obviously the fans and heatsink are doin there job because my load temps are pretty good. but outside in my room its gettin pretty hot even in the winter. So hot i can turn off the heating.
Has anyone got anyideas on how to keep heat expelled by the computer cooler or do i hav to deal with it?

You could turn you PC off, that would mean the make the air coming out of it cooler

Heat output is proportional to component load, so playing games generates substantially more heat than looking at the windows desktop, however I think the games might be more fun.

There is not a lot you can do except open a window or get an AC unit.

I have the same problem, the PC in the study is on 24/7 and even with the window left open the room can still get quite toasty.

What an odd question.

Try underclocking, undervolting, and turn on all the power saving options.

live with it, turn it off, open your windows or get water cooling and stick the rad outside your window. I have the same problem. Just have to live with it.

think of the savings your making in the winter, mind due i have my window open all year round, and have some decent circulation in your room.

My 360 and PC combined chuck out too much heat, even in winter I have to have my window open most of the time lol.
