Is that the model that has a fan mounted horizontally blowing down

onto a
skimpy heatsink ?



Blowing up into an adequate , for fan blown, heatsink with a bank of 12

How do you define adequate ? I design my own heatsinks for amps you see

and most
others I come across are very inadequate, notably recent Peaveys.

For fan blown o/p devices the heatsink surely does not have to be much more
that a metal matrix for holding the devices to. Does not have to be
multifluted or with those chisseled multi-vanes etc (sorry don't know the
generic term , end up curved ) or a great mass of metal for convection
cooling
