Review on πŸŒ€ 7CM Adjustable Speed Ultra Silent Cooling Fan for RT-AX86U Router - Dustproof & Temperature Reduction by Elizabeth Nelson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

RT-AX86U + Poorly ventilated room with no air conditioning? Then you should definitely buy this device!

If you have an RT-AX86U and it's in an area without good ventilation or air conditioning like mine, I would definitely recommend buying this product. Thanks to the placement of the ventilation on the back of the RT-AX86U, these fans are aimed at the Wi-Fi chips, since the area where the CPU is located is behind the solid area where the serial number label is located. However, along with the Wi-Fi chips, the CPU gets cooler. I understand there's some debate about CPUs being able to handle a lot of heat, but the difference of over 40 degrees Fahrenheit is huge and will likely go a long way in extending lifespan. a device for nearly $300 after taxes, especially since most of us use the router non-stop until it dies or we update it. If dust is a problem, find a dust filter with adhesive and place it in front of the fan in the router). My area has been over 80 degrees Fahrenheit for the past few weeks and the room where the router is located is at its hottest around 6pm. Below are examples of CPU temperatures at the time, guess when I installed the fans ;) 60 - 1397/14/2021 - 65 - 1487/15/2021 - 64 - 148

Pros
  • Fans & Cooling
Cons
  • Big and chunky
