I have mine in a nice case along with the switcher supply. Am debating on the need of including a small fan. I made a shelf from 2 sided PCB material and mounted the Thunderbolt onto that shelf.
The switching power supply sits below the Thunderbolt mounted to the case bottom.

Has anyone experimented with this and found the best solution?  I would like to remove the strong dependence on room temperature that I have currently.

There are quite a few adjustments available for it and it makes sense to me not to reinvent the wheel. I have googled and got some results using Tboltmon. Have tried Lady Heather, but have to figure out just how to utilize that program.
