Heat being the enemy of electronics (or do I have that badly wrong?), is it not worthwile getting additional cooling gadgets to cool down your receiver/amp? Something like a notebook fan upside-down on top of the receiver, pushing air in from the top? My Sony is running quite hot, as they are known to do, so I'm toying with the idea. Or maybe some extractor/blower fans to push-pull airflow across it? 

(The receiver has lots of air around it, I'm not boxing it in, and it's not running hotter than normal)
