El Nino is particularly hot in the summer, just want to hide in the air-conditioned room to avoid the heat. Hidden in the room while eating ice cream, while brushing the phone while watching the video, that is how happy boundless ah! Hahaha! Computer phones are all in the air-conditioned room, enjoying the breeze of the bursts. It's just that the routers that work in support of all network activities have worked hard.
The working environment of the router is generally not very good (the router with a good working environment does not need to read the ...), the basic is that the network is connected, the power is connected, and then the closest to find a hidden/open corner, Working silently, I kept silent for thousands of years. I was not only enjoying the breezy air conditioning inside the air-conditioned room, but also some of them needed to be placed in a messy, low-impact weak box. Nowadays, the functions of routers are becoming more and more powerful, supporting various networks, multi-frequency, ultra-fast, home entertainment network centers, network file systems, and some can also support PT, BT, aria, Thunder and other downloads. The effect of adding various functions is that the performance required by the router is greatly increased, resulting in a significant increase in energy consumption, which leads to a substantial increase in the amount of heat that is distributed. I use the AC66U, and I didn't use any special feature. I inserted a hard disk to share the files and placed it on the top of the bookcase. Personally, I think ventilation should not be a problem. But this is still the way to omelette on the panel... Open the system page and see the temperature is almost 60.
Originally, I feel that since designers should consider the issue of heat dissipation, hotspots should be hot, there should be no major impact, but family members have always reacted to the special network cards at home, and the response has been particularly slow, seriously affecting the joy of playing in air-conditioned rooms. Of course, this is indeed a very subjective feeling, and not necessarily a problem lies in the cooling, anyway this must be resolved.
In the search for Auntie, there are many solutions for routing heat, such as the following powerful solutions:
or
with
In other forums, there are more powerful solutions for routers to change heat. I am an adoration of these big gods, but the problem with these powerful solutions is that they require a relatively strong hands-on capability and may need to be opened. The router itself has caused the problem of invalidation of the warranty. In view of my hands-on ability, I can only sigh. And in the horse owner's home stroll around and found that either the custom model of the router radiator, the price is high, or is a general-purpose routing cooling rack ... ... 80s glass coffee table like style too much to accept.
Before the temporary solution is to use such a small USB fan blowing against the router.
The advantages are: simple, plug and play. The temperature did fall down. Disadvantages: Noisy, unattractive, and long-term blows to consider the problem of accumulated dust.
In my heart, since adding a fan is so effective, it is better to add a small fan directly to the router to get out of the air. Perhaps it can achieve results.
Solution: Install USB fan cooling on the back of the router.
What is envisaged in my mind is this (picture borrowed online)
material:
USB interface cooling fan two --- Taobao (8cm, because the estimated AC66U backplane is about 21cm, can only accommodate 2 8cm fan)
3m double-sided adhesive tape---Stand at home (fixed, other methods are also possible, give full play to your imagination)
Program implementation:
Note that if the AC66u is placed upright, only one fan is needed. Don't ask me how to know. As for the size, please measure it clearly before buying.
As can be seen in the figure, there is only one usb fan in the position to buy a usb fan in vain.
The installation is very simple, affix 3m double-sided adhesive tape on the four corners of the fan, and then align the place to be heat-dissipated.
After the installation, I basically don't see anything
Behind the wall, the side of the view is also simple.
Check the effect: (room temperature 30 degrees)
Before
After
A drop of 7 degrees. The key is that the surface is warm when it touches it now, no longer frying eggs. Another subjective feeling: the network reaction seems to be fast, playing video is no longer card (may be a powerful psychological effect hahaha effect).
Noise: There is no professional equipment to measure, but on the top of the bookcase, the sound is inaudible.
end.
