    DM800HD overheat

    Hi Guys

    Been doing a lot of reading about the DM800 and a lot of info i've read says they suffer badly from overheating does this only happen with cloned dm's or does the original dm suffer from overheating as well?
    If overheating is a problem with original dm's is it possible to fit a cooling fan to it?

    Thanks

                  I dont fancy cutting up a box that costs ?350.00 so is it both clones and originals that suffer overheating?

                                  its got a speed control. the low revs are very silent. more expensive but I don't like noise
