Default 55c at idle

switch my pc on two day logged on and my cpu temps were 55c
in a few minutes..normally no higher than 40c at idle.
am blaming this warm weather were getting here..but am suffering as photoshop bumps it up more-around 60c witch then photoshop freezes and my hole pc runs really slow..case temps stick around 30c im thinking on going water cooled..would this solve the problem or will i see no difference as surly the warm room temps will not let it get eney cooler? sorry if this is a silly question

Try a larger fan or more fans. I have a 120mm on my CPU, with an adapter from Maplin. It is also much quieter than the standard size.
