I've got a Thermaltake Xaser III case. I just replaced some of the fans (the front 2 80mm, the back 2 80mm, and the top 80mm) with Sunon Ultra fans (~50CFM at ~40dBa) to try and lower the case temps and hopefully the processor temp as well (by having more, cooler air moving through). Oddly enough, though, the case temps have actually gone up by about 3 or 4 degrees (under load). The processor temp is about the same.

Summary:
7 case fans total, all 80mm, ~21CFM, ~28dBa
Replaced the 5 mentioned above with ~50CFM, ~40dBa Sunons
Case temp went up

What would lead to this?
