Onkyo amp cooling ideas

[Jamie G]

I'm looking to cool my Onk down a bit as i'm a little concerned that the temp its giving of up to 52C is a bit high. I was considering getting myself an Antec AV Cooler, but was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions?

Ideally i would like to have a way of having a cooling system turn on with the amp. Is it possible to use the 12v trigger in some way maybe?


Cheers all

Hi,

Somebody in one of the members kit threads had one of these on top of their Onk.(Item 2,I think)

I think it sucks the air upward and expells it above.they did have some space above theirs though.More than the 5cm Ive got above mine.

I am still considering it though.

I'm thinking similar, I think you could use 3 120MM PC fans in-line but you need a transformer. Over on AVS they talk about 12v triggers but all the links are to USA sites, seems a bit harder to trace components over here.

I'm looking at cooling aswell, any body found any other solutions.

I made a cooling system for my AV amp based on a thread in here

I will see if I can find the thread and post a link

This is what I based my cooling system on
