i actually tried this before because one of my cpu sockets on the mobo is over a cutout in the tray. i put a 40mm fan on it and closed the case back up and saw a 7c drop in temps on that cpu and a 2c drop on the other. but here's an idea i just came up with. why not use that thermal tape to build up the inside of the ziff socket to where it will contact the back side of the cpu? then you could use a heatsink on the mobo backside and it really would help right? any thoughts on this project?
