It's getting so hot because you do not have air movement. Have your fan exhaust air at the top, and make a passive air intake near the bottom on opposite side of fan. If still too hot, you need more CFM's

And therein lies your problem. You are bringing air in at the top and you should be pulling air out, not in. I would suggest turning your fan around, and making sure you have a place for fresh air to enter near the bottom.
