Re: Fans / Coolers for Onkyo 705
One thing I did with a dish network sat receiver that I had that would always run very hot and shutdown, is I built a small tray with a 120mm computer case fan in. Then set the receiver on top of the small tray so that the fan would blow up into the bottom of the receiver. Now my receiver did have small louvers on the underside of the unit so the fan actually blew into the receiver. I never had another problem after that. Now the hum of the fan was another thing that was hard to get used to, however there are ultra quiet fans you can purchase for this. I went with a cheap 3 dollar fan to do it.
Another alternative would be to utilize a popular accessory for gamer overclockers. Purchase a good water cooler to cool you processor and chipsets on the board. Of course that would require opening the case to install the water cooler. I know what your thinking... I'm not going to put anything that contains water in my receiver. Rest assured they come completely contained with soldered copper tubing. Those kits do wonders for cooling in overclocked PC's.
