I'm not sure about that.... I hear what you're saying.... But, thermal dynamics would suggest.. (I have no idea what I'm taking about).... haha

Seriously though: put a 200d brake rotor in 115d water.... It's not good go over 200d.... It's gonna cool.
I don't think ambient should make at difference at all, because it's not the cause of the heat.

Im talking myself into it though.... because it IS the primary source of cooling....

See? No idea what I'm talking about..
