Take a guess Einstein.

These things have a high operational temperature range. If it's hot, then
maybe the power efficiency is lower than a similar model, or by using
heatsinks instead of a fan, low noise takes priority over lower temperature.

Whichever it is, your STB still works (you haven't told us that heat has
affected its function, which is why I asked).

Surprisingly, your brainless retort about Einstein is actually relevant:
If you are a glutton for equations, well-, here is one devised by - of all
persons - Albert Einstein, who posited that each sustance has a
characteristic frequency of vibration "v", and that the absorption of energy
by oscillators does not obey continuous classical mechanics, but rather
follows discontinuous quantum theory a la Planck. Here is an Einstein
equation that is a bit more difficult to remember than E=mc2:

where: T =absolute temperature; v = characteristic frequency; N = Avogadro's
number
k = R/N = 1.380x10-15 erg/degree; and h = Planck's constant = 6.625 x 10-27
erg seconds**
