I've done this with some old BX boards myself. I've found that
I get better temps, stability, and overclocking by simply keeping
the Voltage Regulation goodies on the system board cooler.
IE: keep an 80mm fan focused on the caps and stuff around
the processor. And, believe it or not, I've had some decent
results with a FEW boards by having a fan (ducted underneath)
blow air between the Mobo and the mounting surface.
But best results are obtained by cooling the regulators...
