I wish!! Nearly no ISPs in my country allow you to bring your own modem, so I have this bridged to my own router/access point. And yet it still gets very hot to the touch which certainly throttles the CPU.
So, did some reading as I’m not familiar with what you have. You’re supposed to be an internal fan… Guessing the one in yours is possibly broke.
Since it’s the ISPs device, you could call and say you hear a loud annoying grinding sound like a fan dying (Even though it’s probably already dead) and that you want to replacement unit. And then while you have him on the phone double check their current policy on bringing your own modem and ask for a manager to double check for you ‘as you don’t want this issue to keep happening’

What is the make and model of the thing your stuck with?
That’s weird that in bridge it gets that hot. Certainly not what is expect.
It’s a technicolor something.
It’s Comcast’s standard gateway now too

It’s an XB8 which I’ve heard mixed reviews on. Haven’t found any teardowns online so far though.
