Both of these models will heat up at rated power. In the case of the MC162 it is rated at 500 watts into four ohms mono. If run at 1/3 power for an hour and then turned up to full power for five minutes, it will throw off some heat. All McIntosh amps have large heatsinks because fans are loud and cool running amps will last longer.Ron-C
