No noticeable difference on my 710M. I have a winch from Andre (Fat Fabrications) and a WARN XD9000 winch.

No difference. Air is also pulled in from the bottom of the engine area. I had my 710 M running in the desert of SoCal and Death Valley where it was so hot that touching the metal body would burn your skin...115 deg F easy for air temp. No issue with winch in front.
