Hi Pete,
That's what the crappy temp sensor tells me - not too sure if I trust it, but it seems to be accurate enough with regard to the ambient air temp.
From day one this Astro 40D has dropped consistently over 20ºC if the temp sensor is to be believed. I got my 40D done around the time Yun was bringing out the cooled 5D MkII which I think cools to 28ºC below ambient but that cooling unit looks like a different beast altogether!
Perhaps Central DS have upped the cooling unit's efficiency - but I tend to think its probably the cheapo thermometer misreading.
Happy with it and the results though.
Cheers
Doug
