If the low speed temp creeps up here’s an idea if necessary. Some shrouds(mine included) have full coverage but where the fan(s) aren’t there are rubber trap doors that swing open during high speed flow and”suck shut due to the fan’s negative pressure in the shrouded area. Giving the best of both worlds.
