Do you use fans on your router/modem?

Cause i saw some lazada on router has x number fans.

I just put my modem and router on top of laptop cooler pad without turnon. Avoid the heat stuck under the table. Scare fire.

Nope

router can be overclocked ka

why tho?

maybe only high end router has it

Touch my table felt exterme panas so i just left it on the unused laptop pad.

no

Some router will generate quite a lot of heat. So having fans will alleviate the issue. Also helps to maintain reliability & stability.

When i try to wipe the desk, felt the a extreme heat spot under the router n modem. So just put 1 no use cm cooling laptop pad under it.

i left it on top of the router box but got ceiling fan blowing on it la

It depends on the place you put the router modem. If the place has dead air, no air flow, such as if you fart there, the smell will still be there for a few days, put some fan there. Such places are top of staircase. The heat will build up over time.
Especially with cheap equipments.

No, just put separate with BTU, not stack it

Kinda next to the wall afternoon sure got direct sunlight hit the wall.

I didnt stack them, i just leave it side by side on the laptop cooling pad.

I placed a fan to cool the SFP+ modules, otherwise they would be >75 degree Celsius at the same time cool the other stuffs like TB3 nvme drive and the mini server

You diy the wood job?
Looks good man.

Didn’t put any cooler fan for my Asus RT-AX3000, it’s already placed on a well ventilated space. Been using it for 4-5 months 24/7 only reboot if there is a firmware update(like once a month) or power outage(which is rare)

No issue on performance
