If it ain't broke - don't fix it. The fans on the K3 are fine. If your
K3 is getting hot, check the original fans to be sure they weren't blocked
by a screw or something. There is a fan-check procedure outlined in the
manual somewhere (menu item?). You can also read the actual temp on the
finals through the menu.

K3 # 101
Hello,
I am currently in the process of upgrading the fans for the KPA3 100 Watt
Amplifier module because the heatsink temperature gets too high for my
liking.
