Now that I have done the Arctic Silver mod to my v2.0 wifi module, should I see improved wifi performance? Longer distance, 640x40 30fps no problem? Or have I only safeguarded myself from overheating and frying my wifi module because of excessive component heating.
I havent had a chance to test it.
Since I am the one that found this issue and tested it with various conditions I would have to say yes.
Heat degradation begins to effect the components not properly heat sinked the moment you power it up and it exceeds its tolerance. In some cases the wifi module would begin to cut out within 30 seconds of operation. Now properly heatsinked there is no "nearly immediate" degradation. In this case you can see a huge gain in distance.
In theory the final output mosfets begin to overheat when the impedance changes from the components no longer oscillating properly. In any case keeping them cooler lowers their internal resistance and causes them to work more efficiently giving you more range. This is of benefit nearly immediately and in all cases, overheating or not.
Is the forum full of Noobs..... that think they know everything and can bash people? Where is the ban hammer and warnings at
