<![CDATA[SG-3100 Running Consistently Hot]]>Recently purchase an SG-3100 which is currently running at 77-85C consistently under very little load. Is this temperature normal or should I be looking at returning this unit for a another one. Any help would be appreciated.

Is it under high load?

Thanks

It can easuly be affected by placing it on top of something warm for example.
What's the ambient temperature there? Where is it installed?
85C is hotter than I might expect if it's running in normal room temperature. I have seen other units running that hot though without issue.
