my corsair dominators dont overclock well past ddr2 1100, suppose some OCZ reapers are in my future :-)

im using the fan that came with the mobo to cool the mosfet heatsinks now, i have a temp probe showing the NB and SB at 50C, damn i ned a fan to cool it down some.
yea i tried q fan in the past but it sucks. im really picky about my temps. i like the cpu socket temperature to never exceed 50C. what temps do you guys look at? i disregard the core temp since its always like 10C cooler than the socket temp. i hope my ocz platinum comes before xmas. last year i ordered a package on xmas and it didn't show up until january 6th because ups takes the rest of the year off. hate my dominators.
