As a bit of advice to anyone thinking of doing this project:

Most consumer networking equipment "fails" (crashes/reboots/drops packets, etc) not because of temperature, but because consumer-grade switches, routers, and modems don't have anywhere near the amount of memory needed to handle heavy loads of hundreds or thousands of connections (for example - bittorrent).

Still, if your modem or router or switch is crapping out and it's due to temp issues - then active cooling is a good idea

I had that modem, it runs perfect even in my un-airconditioned attic without any special cooling. Bring it back and get a new one.

That's a creative but silly solution... it's defective, replace it.

Just do what I did, get some old cell phone charger and hook it up to a fan.
Take the cover off of the router and have the fan blow across it!

Overclocking your computer has a point. Overclocking your modem doesn't.
