💨 Effective Cooling Solution: USB-Powered Ultra Silent Cooling Fan Radiator for RT-AX86U Router Review

Yes great design, also if you want a very clean airflow you can also change the inlet and add an extra filter e.g. B. attach a filter the size of a bottle cap to the top of it. The processor shrinks by about 8 C to 11 C when the fan is turned on.

Works well, router CPU temp dropped over 20 degrees Fahrenheit in 15 minutes. Also runs quietly. I plugged it into a USB power adapter, plugged that adapter into a tasmotized smart plug, and did an automation in Home Assistant that turns the fan on and off at 130F. Works perfectly.

So far the back of my router has diagonals in one row. Bought at the same time as the router, but with a delay. . Easy to fix. Pretty loud fan. cranked, I think it moves air. I have it at 25%, when we're playing or streaming a video I increase it to a distraction from the ambient noise. The filter element is a very fragile foam. I'm deducting a star for that alone. I think it will disintegrate very quickly and it's not strongly fixed, very little in the middle of the foam.
