Default USR 9108 ROUTER heatshink mod
I have the the USR9108 a friend gave to me,and it was constantly disconnecting, only to reconnect after a restart every3-4 hours of gaming,torrents etc...
So i came up with an idea about cooling it down a bit cos the cover got really hot!!!
I had a spare DFI X48 heatsink lying around so i cut the routers cover a bit and i fitted the cooler in with sOme AKASA thermal pad.And voila!!!
I know its not so neat in the moment but painting and some mesh is programmed in the near future!
I have to say that it hasnt restarted for 7 hours now after some serious cod4 action so i think the mod did the trick!!!
Any recomendations gladly accepted!

Thanks pal!
I was thinking about puting the fins on the heatpipe but unfortunately the are used on my mobo!!!
The heatsink and the heatpipe get really hot though so i think the hole thing works as it should!

EDIT:New pics of the openings extended and some mesh being put there will arrive soon!
