That 4870X2 brings out a lot of heat and passed through the NB heatsink on the way up and also the NB craves a bit more juice to run the 4870X2 and yes both those things add so the NB runs hotter.
WC is probably the best option to cool the NB but if you plan on stay with air you can take of the heatsink/pipe arrangement that cover the NB and SB and keep the heatsink that cover the VRM, yes the heatsink/pipe is a two part arrangement, one for the NB,SB and one for the VRM.
And then try something like this with a fan for the NB
and something like this for the SB
