Hi, Just to give you a backdrop. I recently setup my own router using pfsense on an old config, low SPEC'd CPU lying around with the following NIC
Since, it is deployed in a small business environment, there are atleast 15 machines connected to the internet via the network during business hours.
So yesterday when i was inspecting the network card, i found the aluminium heat sink, to be quite hot, essentially, i couldn't touch it continuously for 10 secs.
One solution could be to install a fan in the CPU case, since there's none at the moment, as it is a really low SPEC'd build, it didn't need one. But on the contrary, I thought it would be cool, if i could install a heat sink with air cooler directly on the card itself.
It would be really helpful, if anyone can point me to any guides or solutions or parts.
Thanks in advance.
