Well, water cooling would work well, bit with hot air blowing across a radiator, you may run into the same problem... I don't know anything when it comes to water cooling. :-\

However, something you might want to try is putting a bigger heatsink on the processor, maybe putting a new coat of compound on it.

If need be, you could always underclock / undervolt. But, that's no fun. That's all I can think of for now.

Good luck!

I'd keep the side panel off and have a house fan blowing towards the inside. A larger/better heatsink will help some, but if it's too hot in the room then you can't cool better than the ambient temp. You may have to just wait on winter, or cooler days. Be sure it's never in the suns path.

maybe try having the fan pulling hot air out of the case? Worth a shot, right?
