----------clip----------- John - Santa Clara designed the 5370A/B such that the fan sucks external air into the box. The box is designed so that a portion of this air loops around and then vents back to the outside through the three holes in the external heatsink. This helps cool the external heatsink, as the venting air blows by the three center fins of that heatsink assembly. Having said that, if you end up running your particular 5370B in the long-term without a fan (or without a top cover), let us know how you come out with it. :-) Best, Greg _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
