Full Version: Heat from power supplies and controller's.

So I'm in the throws of building my first display. I have built a control panel that will be situated in my shed. It's a closed control panel that will house 2 power supplies 2 8 channel controller's and a 3 channel one. I'm now considering that there could be quite a build up of heat in the panel. How hot do the power supplies and controller's get when in use? Thinking of maybe fitting a fan top and bottom to draw air through it but could these cause interference?
You should be OK with these controllers as don't seem to get too hot.  But you can put in a fan if you want to.

Some controllers can get hot like the ethernet pixel controller and are best if in an enclosure with power supply to have a fan to circulate the air.
