I did an experiment on my two K3's - key down at 100 watts for four minutes while noting PA Temp and fan speed. Both K3's behaved identically and both leveled off at PA Temp = 64C after about 3 minutes. For the record, here are the results (best viewed with Courier font): Time Temp Fan 0:00 26C 0 0:26 37 1 0:44 41 2 1:19 50 3 1:45 55 4 2:40 60 4 2:50 62 4 3:15 64 4 4:00 64 4 Room temp was 77F. According to the manual, the PA is set to drop into bypass at 84C, so it didn't even come close.
