    Just go with non-ecc ram. What mobo are you using? I have an x5675 and it's great.

    I just tried the settings that TechYES posted on his youtube for a 4.5ghz OC, and it worked no problem. Going to run AIDA for a few hours, and then decide if I want to risk my mobo and cpu to try and push for higher or not. I probably will because soon I'll have enough saved up for a BRAND NEW 9th gen intel system (CANT FKIN WAIT)

    X58 means hot chipset, no way of solving that

    The X58 chipset runs about as hot as the surface of the sun. That's why so there were so many aftermarket X58 boards that had a fan mount directly on top of the chipset heatsink.
     
    A top-down air cooler helps tremendously with cooling the board around the CPU socket, and that includes the VRMs. Alternatively, you could pick up a case that has a fan mount in the side panel above the chipset VRMs and use that for cooling. Or you could keep a fan zip-tied to them and accept that trying to cool down an X58 heatsink is like trying to get the Democratic Party united behind a single candidate. It ain't gonna happen.

    unless you can touch a 80 degrees Celsius piece of Aluminum and call that "a bit warm", that's not a good way to tell if your VRM is overheating. Their throttle temperature is 125C on the top of the package or 150C on the silicon inside mind you.
     
    Yeah, that's a massive 16 phase VRM. Even if the components are the same as the Gigabyte G1 board (if it's the Rampage III Extreme's mosfet then it will just be stronger) it will run cooler by just being bigger and containing more components.
     
    come on, just hang a proper 120mm or other sized case fan nearby blowing into it when you have all the space available on top of the CPU.

    Noctua NH-C14S. Pricey, but worth every penny if you need to get some air blowing across your VRMs.
     
    If you prefer water, the Cryorig A-model coolers have a 92mm VRM cooling fan mounted on the pump.
