nighthawk x6 r8000

I have encountered overheating of my nighthawk x6 r8000, around 130 degrees F.

I was alerted to this because of a noise.

What's happening and how do i fix this?

Buy a good quality laptop fan then . I've had a Thermaltake brand for past several years and been running 24/7. I do need to vacuum it out as it's getting a bit dusty.

buy a cheap USB fan or a laptop cooler and let it blow at it

I keep on under any router I put online. Great additional cooling.
