      Is there any way, with a console command, to see the temperature that the driver is registering?

      Y...

      At what temperature are the steps lost?

        The drivers report over temperature warning at about 100C. If the temperature rises a further 50C, the drivers shut down and you lose steps. The firmware will produce messages if this happens.

        The best ways to cool the Duet are to use a fan to blow cool air across either both sides of the boards along the line of drivers, or just along the back of the board. If you are able to mount the Duet vertically then natural convection is usually sufficient up to at least 2A current.

            What it's best for airflow... Extract air from Duet case.... or enter air?

            The fan of case its extractin air from Duet case.

              Use a fan to blow air over at least the back of the Duet, and make sure that the warmed air can exit the enclosure at the other end.

                If it's any help, I've created a couple of designs for Duet enclosures that take fans which blow onto the back of the board. One is for the Duet main board and the other is for the Duet plus Duex5.

                You can find them on Thingiverse here

                and here

                https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1859048

                I included the OpeScad files so you can adapt the design if you want to.

                    I'm partial to this case: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2150997

                    It follows the same thermal principals as networking gear and other enclosed circuit board systems. Hot air is exhausted from one end and cool air drawn in from the other. There are no other slots or openings to allow the air to go anywhere else. This forces the cool air over both sides of the board with no short circuits. The two fans are then thermostatically controlled using the CPU as temperature proxy for the drivers.
