Modem Overheating

Hello Everybody,

 

So I have this modem, and I have had it for a while, but it recently started overhearing for some unknown reason. I contemplated putting a heatsink in the main processor, however I did not have one that did not interfere with other components, so I found a (what I think) very original solution:

My question is has anyone else ever done anything silly but necessary like this?

Haha, I love this cooling solution !

Could be your power brick that's faulty, sending too much juice and causing the overheating.

Hello Mrenusso,

It's not the power brick, I have tried several different power bricks to no avail. I think that it is the fact that I recently got a 1 megabit/s increase in my connection speed, and that it is hammered 24/7 by my family and myself.

Thanks for the reply!

Still an issue though.

Modems are conceived (well, supposedly) to run at least at 70% load 24/7. If the modem is provided by your ISP, request a new one for free.

Otherwise, you can surely keep this solution as long as it works, haha !

KEEP CALM AND NETWORK ON.

you could go further and oil cool it while you re there lol.

of course if it s a modem given to you by your isp, request a new one.

(i guess oil isn t good for the warrenty...)

Anything I write is just a comment, take is as such, there is no guarantees associated with anything I say.

I had a similar problem so I used and old fan and usb cable to cool it down a bit. Worked like a charm with no noise.
