Engine Bay cooling fan relocation -Cool enough to work outside at lst !

Modification to improve engine bay cooling.
One of the simple solutions suggested to provide more prolonged cooling for the engine compartment(not coolant) is to relocate the sensor(shown in the Pelican link) to a hotter location.

In theory this causes to engine compartment fan to come on at a lower temperature than intended and stay on longer ,until a power temperature is reached.
Has anyone actually done this and what is the specific new location suggested? Was it beneficil ?
For those interested in related links ,here are some useful ones I found:

Note ,this is not the same as the IAT in the MAF
