Thanks folks,

Adding a fan isnt completely out of the equation as I still have 1 fan in my PSU, but this is certainly not preferable.

My main reason for considering the peltier option is that the ambiient temp. is quiet warm. As I understand a passive cooler cannot go below ambient ? Thus if I were to use a peltier-like-device I could maybe bring the coolant temp down (sub-ambient) ?

Here's the rough tempratures at the moment (which are fairly typical)...
Ambient ~25c
Coolant(coming OUT of tower) ~37c
CPU ~46c
GPU ~42c

From this, I conclude that the radiator isnt transfering much heat, so I figure if I can lower the coolant temp, the core temps should drop a little too.
