does your case allow mounting the power supply to intake external air? Many new cases have a grill under the power supply area. If you mount the power supply "upside down" then it will pull external, cooler, air and not get so hot. Also what do you mean by "really hot"? Do you have a kitchen thermometer you can use to measure the temperature? Is it too hot to touch?
