That being said, it's still well within an acceptable temp range either way so I prefer the smoother 16k setting but it could be something to try if you still need the power of an aggressive boost/turbo profile but want to try to cool the ESC a little.
I thought the lower k setting would raise the esc temp. Just read the manual and you were right. That explains why I couldn't get my esc temp down.
