Anyone using Laptop coolers instead of the AC Infinity products?

Hmm, I started using the AC Infinity fans on top of my Denon AVR-X5200 a few years ago, plugging them into the front USB input of the 5200, and it was some time after that that I lost the left front channel of the 5200. The 5200 had been working perfectly for many years before that. I wonder if running the cooling fans off of the USB input could have caused the problem.

Dunno myself as to what extent of possible effects .... or if they're particularly related in your case.

I doubt that the fans would have caused the problem, unless they were rotating to push back hot air into the 5200 instead of pulling it out.

I'd just recommend saving a little extra and getting the AC Infinity (T or S Series) for anyone still reading this. It's a little bit of money yes but I think they will last a long time and I just like the idea that my gear will stay cool no matter what. Takes that variable out.
