Maybe you could screw some more aluminum pieces to the side to improve the heat disipation better?? (or get more rectifiers)
Or, sometimes you can find a 12v cooling fan that has brushes and just hook it up with a diode and the cooling fan only comes on when the mill generates power.

The majority of little cooling fans are brushless and use a transistor which will not work with direct hook up like that since it blows the transistor.
