If the cooling unit is 150F (not sure of the actual temp but it's pretty hot).
- If there is minimal airflow, the air around the cooling unit may be 130-140F, so only a 10-20F temp difference.
- If you push 110F air in, that's a 40F temp difference which will extract more heat from the cooling unit.

That said, 110F can be problematic.
