how to keep garage attic cool

[87GN]

I had a 1200 sq ft garage built last year. I'm trying to get the attic temps down. Right now, they are about 30* above the temp in the garage. I had fan installed that turns on at 85*, but it still goes to over 108* on a 80* day and summer isn't here yet. The fan is rated for 1650 sq ft area. The attic is about six feet high in the center. I have acces to the attic using pull down stairs which I pull down to get some air flow up there. Would another fan blowing out (or in) intalled in the vent on the end of the side of the garage help? Thanks.

Any air that you can move thru the attic will help. Make sure that you have enough vents to allow for make up air to enter the attic. If you have a huge fan blowing out and no vents to make up that air you are wasting your time. It's always going to be hotter up there because the sun hits the roof and that heats things up.
