The amount of heat generated in a closed space is due to the power
consumption of the devices within it. You can't alter how much energy
is expelled into the room just by cooling the components within it
better - there's still the same amount of heat to get rid of from
within the room enclosing it all - it's just more evenly spread!

What you need to do is improve the ventilation in the room your
computers reside in to move the heat generated to somewhere else ASAP.
Or use components which generate less heat.
