They run warm, the duty cycle is low on these radios, states right on the radio, 10% TX / 90% RX
Rather that swap output devices just mount a small fan on the heatsink and call it good.

Is the radio in a mobile or used as a base? Shouldn’t be too bad to stick a fan behind it if it’s a base.
Is this a recently purchased radio? How do you know it has 13n10's?
I just bought one about a month ago, and mine runs hot too especially if it is run wide open. It's doing 78 watts true peak tuned from the factory on AM. Does 62 watts on sideband. Been running mine about 40 to 45 watts, and it stays a good bit cooler.
The heatsink design is the same that's on a Stryker 447HPC2, but that radio has 1 driving 2 mosfets while the Quad 6 is 1 driving 1 driving 2. It gets hot too running wide open.
Well mine never did that from factory it done 30w but after it was tuned it's like anywhere from 35-45 now but had trouble with it from day one not working right and at this point not sure if I want to send it out or just buy a 955
My AT-6666 has been running 2 years with no heat problems at all and the covers have never been removed. (So I have no idea what MOSFETS it is equipped with) But it never peaks more than 20 watts.

Two years + on my 9900 I actually turned it down a bit to run into a amp.
The builder knows, hence the duty cycle on the label.
If you run them at lower power that gets better.
I have a lot of fun with it.

My only complaint if it's even worthy of mention is I've about wore the encoder out. It's skips a whole ton now but the performance of the radio keeps me using it.
