Does this count as "exotic cooling"?

so i live in the middle of nowhere. cant get a decent hard wired internet connection where i live. so i have a Netgear NightHawk mobile hotspot as my main connection. 

 

i was having a problem with it getting really hot and throttling my speeds to basically unusable, so i cobbled a cooler together. 

 

i ordered some cheap little aluminum heatsinks on aliexpress and cannibalized a case fan and a USB charging cable to make this monstrosity. 

 

it works.
