There's a few pics.
As you can probably see, I'm not cooling to the left of the NB as I don't really think there's a need for it, I think more of the heatsink assembly covering that area is just for show and has made absolutely no difference in terms of stability. There doesn't seems to be any excess heat from any of the components in that area either, and you can probably spot the white, taped up temp sensor, which doesn't report any high temps so I would assume it's safe.
I think your mosfets will definitely need better cooling with those higher CPU volts, my current setup wasn't nearly enough with my old Q6600 at anything over 1.475v so I would assume it would be similar for you. The 45nm CPU obviously uses lower volts and puts less strain on that area of the board, but I'm considering getting a pair of blocks and adding it to the loop just to rule those out. There's some nice, chunky thermalright mosfet sinks available if you fancied going down that route which if mounted well, should improve things a lot more for you.
