Which is exactly why fan modifications should be made right out of the box. Fan design by these companies revolves around keeping the computer quiet so it will appeal to consumers with no regard to the long term effects of the added heat.
The last computer I bought was an HP, and it struck me as odd that both exhaust fans only had a hint of air pressure.
I installed SpeedFan and found that HP was setting the fans at below 50% power. So I hooked the fan up to a PSU plug to bypass the mobo 50% limit and it's a decent temp in there now.
