      @serbus - So yesterday I placed the SG-3100 upside down, so that the vents were facing upwards, and the white lid down, with 3mm tall rubber feet to create an ambient. Same fan as before sucking the air away from the vents on the SG-3100. And left it for a day to settle down.

      Results: There's no difference in the temps reported by the SG-3100 when upside down with the same fan in the same place, sucking air away from the unit. It's still around 49C any time I look at it. And then when I run a speedtest over ethernet (~650Mbps) the temp peaks at 57C and appears to normalise around 54C.

        @pmk_mck take the case off and let it run with a fan blowing on it, i mean..if you're blowing air in the dust is there anyways. Just dont want to electrocute or short anything during the test. I can do the same if you want to know the result.
