Lian-Li PC7USB cooling fan placement/Heat issue?

I finished putting my PC together in a Lian-Li PC7usb case. I noticed the the default fan placement was 2 fans in front blowing out and one fan in the middle rear also blowing out. near the fan in the middle rear are vent holes that I assume would let the air in being that all the fans are blowing out. I played dungeon siege for 5 hours, saved tha game and hit the reset button so I could get into the bios as fast as possible to check the temps. The temps read 56 celcius for the CPU. Assuming that it cooled off a few degrees by time I got to that point in the BIOS I figure the temp while playing game or such would put the degrees in the 60+ celcius range which I think is too hot. Shouldnt one or more fans be sucking air in? I was thinking of rearranging the 2 lower front fans to suck in air and having the rear fan blow it out the back. Advice please? Thanks.

BTW, its a P4 1.6, GF3 ti200, all 6 slots full and 3 cd/dvd/burner devices (No HDs inside case)
 
the front 2 should be sucking air in. On my pc-10 that's how it set up, so that the two in the lower front suck air in, and then the rest are exhaust.
