I have to say that I am the only one does not think that they get that hot. I have them on a rack iwth the recomended 6 inches of clearence abouve them, and they really are really just warm to the touch (now you have to tkae into consideration that before I got them everyone said they would be extremely hot...so perhaps by expectations simply exceded reality). The answer is while they are running in hi bias mode I can easily put my hands on top of them without burning myself. I hope that helps.
