Hopeful it doesn't. Mine is circa 2017-18 and had it's share of use. Thankfully there's mic buttons to help.
I have been running my quad 6 @ 90 PEP for 4 months now without issues. When shooting skip, the TX/RX cycle is around 50%, with the fan running, the heat sink barely gets warm even after 30+ minutes. When stock, before the tune up, vishay520's, and fan this radio would get to hot to touch after less than 5 minutes of operation.
Got a picture of your fan setup? Would like to put a fan on my Quad 6.
Once my amp gets rebuilt, about 35 to 40 watts pep with a 4 to 5 watt carrier is all that I will be running my radio at. I do get long winded, so a fan mounted to the heatsink would help with cooling. Best radio I have ever owned.
My Anytone 6666 is running cool now. I use it for my base station radio. I talk locally for hours some times, and the radio was getting too hot for me even with a five watt dead key.
Bought a Wathai 120mmx32mm AC blower fan with variable speed fan controller. It's laying flat behind the radio, and it does not move around even at high speed. Been using the variable speed set to 12:00, and it keeps the radio good and cool.
Fan is $20.99 on Amazon. It's double ball. At full blast it's too loud for me. Blows enough air set at 12:00 to keep my radio cool. Fan link below.

My Quad 6 outputs around 70w and runs warm but not hot. Also has 1 small fan mounted to the heatsink. It's quiet yet draws air past the fins.
