There is no "magic bullet" that keeps the temperature constant with zero airflow in a normal design. Yes, I'm old enough to remember oil cooled computers. Still no constant temperature and you have turbulence.

I agree that there is no "silver bullet", but my point was that 
sometimes you kill one property when you apply a solution to another 
problem. I am very well aware of heating problems and cooling my 
components, as this is part of my real world. But rather than isolating 
the full box, I'm talking about the TCXO or OCXO. Just putting a small 
wind-shield over it changes things a lot at times.

Cheers,
