I'm currently running three Mastr II mobile configuration repeaters with only the driver board output as the main TX out - been on the air for almost 6 years now with no fails - just bypass the final board and run some coax to the filter board input and you's good to go.
If you think about it, the driver board was designed to run the final board at full tilt if it's set that way - maybe not continuously, but they do it anyway. I run a small computer fan on the heat sinks of one of the repeaters, but only because it's loading suggests a little more air across the sinks - the other two barely get warm with daily use. These are UHF radios, in case someone was gonna ask...
