heat problem in CG-1500 box

[BobinWV]

How are folks handling heat buildup in your CG-1500 cases?  I have a CG-1500 with 2-350 watt power supplies and a Falcon F-16 board.  With the box shut and no lights running the temp.  Inside the box the temp runs about 80-85ºƒ.   This is a 72ºƒ basement.  I suspect this would work in the outdoors with a cooler ambient temp at night.  I was testing another feature, got distracted and left the lights on on the mega tree!  Ran for awhile and then I heard a pop and half the lights went.  Opened the box and one power supply was off and very hot.  I assumed the power supply would shut down based on the specs from Rays web site.
 High-temperature protection   ERH3>=65°C~70°C Fan on,<=55°C~60°C Fan off,>=80°C~85°C,Cut off output(5~15V)Cut off output(5~15)~(24~48V)
The way I reads this is that the unit should shut off all output power at about 176ºƒ!  I am letting it cool down to see if it resets.  Sure hope so.  That pop has me worried.
Next day
The power supply did not reset.
I am at a loss as to what to do.  One thought would be to put the two power supplies in separate  boxes and leave the F-16 board in the CG-1500 box.
Thoughts and suggestions appreciated.

I put my power supplies in the plastic battery boxes, and try to set them so some air is pulled in one side and out the other.

I'm running 2 power supplies in a separate CG1500 box.  Heat kills electronics, and most of these power supplies do have a thermal shut off.

Is there room to put in a fan.?

I have thermostatically controlled fans in all of my power supply boxes. They simply suck in cool air and vent out hot air.  I ordered the switches so that they trigger on about 70 F and shuts down at 55F. It's been working perfectly with my power supply box which has 12 350 watt power supplies.

Vents (intake) on one end of the box and the fans pushing out ou the other side of the box. Compleatky automatic. For having 12 big power supplies in a steel box, it was imperative.  This is for my 48 X 150 Pixel megatree.

If you need, I can sell you the temperature switch. --Greg--

How many LEDs were you powering?

I know I have 2 Ray Wu power supplies in a similar box and when everything is all white for 20 minutes (highest power draw), temps inside the box reach the low 100s (F) - in a room with an ambient temp of 70.  Outside, in the winter, in Colorado, I'm sure it's cooler.

Over 130 degrees starts to hurt them. Generally outside in temperate climates, it is not a problem. I run 2 - 350w supplies in a single box and they don't get hot. 53 degrees outside now. If it was 80 I might be concerned.

My pixel tree is 5V WS2812b pixels.  48 strands of 150 pixels each. So 7200 pixels. I use 12 seperate 350 watt  power supplies. It works perfect. --Greg--
