I am using Huawei K4505 ( 28.8Mbps ) card. I have downloaded with download manager, at a consistent speed of 3.5Mbps, for a duration of 2 Hours. The card's temperature started from 42*C and reached 63*C at 47th minute.

After 47 minutes, the heat never increased above 63*C. No disconnection also noticed due to heat, till the 2 Hours testing.

The card’s ( approximate ) maximum permissible temp. is 76*C.

Getting different levels of heat, between different capacity cards, is not an issue. It should be tolerable and within the permitted level. Naturally high capacity cards will tend to consume more power and generate more heat.

It should not hang or disconnect due to heat !

Another, ever repeated, suggestion is, high capacity cards will always, behave / handle well with lower loads of data transfers. :)
 
How to check temperature of 3G USB data card ?

You need a Digital Multimeter.

Locate the maximum heat generating area of your card by gripping with your palm. In that place measure the temperature with the special probe supplied with the Digital Multi Meter.

More heated area will differ from card to card.

My card and the tested area....Huawei K4505 28.8Mbps ......

Thanks.
By the way how much does this thing cost and what are the other uses of this multimeter ?

Sorry for going slightly out of topic.
 
u can buy mutimeter as much as in Rs150 to beyond 1K anyway , do not waste money on 21mbps modem , better stick to 7.2 or 3 mbps
 
This model costs Rs.1250 in Chennai. There are more costlier models are there. Temperature measurement is available in above 1kK models only.

This DMM is used by Electronics Service Engineers ( like me ).

anyway , do not waste money on 21mbps modem , better stick to 7.2 or 3 mbps

Kindly refer my above post # 115. Casual users may opt for any model. Heavy users may opt for high end models.
