I have an Xeon E3 1230, running with a Gigabyte B75M D3v rev 2.0, the CPU keeps throttle at 60 C, so its clear that my VRMs are overheating. My motherboard doesn't have heatsinks, so i need some recommendations from you guys.

Well I said rig it up. On one of my old AMD boards that had VRM overheating problems I just zip tied a fan in, there was no good way to properly mount it, didn't look pretty but it worked. Your only other good option is some heatsinks and some thermal glue...

I originally did planed to use a case fan like you said, but the top mount is blocked by my CPU cooler, so it's only blowing air straight into the Hyper 410R. Mounting on the side wouldn't do either, the fan mount is way below and the VRMs are up top.

Your only other good option is some heatsinks and some thermal glue to mount them, or a different motherboard.
