>eventually the cap is going to achieve equilibrium with the environment the environment is probably around 25 degrees. It's sitting between the environment and some heat producing element, so it will reach steady state somewhere between 25 degrees and the temp of that element. Making it as far away (thermally) as you can from that element should lower it's steady state temperature.
