That is also a good idea indead.
Can it just be screwed between the fins of the vrm sink? I've had 2 noiseblockers zip tied in some crappy way on the sink. They both died.
Well died... they became very noisy so I think the bearing got messed somehow.
Edit:
The performance of the ram was off.
I actually had the timings wrong.
The 2400 1T bench was @ 9-11-11-31-42-1T
And compared it to the 2400 9-11-11-28-39-2T, which was faster somehow.
This time I did 9-11-11-28-39 @ 1T

this fan is an 80mm Xigmatek that runs @ 2300 RPM @ 19dB. placed on the VRM heatsink it cools everything around it and the VRM/NB stay at 38-42c
(I do not like board blocks, they mess with the flow/restriction of the loop)

Hi Chopper,
Indeed you can. just find the right sized screw with fine machine threads and it tightens it up to the heatsink.
The downflow spreads out and keeps a surprisingly large area cool.
