Thats a lot of heat and it isn't even pushing the board yet. I might try and air cool the mosfets to try and stabilize the Voltage lines. There is an other article at OC somewhere that they showed some stabilization and some minor OC gains.

Yup. I can cross-coroborate Jaydee here. My IR thermometer measures nearly identically temps to his on mosfets and coil things (what the hell are those things called!). I'm probably going to Dremelize some old ramsinks and stick them on the mosfets and attempt to get a little fan going in the area to keep convection up.
