The problem that most converter boxes (not just Apex) have is that they have a very poor cooling system. It is completely passive. I installed a small 12v cpu fan into mine and do not expect to have any problems. Just clip off the fan connector and plug the red wire into +12v and the black into the GND next to +12v on the power supply board. You are able to just put the bare wire in the connector along with the other wires; there is no need for solder. The operating temperature is 20 degrees celsius lower now. I will likely post an instructable on it sometime soon.
