Hi would like some advice.

The build I’m using for a gaming pc is sending to much heat in to the room it’s getting to hot me. The max heat I’m getting out of the top rad is 35 deg C, the power supply in intensive games also produces a large amount of heat, can even hear the fan running loudly sometimes.
Have added 4 120mm case fans to the side window that lowered the temp to 32 deg C.

Was thinking off added a large external rad (9x120) for the cooling of the GPU, but don’t know if this will make any difference…
Also would a better PSU produce less heat?

Really need to do something it’s 3 deg C outside, I have the windows open and fan cooling the room down and it’s still not enough after an hours worth of SWTOR.

Link to the build I did is below.

Look forward to any advice, regards Martin
 
The most effective way to reduce heat coming from your PC is to reduce your overclock and lower the Vcore. Unless you're willing to put that external radiator in another room or outside?

Getting a higher efficiency PSU will make a small difference, but not much.
