Unless you have a ginormous heat sink with a square foot of fins, in
which case it wouldn't need active cooling. It would be kind of
Macgyver thing, but it can be done. Remember those old 200 watt per
channel class A/B amps? They didn't need fans because they had ample
heat sinks, many times with the fins external to the unit.
