I have one 120mm intake on the front and one 120mm outake on the back. I have the cpu cooler faced right toward the outake. I have the PSU fan pointed downward because my case is raised with feet to breath. My GPU fan is built in and it just takes the heat right out the back of the pci expansion slots.

Solution
Look on the fan, there should be two arrows, one showing rotation, the other airflow.
The way it was setup, well the way my EVO was at least, was the fan blows across the heatsink, meaning you are blowing to the intake, taking air from the exhuast. (Just unclip the fan and move it to the other side, so that it blows to the exhaust)

I would put the CPU cooler fan on the other side of the cooler so that it blows through the cooler rather than sucking through it. You'll get better air flow that way with the same noise levels.
