Like it's getting to hot in the case, or it's exhausting too much heat into your room?

 

If the former, get more (and better) fans. Intake and exhaust. If the latter, that's the point of PC cooling, get the heat out. Only suggestion there is to turn up the AC.

It's like saying you want to work out at the gym....but you don't want to sweat. Well...that's not going to happen.

All electronics create heat, and there's no way to avoid it. Heat is the enemy for electronics, and you want to remove them from the source FAST.

Outputting heat is a good thing. You don't want that heat sitting in your computer.

 

More fans or better cooling options will only generate more heat, since they're removing that heat from the components and dissipating it into your room.

 

The only way to get your computer to stop generating so much heat is to run it under lower load conditions. No overclock and less activity will make the parts heat up less, resulting in less heat having to be taken away from them and put into the air in your room.
