Well the good news is you still have a bit of room on your package tem but you are getting close on your socket temp @64*C. Have you got the ability to mount a fan blowing across your CPU Socket area especially the cooler fins to the left of your CPU as well as can you place a fan behind your CPU sucking warm air away from your socket. We in general here find by doing this it can help with cooling the CPU Socket area.

Beyond that you will need a bit more CPU Voltage to pass at multiplier 24. You are right in the area where you will need a bit of a big bump which will bump your temps up, cooling your motherboard will help with that a bit anyways. I would start bumping your VCore up by 2 bumps in your bios and retesting with prime, if it doesn't pass then bump again ...... watch your temps, your socket area is getting close to the point where it can start to introduce some instability.
 
Manicfrost, do you have a 80mm and 120mm fan lying around, maybe from the stock heatsink. If you put a 80 mm fan on the VRM heatsink and a 120 mm fan on the backside of the motherboard you can get the Cpu temp down a bit. Where you're at is a bit too warm and 25 minutes does not confirm stability. If you can pass 2 hours of prime blend there then call it stable but I'd like to see the Cpu temp down a bit.
 
Looks like that's about as far as you will get with your cooling. Like Mandrake has said above try and get a couple fans on your motherboard to hep cool your CPU Socket and run prime for at least 2 hours to check for final stability.
