If your radio is getting that hot then adding a fan would be (imo) cheap insurance. It seems like it's hit and miss with the running hot issue. I've read of others having a problem, but the temp gauge on my 7000 has never run in the red. I know a couple locals that also run the 7000 and they have never had a problem either. If you do put a fan on it you may want to consider a brushless type and a couple wraps of the power leads around a ferrite bead to eliminate the possibilty of fan noise in your receive.
