Hah! Completely understandable decision on your part. Thanks for adding the option. I've disabled forced buffer flushing so if I run into any issues I'll report them here.

Thanks, was just concerned due to the OC. Flipping the unit over has resulted in better temps (the case is also now noticeably cool to touch) and since I'm well within thermal tolerances and having no stability issues I'm not going to bother with active cooling solutions.

Hoping someone can help me understand a default setting decision I noticed whilst tweaking the RT-AC87U running Asuswrt-Merlin 380.59: Memory Management: Regularly flush caches (default: Yes) Coming from a Linux background, I'm quite comfortable with having no memory "free" because I...
