Hi guys,

How hot should a BM8000 get if it’s been on a few hours playing at about 3.2?

Mines pretty hot. Not too hot to touch but hot all the same. It’s been completely recapped and the trimmers have all been replaced and the no load current is set to 18mV exactly with a 25 turn trimmer. Is this normal? I suppose it’s shifting a lot of current and it has massive heat sinks for a reason.

Thanks in advance.

Lee

Ignore that. I had the idle current set too high. Bad multimeter.
