 >No doubt there is a ratio, but it depends on how much air contacts the tube
seals vs how much contacts the rest of the tube, especially the anode. Every
physical layout is going to have a different answer.

should be good
enough.

         FYI I've learned the following about the ACOM 2000:

1.  Metering for temp range is 10-150C.
2.  Higher speed fan automatically starts at 90C.
3.  LCD HI TEMP warning turns on at 130C.
4.  Amp shuts down at 150C.
