Guide: Buffalo WHR-HP-54G Fan Mod

Initially this was supposed to be a SD card mod for the Buffalo WHR-HP-54G but then after soldering the points and stuff, the SD card wasn’t detected by DD-WRT so I scrapped that plan and instead did a facelift for this router.

What you’ll need.

- A heatsink  + fan.
- Some materials to cut open the plastic housing.
- Soldering skills
- Whatever you think is needed.

First of all, crack open the case and get the hole fitted according to your heatsink. I used a Intel Celeron 533mhz cooling system for mine and I guess that is enough for this router since it can’t be overclocked. Its just to cool it down abit and perhaps, provide even better stability. My router turned scratchy after the cutting and drilling etc.. So I gave it a paint job. BLACK~ haha. Alright, get started. That’s the end of this guide. Yes. That’s it. Look at the pictures if you want to see more.
