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?

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.
What is the northernmost point in the world called and the southernmost?
The northernmost point in the world is the North Pole, located in the Arctic Ocean. The southernmost point in the world is the South Pole, situated in Antarctica.
What is the northernmost point in the world called and what is the southernmost?
The northernmost point in the world is the North Pole, located in the Arctic Ocean. The southernmost point in the world is the South Pole, situated in Antarctica.
What is true north compared to magnetic north?
True north is the geographical location at the North Pole, while magnetic north is the direction to which a compass needle points due to Earth's magnetic field. The difference between true north and magnetic north is called magnetic declination, and it can vary depending on your location on Earth.
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.
Does anyone live in the south pole or north pole?
There are no permanent residents at the South Pole, as it is an inhospitable environment with only research station staff staying for temporary periods. At the North Pole, no one lives there as it is located in the Arctic Ocean covered by shifting sea ice.
Is the magnetic pole another name for the south pole?
No, the magnetic pole is not the same as the south pole. The Earth has geographic poles (North and South) and magnetic poles (North and South). The magnetic pole that aligns with the geographic North pole is actually the Earth's magnetic South pole.
