The amount of heat your gear will 'give up' to the environment is related to the difference in temp. If your amp runs at 100f in a 100f room, very little heat will be transferred. In a 65f room, you've got no problems.
--------------------
Maybe you were trying to say something else, but it didn't come out right. The electronics will essentially be at a constant delta above room ambient (more or less). If your amp runs at 100F when the room is 100F, it means that at 65F room, the amp would run at 65F. Of course, that isn't going to happen.
If the amp is at 100F when the room is at 65F, then when the room is at 100F, the amp will be at 135F. The heat transfer is constant, that's why the amp runs at a constant delta T above ambient.
