Heat issues with the 66U

[Chippy_boy]

If I'm reading this page correctly I'm seeing 130 F or 55 C as a fairly constant temperature reading. You need to let it "run" for a couple of minutes.

How does that compare with everyone else?

54C pretty constant. Of course the delta between your room temp and the device temp is what dissipates the heat. i.e. if my room was 6C higher, it would be 60C.

52-54 is what mine runs at , seems constant ,no big ups or downs . That would seem to be in the safe zone , no ? Any idea what the max temp these chips can take , and last ?

Check out this little missing page on your routers. I assume this is vestigial code from their v1 fan based board. Thought this is interesting.
http://<YOUR ROUTER IP>/Advanced_PerformanceTuning_Content.asp

or if default

http://192.168.1.1/Advanced_PerformanceTuning_Content.asp

Mine seems to be running at about 53 degrees C or so.
I felt the unit last week and it was boiling. I turned it off and back on and the temperature dropped dramatically (too bad I did not know about this page then; it would have been interesting to see what it was running at).

It will be interesting to see how it holds up this summer...
Fingers crossed!

Also using .116 and it is showing approximately 54C. First time it took about 8 seconds for the reading to show on the graph. I also had to log in to get it to work.

Not sure. My graph remains blank even after a few minutes.

Mine runs about 54C. On .108 firmware

Mine's at 54-55C, running on .246-19b firmware. Router is sitting flat on the floor (not on stand). That's with just one client connected, if that matters.

no temp reading on 252 , no choices on left , just shows graph , and at bottom bands chioce in readinfg c or f and tx .

That page isn't maintained by Asus anymore - it's a leftover page from the pre-B1 prototypes back when they had a cooling fan. If you want to read your router's temperature, you will have to do it over telnet.

wl -i eth1 phy_tempsense
wl -i eth2 phy_tempsense

These are for each radio. Take the returned value, divide by 2, then add 20. Results are in Celcius.
