I would run a fan for any power level. When I'm contesting with my Omni
VI's at 5w, I've got fans running across both radio's heatsinks. They still
get warm even at 5w; not hot, just warm. And they are definitely on when
I'm doing the digital modes.
I use 5" muffin fans behind and above the radios. Works great. The airflow
just happens to come out over the tops of the radios giving me a nice,
gentle (not eye-drying) breeze as I operate.
