Getting a bigger radiator won't make his exhaust any cooler. It will still have to dissipate the same roughly 400w heat load into the atmosphere. You aren't changing the amount of heat exchanged to the atmosphere with a bigger radiator all you are doing is providing a quicker method to exchange the heat so if anything it will get warmer faster in his room. I have dual 360mm radiators in my build and guess what? The exhaust is still hot because of thermodynamics.
The only way to lower the output temperature is to either provide some form of active cooling (chiller or otherwise) or reroute the heat exchange to another part of the room via longer hose runs and relocating the radiator.
As a final point, a 240mm radiator is more than sufficient to dissipate the heat load of his card as evidenced by his warm leg.
