there runs very hot except the linear regulators themselves, which are
externally heatsinked.

John - Santa Clara designed the 5370A/B such that the fan sucks external air
into the box. The box is designed so that a portion of this air loops around
and then vents back to the outside through the three holes in the external
heatsink. This helps cool the external heatsink, as the venting air blows by
the three center fins of that heatsink assembly. Having said that, if you
end up running your particular 5370B in the long-term without a fan (or
without a top cover), let us know how you come out with it. :-)
Best,
Greg
