Thanks alex_stief, and for the picture as well! This will really help I'm sure. I will probably order one of these since I already use Noctua coolers: Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX, Premium Quiet Fan, 3-Pin (40x10mm). The link you included to your build is also very informative. I'm almost sure I won't be upgrading to water cooling though. My other Supermicro X10DRL-i system has AIO water cooling and I think it was overkill, and they don't last as long as air coolers. Then again that system doesn't have any cpu vrm issues.
Btw, how hard is it to remove and replace that heatsink? Is it just a matter of unscrewing it? Do you think replacing it with some other one will help a lot?
