First time using a swamp cooler for primary fermentation.

I racked to secondary (I have had good results with secondaries), dry hopped, and put back into swamp cooler.

Do I need to keep it in the swamp cooler from here on out, or can I let it sit in the ambient (72 deg) temperature? The FG is stable.
 
Ambient room temperature is good for dry hopping. Fermentation flavors have already been set so the swamp cooler is no longer necessary.
 
it's actually supposed to be best to dry hop around 70°

"Temperature also plays a role in the quality and strength of the hop aroma. Warmer temperatures extract more oils than colder temperatures — this is particularly evident with whole hops. In a fermenter a rule of thumb is to dry hop near 70° F."
