Thanks a lot, that kind of confirms what I was thinking. I am running a k6-2
and the box is as venilated as I can make it in a cramped Japanese
apartment (in others words, venilation could be better). This was prolly the
case. I was hoping that the general cold of the apartment would help keep
everything cool. (Japan has not discovered insulation yet, so the temp in
the apartment is generally the same as outside).
Live and learn.
