[QUOTE="Riley Casey, post: 215589, member: 125"] Any heat will reduce the life of the electronics, it's the nature of the physics. The question is by how much. Too hot to touch is usually an indication that you have a problem. First step is to ensure even passive air circulation. Don't set the unit on a table or case top and expect the rubber feet to allow enough air to enter the bottom vents. Always operate any electronics that don't have active cooling ( fans and more exotic cooling systems ) in a position that allows a 'chimney effect' - cool air from below the unit to rise past the heat producing components inside and out thru the top. It's pretty effective if the designers chose to employ it in the case design. If the case doesn't have enough ventilation look for ways to maximize it by removing plastic hole covers or anything that prevents air flow. A fan on a mixer seems problematic if the mixer is also a control surface. [/QUOTE]
