Attic exhaust fans can help by lowering the temperature of the attic, but the best you can achieve is to get the attic to the same temperature as the outside air. You still need an insulation barrier between the attic and the living space to slow down the rate of heat transfer between the two spaces. And, 12 inches of insulation is better than 6 inches of insulation.
