Cable modem mod

[kendogg]

Now I have seen everything.. I was searching around for cable modems (motorola SB4100 to be specific) and came across this link




<< Once we had the unit opened and checked the temperature of the chips and found 2 chips reaching 135ºF - 140ºF we decided to attach heatsinks to the chips >>

lol.. I was unaware that cable modems get that hot.

All of that, and they didn't even overclock it?

yeah my entire cable modem is warm to the touch, i guess cooling really actually may help it in the long run.. something in there is running warm for the whole outer casing to feel warm... hmmm

Nifty!

LOL! Thats almost as random as the guy who put a fan in his mouse

I think they get an extra 50KBps download as a result.

Those vaporchilled cable modems are really cool.

Now all it needs is a "Type R" sticker and a wing.

Yeah, a fan in a mouse is a great idea to keep your palm from gettin' all schweaty.

Actually...that wouldn't be such a bad idea

Type R sticker would add AT LEAST 200kbps of throughput. More if you add the NAWWWWWWWS.
