It's a pretty easy thing to miss and I think there's good reasons for choosing 40C as the cooling system setpoint: for one thing the soliton1 doesn't start to derate until 55C so 40C seems pretty reasonable but also the steady state temperature for my controller seems to settle in around 30-35C so having the cooling turn on at 40C seems logical.

It's just the unique derating curve of the soliton jr that makes a lower cooling setpoint possibly a better choice. You could always increase the temperature at which the JR starts to derate power
