Cool it!

Running 3 4"dia. ’puter fans atop my SS amp, ’blowing in’ the grate.

Have only triggered the ’fail safe’ once.....and I was being pretty enthusiastic.

12vdc with a wall wart, leave it on 24/7/365.25. Keeps the dust away as well...cheap insurance.

If it has a grate, it gets ’fanned’. I don’t understand why tube amps don’t come with them. If those heat sinks get hot, they’d benifit as well.

'Ell, my 'puter has 4.  Power supply, CPU, and case (of course), but also one on the graphics card that cools the audio card as well.  And I'm considering adding an exterior pair as well.  Gotta stay 'chill'...

"I love the smell of hot electronics....NOT." ;)

DK....easy 'nuff with dc....;)

"Sous, sous, sushi...."

Sorry, old Tubes number....couldn't resist.  Spouse is hooked on 'food porn'....'Chopped', Beat the Flay, Wurst Kooks....all that....

"OK, 'chefs'....for our 'alien entre'....Open that basket....if you dare...."

*horrible screams and sound of crunching bones...*

"Well, I guess the chefs are on the menu tonight..."
