rsp-1068 running really hot

[ILuvDefTech]

Looking at past threads on this, it seems like this is just the nature of the beast. But it still bothers me a bit because sometimes it's too hot to even touch. I have it in a Salamander rack with about 2 or 3 inches of space above it with the extended, ventilated rear panel. The sides are enclosed. I don't want to move it to the top of the rack. I'm wondering if I should be worried, if I should install a fan, etc. If a fan is an option, what kind of fan and how would it have to be hooked up?

I actually have the Salamander rack, try removing the extended ventilated rear panel, it provides better ventilation. Give it a test. However with the sides being enclosed I would think you are better off with the 1068 on the top, IMHO. That's where my RSP-1098 is located, and it is merely warm to the touch, even after extended play.

Hope this helps,

If it runs that hot you're heading for premature failure.
