I feel like a lot of the stuff mentioned for PC cooling, coming from the USA and Europe, may not be too applicable in Malaysia due to our year long hot and humid weather.

My PC is Dell Inspiron 660, got a GTX 960 inside.

My temperature will reach 80C. If I removed the limit, it go until 89C!!!

Before this I got a GTX 750, the temperature much more manageable. Max 72C.

Please share with me some simple tips kawan-kawan how I can achieve better temperatures.

My PC is in my hall, no air con.

I will appreciate this much!

PC tip top. I actually don't notice difference in GPU temperature when its hot daytime or cold nighttime, surprisingly.

I modded my Asus Strix GTX 970 with Artic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 4 and it only reaches 52c to 55c at load.

Since yours is a mass-produced PC, there's nothing much you can do to increase cooling efficiency without voiding the warranty. Try adding extra fans or detaching the side panel if possible.

Corsair Obsidian 750D. Loving this case. Have two of them. One for my Malaysian PC and one for my Indonesian PC.

Very roomy and sturdy case and yet it was lighter than my Silverstone TJ10 ESA edition case.

Try using msi afterburner to manually control gpu fan speed.
