A Northbridge can sustain high temps without having any issue at all with stability. BUT no where near 100c. For most northbridge chipsets, if your going above 50c, you have a problem.

And even the most hottest gpu on the planet cannot sustain any stability with temperatures over 100c, 105c is usually shutdown, and if you have an older gen nvidia GPU, the maximum thresholds are much less. If your going above that, your causing serious damage to your video card.

110c+ is when solder melts on GPU's. And 120-130c is when it melts on the memory of your GPU.

By then, its a goner.
