Iirc, what Steve is talking about there is the reason for ducting. Heat transfer through the plastic is small, but you are picking up hot air at the inlet. Shielding won't help with that.
that is why I asked you if you have checked the temps in the boxes at any time... if not, and no one else can chime in then it's all speculation. If one wants power off the line as well as power into higher speeds then everything has to be kept as cool as possible.
