Following the discussion, I made a full power test with my K3/100 on the dummy load, and no noise in the room...My wife & 4 years old son were away ! PA temp was rising up to 55ÂșC, the 2 fans were not audible from my chair. I could heard barely if I put my ears very close to them and feel the heat flux with my hand. Indeed very quiet fans. 73's Philippe A65BI K3#3616
