Take the side panel off and leave it off (or even both of them) (if you haven't already). I ran one of mine like that for years and it was fine.Just get the canned air and blow it out periodically. Poor man's water cooling lmao

That might -or might not- exacerbate the problem. A chassis channels airflow around/past each component before exhausting the now-heated air out the back; if the side panel is off, the intake air can blow out that big opening, leaving RAM et cetera baking.

One option is to install extra fans. I often add fans to the exterior rear, using thermal glue. This especially extends the life of battery/surge units (UPS). To power fans on UPS boxes, get a cheap ($14) 450W power supply, and use half of a paper clip as a jumper between these two sockets of the main 24-pin connector to turn it on:
