How to cool the PWMIC

Im sitting here stressing my comp and its hitting 50c, a little warm for me. Any sugestions on cooling it down? I have 4 yate loons, + 1 on my si120 in a P180b. All the fans are at 12v for testing, normally run at 5-7v daily. Also the PWMICs are the little HS's all over the cpu area correct?
 
The tolerance on the PWMIC is something like 80C. Might be higher.

50C is a normal temp for that. It does not need additional cooling, and cooling it will not buy you any more performance. Mine hits 65C under stress, and it's stable as a rock. If DFI-Street was still up you could read the same comments from the horse's mouth.
 
That SI-120 is the best way to cool the PWMICs. It blows down on a whole lot of the board.

edit:

My expert hits about 46ish on them under load with the SI-120.
 
my PWMIC on my 6600GT are always burning hot to the touch, as they are bare.

I believe it can always take quite a bit of heat
