Re: Do Talons need fan?

Any testing I've done/seen so far, the passive cooling tends to do the trick. But we'll only know for sure after week 1. Just make sure you mount them in a spot where they can breathe.

I think they are unlikely to have any problems in a <30amp circuit. If you manage to pop a few breakers, please post the temp of the Talons.

Longevity is the next issue we'll be discussing if the passive cooling is inadequate.

Edit: judging by the spec sheet my original guess of 30 amps was pretty close. Use fans if you connect Talons to Cims.
