Arris CM3200 question

Hi all!

 

Just a quick question about this modem. Is it normal that it doubles back as a space heater? It gets quite more hot than the previous(cm820) one. I poked in a thermal couple through one of the went holes and it shows ~57°C. I cant find any useful info about this one...

 

Thanks in advance.

Thats normal. As a guy who deals with modems a lot, I would recommend putting it in a cool, well ventilated area to breath and may not hurt to have a small fan blowing on it.

Yikes, I'd seriously suggest getting some shelves so you can move those devices further apart.

(This is an old image, at the end of the room there is a tv now and a tv stand under it for my consoles and games. So no room at the back either.)
