does it run hot? Does the Dayton run hot or cool after turned on for an hour in a closed cabinet?

They run cool. It is a digital design, so wastes very little power in the form of waste heat.

It gets pretty hot all the sides except the control button side. Front glass is extremely hot. I can touch top and sides for few seconds. Yes, I have it under the cabinets and there is about 5 inches gap. Top is hot to touch for more than few seconds but it's not that hot that it can damage anything few inches above it.

I have not experienced this unit getting hot and I let it run for extended periods without a break (weeks at a time). So far it seems to be a really good purchase for the price.

I have put mine in low for 7 hours and then it switches to warm for 3. No issues.

Hmmm...not sure about the fan, but I haven't heard it and I normally sit within arm's reach of it when using it. I am not using it in a super quiet location, such as a studio, however. When packing up after two hours of use I haven't noticed that the unit is hot.

I had mine on for an hour or so, and it got hot, but did not overheat. Sorry, Wish I could help.

I think it has a small fan. i am using it at present and can heard a very quiet motor that is not the hard drive. If I leave it running for some hours it gets comfortably warm.

I have the unit in my basement and wasnt watching it consistently after starting it up, but it cooled down down from the mid to high sixties at the start to the low to mid fifties (desired settings) within 2-3 hours. It has consistently remained at 53/54 degrees for the two zones respectively for the past few months. I'm very satisfied this far. Hope that helps.

A non liquid or gel cooled CPU cooler can only cool the CPU to as cool as the room its in. And maybe a few degrees cooler. How hot is your house? And btw... 70-80 under load itsnt that bad assuming your house is around 70-75. Start worrying when you hit 90 at Max load. If you cool the room its in and continue to have issues or unsatisfactory temps then get your motherboard tested. (I've had this issue and once it was the MB reporting faulse temps. Also... try a different program for monitoring your temps while under load. And only run one at a time.)

It does take about a min to warm up. Mine can get extremely hot. I set it to 60.

I would say it runs hot. I purchased it to be able to bake cookies since I have an old 20" oven in the kitchen but so far haven't found the right temp. - usu. burns the bottom. Also you must leave the top covered. But not bad for heating/warming/toasting (several mins.) which I think is faster in a small oven like this one.

There is a place for an optional fan, or maybe they just didn't bother to re-design the cabinet. I have three of these and I considered getting fans from Jameco or someplace but they run pretty cool. So I never bothered to put a fan in. So my answer is that it just appears that there is a fan in it. There is no fan in it and as far as I can tell it doesn't need on. One of my 3 drives is active 24/7, very active, as it records 2 (sometimes 3) video channels simultaneously and will also play one another video channel. So up to four open files at once and, well, the little green light flashes fast, a lot, what else can I say!

I'm running an i3 4130t in this exact case without an issue. The case fan is a little loud if that's a concern. The 4130 doesn't get real hot so a quieter lower RPM case fan is sufficient to keep it running. I use mine as an always on server so it runs 24/7 without a single problem to report. It's been several months since I built the server out.

It depends on if it's enclosed or not. I experience severe heat and issues when closing my cabinet door...the temp readout from the Onkyo settings says 65+. If I leave the door open it cools off considerably to around 50 or so. This is with an AV fan sitting on top of it as well. I'm debating on whether I should return it or not and whether its a bad amp or not. I haven't checked the wattage output.

My XL heater cabinet does not get hot, nothing gets hot that i know of on the furnace, the heat warms the air and furniture ....got one for my granddaughter's room, she's 4, I have found to be very safe! However, I would not put my finger on the heater front port, don't know if it is hot or not....re emergency, i would turn it off with the remote

It is not hot to touch. It does not maintain room temp. You can set it to run for 2 hours or 4 hours basically. It allows the temp option, but doesn't really work. It reaches the time limit prior to reaching temperature. It does produce and put out decent heat though. Saved my gas bill last winter.

The exterior gets very hot to the touch. Mine is placed on a kitchen counter top and about five inches underneath the wooden cabinets. It operates here and I have no fear of fire.
