Hello,

Title says it all, I have my build and want to know what I can do to improve it, mount fans in different places or what.

Specs are in my signature. The reason you see no GPU is because I sold both my GPU's and the Msi lightning r9 290x is on its way.

My VRM's get toasty, so how do I improve this?

Maximize airflow, reduce CPU voltage, do some basic cable management.

Definitely cable management first. Get rid of all those cables and zip ties around your CPU block. Then just make sure you have as much stuff out of the way as possible. Then make sure you have your fans configured for positive air pressure. Doesn't do much for heat, but helps prevent dust building up. Apart from that I can't see much else you can do. I guess more fans never hurt.
