The max operational temperature quoted in documentation is almost
always ambient (or inlet) temperature, not the temperature of any
particular hot spot on the board.  At 30c inlet, you're well within
spec.  Is there something you have read that leads you to believe
things are different in this case?  Can you point me there if so?
