Basically,

Swapped out the intake fans Corsair SP120's ~2300rpms and added two 140mm exhaust fans 1900rpm
temps are ~ 46-51c  in a 20c room. Left to run overnight.

Doesn't sound like a vacuum cleaner after this

What are your chip temps? I have two bgears PWM 120mm pushing 110CFM and a pair of 140mm bgears PWM pushing another 110CFM and it still gets hot in ambient above 75F to a point where it shuts off.

They don't know how to design.
They keep experimenting with parts.
Replace your thermal pads with thermal pads from Fujipoly, even the cheapest one will lower your temps.
They use thermal with less than 3 watt/mk and those thermal pads are too thick.
