If you read on you would see that I just recalled slightly incorrectly, it is
that weird MFC6070. Yes, you should invest in heatsinking it. Do not over-
invest thought, since additional physical load will make mechanical stress to
the joints. Also invest in fresh caps around it so it doesn't blow as a
consequence of those. You know all this, I'm just reminding you. :o)

Cheers,
