I couldn't get to it coz these days i'm busy with my exam work<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" />However i tried out by opening the plastic cover of the modem and i rigged a big 120mm fan over it. That cooled down the chip quite a lot and i can use it now lengthened periods of time without getting my PC crashed.But....this is not a permanent solution. I've been wondering we can do the same thing we do for our processors here as well...we could apply thermal paste on the chip and fix up a fan and a heatsink (an old 486 processor heatsink and fan would do i think). Only probel is getting the power supply whichll have to be external plus you'll have to keep the modem PCB open. But i guess a new plastic casing would be possible too. I'm thinking of trying it out in my hols.PS-i've also tried out a new method...i won't describe it. Just see for yourselves.
