If you're super worried about heat, throw a second cooler at it but seriously, more trouble than it's worth. Stick with the replacement option

I've since found an issue with the car that accounts for the cooler failure but had aleardy bought/installed the Derale in the time it took PWR to examine/respond hence the spare unit. 1
