120V AC fans run hot. I'm betting many of the people in this thread saying their fans do not get hot are using 10-12V DC computer fans.

Like I said I ran the power cord for my 120vac fan through a dimmer switch and fine tuned the output so it wouldn't heat up the inside of the incubator past what the thermostat was set for.
