I don't think I've ever seen a CPU at 11C before.

LOL Nice! I still prefer my setup thus far:
While gaming: Temp on the left is ambient case air; on the right is liquid temp (I use the difference to show me efficiency.. not very scientific, I know..):

should be able to beat those times quite easy, this is a i5 760 from way back when. i'm using it as a storage server atm :)

Did you just direct your home a/c to your computer?
Thats sick... Teach me pls because I'm getting 40 degrees just turning it on
And I got it physically and virtually cleaned today
Edit: Where do you direct the airflow to? I have an airvent right on top of me (because I'm in my basement)

I forgot to mention that you can outright fry your pc by using hvac cooling. Although the air ducts in a home have a special coating on the interior to remove moisture, the air still contains quite a bit of moisture, and your pc doesn't like moitsure.
Be very, very careful with that (a.k.a. I don't recommend doing that at all. Dean, you especially because you've got no ducts so it's straight moisture).
@nb post a pic of your case, it's internals and each fan you have available.

Ok, so I see your case suffers from what 99% of cases suffer from and I call it "right-side mobo syndrome". Why they have an upside down graphics card when the majority of cooling is above it (again, I bitch at ALL manufacturers; even my beloved haf x suffers from this) is beyond me. This means you can achieve good CPU cooling if you buy even a $30 beefy CPU heat sink but your gpu is destined to fry.
Things I would do:
1. Make sure the side of your case (the door you took off for the pics) has a fan blowing into the gpu; make sure it's a good fan and keep that port dust free, often.
2. Move your hard drive as high as it can go (or as low) - either way, create a smooth path from the front of your case [where I'm assuming you've got a front fan taking air in] to your graphics card. This means taking those cables and routing them properly (think behind the mobo tray if you can. If not, zip ties are your friend).
3. Dust out your gpu; you will be mind-fucked how much shit will come out with compressed air blowing through. It's a reference card and what that means is it sucks air in through the one fan and blows across the gpu and exhausts out the back. This is shittier cooling than something aftermarket but keeps the rest of the PC cooler by not blowing its hot exhaust all over the case. You must keep this bitch clean at all costs.
4. Install something like msi afterburner so you can control the gpu fan using a custom fan curve (I've usually had success with 1-to1 temperature vs fan percentage speed up to 50C, then I crank it after that).
5. Move that sub and whatever is behind your PC. You need room all around it (as much as you can) because right now you're just recycling the hot air.
6. Lastly, if you get a decent CPU cooler, make the top fan intake and rear fan exhaust and face the CPU cooler's fan towards the rear in a 'push' configuration.
