I have a 24 volt fan I use to blow air into the classic to keep it cooler. Where would be the best place to do this? Bottom vent or the right hand side where the heat sink is?
Thanks,

I have been experimenting with fans this past month too.  Did a thread about venting the classic that morphed into a fan discussion.   I finally installed a 4" computer fan coming off AUX 1 on the right side.  I has dropped the FET temp of my classic about 5-12*C.   Internal fans still run,  but on an 80*F Day I was starting to see FET temps of 70*C, now its more like 58*C at its worst since installing the fan.  Seems like location will be important.    Curious to see where your discussion goes.

Here is the thread I started, for what it worth.
