[Elecraft] KPA500 fan noise

During a normal rag chew after three or four minutes, the temp on my 
KPA500 hits 70 degrees and the fans are at full blast. It is difficult 
to hear over the fan noise even when using headphones. Running 480 watts 
out (verified on a calibrated wattmeter) on 20 meters. SWR is 1.0:1.

Is this normal for the KPA500?

Thanks
