it's not that much a matter of how hot but the matter of it not functioning properly after you leave it on for long time. Conclusions is that it will have problem when the chips are too hot. Since I leave my modem on 24/7, definitely will have problems. I find that almost all modems have similar problems.

checked mine, uses a smaller sized chip which isn't that hot but still will deteriorate if uncooled which is precisely what I did

My ZTE modem already comes with 2 heat sinks. I guess the manufacturer knew about this and then added into later models. But it still is too hot. After few days it will cause problems.

I was thinking of opening the cover also but is afraid of accidently shorting or something. BTW, where did you get the power for your FAN? wire go back into casing?
