Can you find a used r7 240 or some similar low end cards? They can't produce that much heat. Also, your room has very bad ventilation if it heats up that much. Takes a few hours of gaming to get my tiny workroom from 22c to uncomfortable temperatures (like 26+) and I have a 3060ti and 55" oled heating it up.
