If I got that right you have 2x 120mm and 2x 80mm sucking in and only 2x 80mm for exaust. Your air flow is way out of balance you need cloase to the same amount in as out. Also if you go to crazy with fans you can disrupt the flow through the case. Plan the layout carefully a nice even flow is much better then a random one with fans fighting eachother.

bump. This shows the importance of placing fans correctly.
