Alright, so I've got a computer in a microATX case. The power supply that was in there was a 250 watt, so I upgraded it first thing to this.

I liked it fine till I decided I wanted a better quality one. (and power supplies were the one thing I knew largely nothing about) And got this. (It was on sale last week, $10 off)

Now the only issue I have with this new one is that it doesn't seem to be blowing any air out the back. I assume it only kicks up when the power supply itself is under a large load. After using the PSU calculator apparently I only needed a 300 watt power supply, so it's unlikely to do so. Is there any way to force it to?
The last power supply always blew and I could feel significant airflow from both it and the scythe 92 fan that I addded. Those are literally the only places fans go in this case.
After running Prime95 and a graphics stress thing for aboutt 40 minutes now, SpeedFan says that the CPU fan gets up to 3700 and the scythe just sits at its normal (and max) 2000 RPM.
Temp1: 47c
Temp2:57C
Temp3: 49C
HD0: 30C (it's a 320 gig WD AAKS single platter)
Core: 53C
With the other power supply in it I had done the same test but at the time only to see if it would fail. IIRC the CPU fan only got up to 3000, and Temp2 at least was not that high.
Advice? I'm not intending on getting a new case though...
