I have an HP Pavilion Slimline Desktop, and I have had problems with my fan running high. I had my graphics card and fan for it replaced because it was messed up. Well, a few weeks later it starts running high again. I blew it out with an Air Compressor Blower, and now it doesnt do it any more. You shouldnt have to clean it that often, does anyone have this problem sometimes?

I used to have a Slimline PC like that, and trust me, they SUCK at ventilation. What my grandmother did (she had one until it died, not surprisingly) is use a small desk fan to cool it down. Also, unfortunately, you do have to blow it more often because of the more compact space between the components.

I don't like small form factor cases. Less room to expand.

To me, (Even though its a Slimline) it seems like it has a poor design of placing the graphics card and fan. I mean, there is like a little over a centimeter of space between the fan and something else. It doesnt seem like it would get much air ventilation.
