How can I lessen my operating temps the most easily, while still getting good responsiveness from my system?

So I recently upgraded from an EVGA 750ti to a 780ti classified kingpin edition, and also upgraded my pc by building a new one based on the 1150 chipset, I went with the 4790k. Currently I am running a slight oc from uefi at 4.4 ghz and the temps of the cpu stay around 34 celsius and the gpu around 40 celsius idle and 50 under load. I dont really know how to maximize airflow in my rig but I have my h100i mounted at the top of my case pushing air up and out through the radiator and the gpu is stock acx. Any advice on maintaining good temps would be welcome. i'll include some pics. Please be forgiving as I am waiting on buying another better power supply tomorrow and also waiting for a second ssd in the mail. After I receive them it will no longer be frankensteined together like this. There are two fans in front of the drive bays, two behind, one above in the 5 and a quarter bay pushing toward ram on mobo, two pushing up from underneath and a big on on the side of the case pushing in. not counting the two on the radiator pushing up and out and the one on the back pushing out. Why the heck are my temps so high lol. Is it all because of the kingpin not being watercooled?

I would eventually like to add another kingpin in sli so I hope that you guys can help me solve the heat issue without me having to go way out of my depth with a custom water loop. Thanks in advance for any advice.

First, off I see you are new to the forums, so if no one has said so, welcome

Second off, I am going to repeat what you said so that I understand your issue.

You are saying that your CPU temps are around 34C, and that your GPU hits a high of 50C?

If that is true, then you do not have any heat issues at all......in fact you have pretty low temps.

Your CPU should never go beyond 85C and your GPU can realistically handle an upwards of 90C.

Your temps are wayyyyyyyyyyy below that, so you are perfectly fine. Your CPU temps in particular are actually really nice

No problem.

What I can tell you though is that your build would benefit from some cable management. It would help airflow and even prevent dust build up.
