, you need to make sure that they are cooled by something in the new setup.

People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
