Ok so I'm playing around with my Asus MVG board today, which is barebones, and I'm currently OC'ing to 4.7ghz @ 1.34v (cpuz) / 1.33v actual. for cooling I'm using an H100.

I happened to touch my VRM heat speaderes and they were hot, not to hot but still the board was reading 39c so I placed a Yates loon fan running 1000rpm on top and instantly the VRM's were cold to the touch and the board temp dropped to 29c.

I am currently waiting for my bitfenix is ghost case to arrive and I'm now a little concerned that the temps will rocket as it is a sound proofed case. Is there a way I could mount a fan above the socket securely so that I won't get any heat problem?

Many thanks
