Why do these motherfuckers get so damn HOT?

yea some modems get fucking hot enough to cook an egg anon i know what ur saying

Because they have a small chip that runs around 5-10W with no active cooling.

I taped a computer fan to mine because it kept fucking itself when it got too hot. I didn't really have to pay anything for them, but going to the Comcast store got annoying after a while

sit an old heatsink on the chip

electrolitic caps

seems pretty legit desu

Lowest bidder ARM SoCs passively cooled that run at 100% all day.

internet is pretty fast and so when it passes through it it needs to slow down so the router passes it around in a circle with high amounts of friction and that creates heat and slows it down so you can access data at a speed your ethernet cable can read since coax speeds are much higher

shut the fuck up namefag

what the fuck are you on about

>>56928132
literally what

>>56927682
check the buffer size, too small/large of a chunk can cause the CPU to work harder which will make it overheat.

>>56927682
because you touch yourself at night

fans are cheap though, why don't they just build one in?

>>56928535
I had no faith in them but I am still disappointed.

it was only after fully grasping the helical-thermal properties of the rotational vectors involved in high velocity data transference that I was able to develop proper thermal flux inhibitors capable of slowing down the electrons to acceptable levels, thus mitigating thermo-velociraptic runaway associated with gyro-phellactic inductive resonance typical of semiconductors.

can you imagine what would happen if this condition were allowed to continue? bedlam, that's what! let's not forget that, it was a similar resonance cascade that destroyed Black Mesa.

Your router is just a little computer of its own with passive cooling.

If it bothers you put a fan on it. Won't make a damn bit of difference tho

>>56927682
Mine used to overheat every half hour back in the day even with fans blowing on it. Even ice packs barely helped.

>he doesn't remove his router from the stock case and mount it in a 12-fan HAF tower with a NOCTURA cooler custom mounted on the cpu
stay pleb OP, my router is always cool
