No dismantling mute cooling transformation

After brushing the firmware and looking at the 70° router, I usually feel that the router is hot. The first time I found the temperature was so high (OCD is not calm). Looking for solutions on the Internet, we found that there are basically three options:

1 open cover type


2 external fan type

3 under the notebook cooling fan

It seems that the above scenario first destroys the appearance of the router, and the second affects the appearance of the router. The third type of notebook heatsink takes up too much space on the desktop.

Plan determination

The initial development plan determines three general requirements: 1 The operation is simple and the accessories are cheap. 2 does not destroy the overall excuse of the router does not affect the appearance of the router. 3 The heat sink has a simple structure and a small footprint. 4 quiet, long service life.

Looking for the little things in the family, I found a feasible solution as follows:

1 hard small cardboard box, I chose a wiring board packaging


2 USB electronic product charge line

3 12CM chassis fan one, I chose Qiao Sibo chassis fan, noise control is very good, mainly one year warranty, the same price of other brands of fans is not a month warranty or three months (elimination)

JONSBO 12020 12CM chassis fan (20MM thin thickness / motherboard 3PI interface + power D port interface / mute) 19.9 yuan Jingdong direct link

Hands-on production

1 The cartons have been folded perfectly, only need to remove the cover and can be used directly, of course, also need to dig two vent holes in the 2 side so that the air flow can effectively cycle, of course, for the sake of beauty, it is recommended to use a ruler to design a good, and then Form a knife with a sharp blade.

2 Connect the USB cable and chassis fan, remove the end of the USB cable, expose the 4 cable ends, find a red line and a black cable, the other 2 cuts are not used, and the chassis fan has a 3PIN excuse and a 4PIN excuse. It can be seen that there are exactly 2 holes in the 4PIN connection to the red and black lines of the USB.

3 The red and black lines are respectively inserted into the 2 holes of the 4PIN interface, and taped and fixed.

4 Attach the attached fan to the paper tray. The fan has 4 screws for just use. This step mainly pays attention to the fan's wind direction. My own installation is to inhale from the router. After installation, the temperature drops from 70 directly to 50. Another method of blowing may be reduced to a lower level, but there may be more dust entering the router. You value your friends to weigh the pros and cons.

5 After all the installation is complete, put the router on the paper tray, and pull the USB head out of the rear vent into the USB 2.0 port on the back of the router. Normal operation will take place and the temperature of the router will fall.

Last molding

to sum up

Router: 1 AC66U B1 has strong performance, and TV, PAD, mobile phone, and computer have multiple client access stability.

2 Extensive performance, easy brushing, and practicality of plug-ins available.

3 1900M bandwidth, Gigabit ports meet daily needs.

Self-made cooling base: 1 router dismantling, plug in first, easy to make.

2 The low cost requires only a 19.9 chassis fan (JD East warranty for one year), a discarded USB charging cable, and a discarded cardboard box.

3 The battle area is small, quiet and low power consumption. After being idle, the chassis fans can be used without damage.

Although the performance of the AC66U B1 is similar to that of the AC68U, I heard that some aspects of the AC66U and the AC68U have shrunk compared to the AC65U. Finally, of course, it is hoped that the price will be able to do more with the people, and the heat dissipation performance will be stronger. Of course, AC66U B1 can still meet the needs of ordinary families at this stage and it is worth recommending.
