RE: Supplementary heat sink?

I think you have little to be concerned about since the heat being transferred to the top of the enclosure is a sign that it is an effective heatsink. If the top panel was not hot, that would be a bad sign, since the heat would pose a real problem for the transistors. I expect the Zippi fan will do what you wish by providing cooling of the top panel which is acting like a proper heatsink.

I have a Newmar marine power supply that runs hot enough to burn my fingers when I touch the massive aluminum heatsink, and as a result I'm sure the PSU is not being stressed by the load.
