Don't forget that the ERL will cook itself to death unless you improve the cooling. The case itself will reach temps of about 40C under normal operating condit

At those temperatures (40C exterior temp at idle) cooking to death is pretty certain. Look at the complaints of glitchy ERLs as a proxy for impending death. Meanwhile it's pretty clear that the Octeon runs hot and UBNT didn't provide sufficient cooling.

      Again, I am not denying there are people who have issues what I am saying is we don't have enough data to figure what the signal/noise ratio is regarding dying devices.
