I had the same problem and watercooling fixed it. In one of my rooms the computer is in a stereo cabinet with zero airflow or openings other than the door. I watch a couple hours of video on a regular basis, and the room itself had no AC at the time. After 30 minutes or so the video would artifact really bad because the card was overheating. When you opened the door to the cabinet it felt like opening an oven.

Gah... rules of thermodynamics state Energy can not be created nor destroyed, outside nuclear fission.
That means HEAT can not magically disappear.
I wouldn't think that was true. Water has much higher energy requirements to heat and cool than air, or most other things.
No your thinking from the efficency point.
What does water do? it makes your cpu load lower correct?
That means it picks up the extra heat.
Now i just told you, in our universe HEAT can not be destoryed.
So it has to go out.. where does it go? out the radiator and into the ambient space.
Now what happens when you get more heat pulled from your computer and dumped into a closed area?
The area gets hotter FASTER.
The first thing people know when they water is there room gets HOTTER.
You can NOT DESTROY HEAT.
That is what the OP wants.. instead he needs to find a way to increase the circulation in his tight spot, so heat is pulled away.
Considering a watercooling pump puts out at least 7-20w of heat, you're looking that much more heat entering the area.
+1 to schmide.
you have more heat in a h2o system, because u usually have more fans on your radiator, and a pump.
Those are extra heat sources... so they all contribute.
Water is great when you can keep a stable ambient. (doesnt matter if its low or high, the key thing is stable)
its not great when your rad is enclosed in a tight box.
