I am not familiar with the term north pole or south pole in relation to a computer motherboard, and think it likely that the question refers to the north bridge and south bridge instead.
The north and south bridges are parts of the chipset, which connects the CPU with memory, other direct main bus users (such as advanced graphics cards), and peripheral components.
The north bridge provides a bus arbitration service between high performance components (CPU, memory, GPU), while the southbridge provides connectivity to other busses, such as the USB, PCI or IDE bus. In a graphical arrangement with the lesser peripheral components at the bottom of a drawing and the CPU on drawn on top, the northbridge is directly connected to the CPU and, therefore, resides "in the north." The southbridge itself connects to the northbridge, and in the drawing resides "further south."
Northbridge and southbridge are conceptual ideas, and may not be implemented as dedicated chips in modern chipsets.

Which is the shortest distance Iceland to the North Pole or newzealand to the southpole?
iceland is closer
What is the coldest climate North Pole or southpole?
South Pole. There are few warm ocean currents to warm it as there are around the North Pole.
If you are on the center of the north or southpole what does a kompas do then?
It will point to magnetic north, which is hundreds of miles from the pole.
What continent is the southpole on?
The South Pole is on Antarctica.
How are the southpole and the south magnetic pole different?
The "South Pole" (and the North Pole) is the axis about which the earth rotates. The "South Magnetic Pole" has nothing to do with the South Pole other than they are located within the Antarctic Circle. All magnets have a North and South Pole, the "South Magnetic Pole" and the "North Magnetic Pole" are the opposite ends of the earth's magnetic field.
Does anyone live in the south pole or north pole?
I think they don't
What is true north compared to magnetic north?
true north is the direction towards the Geographic north pole, the point on the globe exactly 90 degrees north of the equator, and thru which the earth's rotational axis meets the surface. Magnetic north is the direction towards the magnetic north pole which is predicted* to be located at 82.7 degrees north latitude, and 114.4 degrees west longitude (just north of Canada). Magnetic north is where a compass actually points to, so you must adjust your compass acordingly. *this is predicted because magnetic drift causes the pole to move from year to year.
What pole is located in a continent southpole or North Pole?
The South Pole is located in Antarctica and therefore is on a continent. The ground is permanently frozen there with over a mile of ice above the land mass. The North Pole is conversely NOT on a continent, it actually is not even located on land. The geographic North Pole is located in the Arctic Ocean and seasonally frozen over.
Who was the first man to reach southpole?
Roald Amundsen was a Norwegian Explorer was the first person to reach South pole.
Why is the southpole in darkness during the southern hemisphere winter?
Well First of all because it is on the north and finally because it is POLE LOL xD X3 XP :) Hope i Helped you
Is it true that on dec 21 the North Pole experiences 24 hours of night time and 24 hours of daytime at the southpole?
It's even better than that! The north pole has 6 months of night-time andthe south pole has 6 months of daytime. They're the same 6 months, andDecember 21 is right in the middle of it.Maybe you can guess what goes on during the other half of the year . . .The north pole has 6 months of daytime and the south pole has 6 monthsof night-time. Those are also the same 6 months, and June 21 is right inthe middle of that period.
Is the magnetic pole another name for the south pole?
No. The Earth is a spinning sphere, and the axis of the rotation matches the Earth's surface at the north pole and the south pole. If the Earth had an axle, that's where they would poke out. The Earth is also a giant magnet, like an enormous bar magnet. The orientation of this magnet, and the magnetic lines of force from it, are not lined up with the physical axis of the Earth's rotation. The "north magnetic pole" is somewhere in northern Canada, while the south magnetic pole is in Antarctica. When navigating with a magnetic compass, the compass doesn't point at the north pole; it points to the north MAGNETIC pole. In most of Europe, there wasn't a whole lot of difference, but in North America, the difference between true and magnetic north can be dozens of degrees. Navigational maps will list lines of "magnetic variation", which is the difference between true north and magnetic north, so that you can apply the appropriate correction.
