Sorry friend, but as a scientist I would disagree with your comments on the thermal conductivity of sand.
Sand has a very low thermal conductivity.
As an example, on a hot sunny day at the beach the sand on the top gets very hot - sometimes too hot to walk on. But it conducts very little heat to the ground below. Dig down just a couple of inches and its quite cool.
Now I'm a firm believer this tweak will work, but not at the expense of wiping out an expensive component. What we haven't decided on yet is whether these components naturally run hot.
Cheers Chris
