Great hub! How to extend its lifespan!

Having to move to a dual monitor setup, I needed this awesome dual HDMI hub. With 1 USB-C cable I can now power my entire "Megadesk" with 2 monitors, a power supply and all my peripherals. This hub does exactly what it was designed to do. This is what you need to know about USB hubs of this type: They usually don't last long when used for a long time due to the high heat generated. These devices can carry up to 100W of power in addition to the onboard ICs and USB controllers. The only way to cool them is through a metal case, which isn't very efficient. To extend the life of your hub, it's worth spending a few bucks on a 40 x 40 x 11mm heatsink. 3 of these radiators cover the entire device and ensure its cooling. Please see my photos of the hub before and after installing the radiators! Overall, this hub comes highly recommended. Just make sure you protect your investment with a cooling solution.
