A very interesting read & bit of work man. While cooling the back side of the mosfets gave no gain in O/C, or reduction of your CPU temps, have you considered trying the same sort of thing on the back side of the CPU and/or NB area of the motherboard?

With a WB on the front side of the CPU, would not any added cooling on the back side of the CPU socket be additive, if not 100%, at least in large part?

And cooling the rear of the NB might allow a few extra mhz?

Just thoughts that came to mind when I read near the end of your build article how it didn't give you all you'd hoped for.
