So i have recently flashed the new build for my device and everything works great but when i go into check all of the temps on the device it shows radios at 53/ 54 C but the cpu is at 90/91 c but the device is not that hott to the touch anyone else having similar issues at all with this?

Are you talking about fw 38_2? Then yes, my CPU temp is showing 95c.

Mine sits at 84C right now, with just this one laptop connected to it over 802.11ac, and my HTPC streaming music through Shoutcast. This is with stock clock (but with the upgraded DDR frequency).

Mine is in Media Bridge, doing nothing, slightly warm to the touch, currently at 91c . Previous firmwares showed it at around 85c.

Second ac68 that is set up as router, is cool to the touch and is at 71c.


The only difference I can think of, is the 5ghz band is ON on the media bridge, thus it contributes more heat. But not sure why such a big difference between the two.

Both AC68s are running FW 38_2.

Mine is usually at 82c in idle mode and around 84 or 85c when I am streaming music with some internet browsing going on. The highest I have seen is 89c when I was copying a large file over wireless along with other browsing activity.

I wonder whether the difference in the temperature between different routers have to do with the changes Asus made to the internal heat sinks in updates to the hardware after the original AC68R release. There was a thread on this somewhere. I don't remember where.
