And, keep in mind that you need to have a look at the airflow of your case!
Provided you have a standard tower case with the Power Supply on top:
- the cool air enters the case from the front lower part of the case
- goes up and is thrown out from the rear top part of the case through the Power Supply's ventilator.
* You need to have sufficient air flowing inside from the front lower part of the case (use a fan)
* Even more important, you need to have sufficient air flowing ouside from the rear upper part of the case!!!! In most cases you can add a big fan at the back side of the case at the level of the CPU, this is the most efficient solution. Newer cases even allow for the addition of fans at the top of the case thus improving further that outflow of air.

I hope it helps.
