I am having trouble keeping my motherboard cool. I'm overclocking my CPU and graphics cards, but the motherboard is completely at stock settings. I was getting warnings that my VCORE-1 was hitting 80C so I aimed a fan at it and it dropped 15C. I'm using a H80i which blocks off airflow to the VCORE so that made sense. Now im getting a warning that my PCI-E slot is hitting 60C and I have no idea what to do about that. I don't even know what to do about that. I have 3 120mm fans in my case not including the h80i exhausting. Options?

Yeah I have a 120mm intake in the front and bottom, and a 140mm exhaust at the top with the push/pull 120mm h80i exhausting out the back. The only other fan would be the 92mm one I have at the top intaking air to blow onto the VCORE.

I was originally thinking of rigging up some fans to attach to the various heatsinks of the motherboard, but the PCI-E slot doesn't have anything I could aim a fan at.
