Thermal Probes

my internet modem keeps breaking- any ideas?

My home internet is provided by SBC Yahoo!, its a DSL line at 3 Mbps down with 512kbps up.
I frequently download large files, in the past the modem kept breaking down until I limited the download speed to 90 KB/sec. I believe the chips inside the modem kept getting too hot and it would shut itself down to protect itself?
My guess proved right when I opened up the modem and measured the temp of large each chip with a infrared probe. I added a big northbridge heatsink (Thermaltake Key 3 Spirit) to the hottest chip and a smaller passive heatsink to the next hottest component. Now I can download up to 180 KB/sec, which is still less than the full 300 KB/sec or 3mbps.
I’m wondering does anyone else experience this problem, and what should I do from here? I already have the highest thermal capacity heatsinks on the modem, without spending more than a few bucks or really going out of my way what can I do to get that full 300 KB/sec download speed from my ISP?

if it’s really a heating problem and u dont want to spend any money then use a external fan for modem, table fan will do it.
