Water-cooled router

Okay, maybe I lied. There’s a fine reason for enhancing your router’s cooling. If you slap the DD-WRT firmware on your router and overclock its processor, you can seriously amplify your wireless signal.

That’s helpful if you have dead spots in your house, and there’s an entire “Actively Cooled Modem/Router Club” thread dedicated to the subject on Overclock.net…which includes weesteev’s wonderful creation.
When another user complained that chilling down a router with liquid wouldn’t actually improve throughput, weesteev responded like a true enthusiast: “Haha since when was that a reason not to water cool it!!” Then he revealed his entry, a custom water-cooled DLink 615.

Here’s a look at the innards of weesteev’s liquid-cooled router. He mounted the waterblock using Sekisui thermal tape. Bravo, sir.
