[SOLVED] router cooling

[manolis kokotsakis]

Is it necessary or helpful, to add a cooling fan over my router ? I touch it and i feel is getting really hot ?

No it is not.

Well, maybe. If it were in an uninsulated metal wall and roof shed, in full sunlight, in the Arizona desert.

Nice answer.

Thanks.

How hot is 'hot' in this instance? Most semiconductors will be perfectly fine at least up to 80C and the hottest router I have owned maxed out around 60C SoC temperature.
