[time-nuts] 5370B heatsink temperature

[John Lofgren]

Check the archives on this one.  There have been several discussions in the past about high heatsink temperatures.  Some users have added external fans to them to get the temperature down.

Subject: [time-nuts] 5370B heatsink temperature

I just acquired my first HP 5370B off of ebay. After I had it running
for 30 min to get it warm and start doing the checkout procedures in
the manual i noticed that the heatsink was REALLY hot. I used my IR
thermometer to check it and it read ~160F(71C). This seems excessively
hot to me. What's "normal"? i didn't see it in the manual, but I might
have missed it.
