I have an Orion II, an Omni VII and 2 Omni VI+'s. I have fans on every one.
Would not consider running without one. If you are a bit crowded, chances are
that air flow is not as free as it could be across the heat sink. All the more
reason to force the movement of that air with a fan

Subject: [TenTec] cooling fan
I have a fan on the back of both my Omni VI+ and my Corsair II.Probably not
needed about %99 of the time, but if I contest with them I like to keep them
cool.
Those of you that run Orions, do you use a fan on the heat sink? Do you feel
that one is necessary? It does make the front to back length greater and in
my case I do not have a lot of extra room in back of the rig.
Thanks for any replies.
