Even if the system temperature isnt that of the northbridge chip, if

internal flow patterns of hot air ).


The point is that, at a certain point, heat will stop passing from the CPU
and harddisks to that point with bad airflow.

In a closed system, nothing can become warmer than the hottest heat source.
You cannot accumulate heat just by not transporting it away, you need a heat
source hotter than the current temperature.

The temperature of that point with bad air flow will never become hotter
than the hottest of the heat sources in the cabinet, which is likely to be
the CPU.

I'm sorry, but what you propose is physically impossible.
