GK overheating concerns

[epic!]

I have a 700RBII inside a single space rack mount. There isnt much room to vent on top. Should I be concerned? So far I havent noticed an excessive heating but it just seems the fan might not be getting enough air.

The 700RB is larger than one rack space.

What specific rack is it??? For example, I've had a 700rb-II in an SKB ATA 2U rackcase for quite some time now, with zero overheating issues... but, something that doesn't have as much extra space up top could definitely cause problems...

IME, as long as the fan has atleast 1/2" of clearance, it'll work OK...
