I have never had issues with the vNB with 2 or 4 sticks.
Great, nice to hear if I ever decide to go with 4Gb RAM

The mosfets are better with the thermal pad, as the default heatsink can cause loose contact. If you kept the pad, adding a second thermal interface material (AS5) with the pad is not a good idea, in my opinion as you add interfaces, while pads assume a better contact than paste but are less conductive than a compound.

As of the heatsink above the CPU, it is for the other 4 mosfets.

I'm also sure that people taking care to cooling the motherboard and reseating the default heatsinks will have better performances by far. For stock radiators, you also have a very good overclock on a Q6600 + 4Gb Ram on air, as I removed them all and replaced with thermal righ heatsinks
