Sorry for the bump but damn this is an awesome thread

I seriously have to do something to my TP-Link MR3420, that little bugger heats up so much..
I think I could manage to fit a 92mm on to it, it's size is about 10x16cm so..
I would probably steal power for the fan from inside the router.

This reminds me, the router I posted earlier in the thread I had to take the fan off because it was in the same room that I slept in, but now its been moved outside the room. Time to re-upgrade it

Well here is the current state of my router. It's just sitting there half naked.
Red circled heatsink is stock and the green circled I put there myself. Numbering indicates what is hottest, the main chip is really hot, then on the left most is the wifi chip (afaik) and then on the right side is some ram chip under the two sinks. Those two are the second hottest, then there is the second from left chip, I have no idea what it is but I suspect it could be related to lan.
I cannot understand why TP-link decided to save couple of dollars and leave those three chips naked..
That black sink is thermal glued there, I am going to try if I could break it loose without damaging the actual chip. If I manage to get it loose I'll show my dremel to a socket 1155 stock cooler and slap that on there lol. If not then I'll just make a hole to the cover and slap a 92mm fan there.
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

P.S. If I bother and have time I might change the thermal tape of those alu sinks to some MX-2

Oh My God...I will be joining this club this week!

I have my Thompson Cable modem, a Netgear WNDR3200 (DD-WRT) and some netgear junk wireless router. I also run an Untangle firewall, but that doesn't count evidently. I'm going to mount a fan to something tonight!

If you want to join post in the thread with a pic of your modded out modem/router, and the type of modem/router you have. You will be added within 7 days to the list below.

*Please DO NOT post a mod that is not yours!

*Please DO NOT post an untangle router (sorry DuckieHo)

I call bias.

How does a actively cooled custom router not qualify?

The OP even mentions boring routers... your off-the-shelf routers are just boring Linux machines.

I'm with duckie here, I run this beautiful raid 1, dual xeon, ecc ram router with a glorious 6 gigE ports (the unit taking up 8&9 from the top):

I mean how many people on here have redundant PSUs on their router?

Original mod...60mm fan.

Broke one of the fins off the fan, so upgraded to a quieter 80mm fan.

My Thomson Cable modem. Here is the build log thread.

x2 on this. With the modem sitting on my desk and having visitors all the time, better safe than sorry. That fan is one of the stock 80mm fans from the Norco RPC-4224, and is pretty strong. No heat at all anywhere on my modem either. Been running for a week straight so far.
