I didn't touch MB cooling just swapped CPU cooler to Coolermaster GeminII S which actually perfectly fits this board and perform good cooling for MSI rollercoster.. only disadvantage of this is that hot air from rollercoster is going straight to graphic card PCB where is GPU on the other side what rising my GPU temperature 10C higher than lower one in SLi.. So I probably change SLi to single GPU solution when it will make more sense than today's single solutions.. Than I use just lower PCIe slot.. This cooler can be extended to 2x92mm fan/extension plates included/ so it will cover memory sticks as well /RAM sticks must be regular size, not taller/ but will not reach rollercoster as with 120mm default fan.... That was the easyest cpu cooling istalation I ever did and result is 5-10C down on NB compare to Zalman CNPS8700NT 110mm, so I can recommend this one for this board..
Some photos how it looks..
Sorry about the cable mess
