Work temperature for RB450G

Hello.
I have RB450G as a outer for my home network. It works pretty well, but I'm affraid, that it is a bit too hot. Right now I have around 25C at home. The RB housing is around 45C. Bu the internal temperature sensor reports 102C!:

      voltage: 24.4V
  temperature: 102C

Theoretically, according to the datasheet (http://routerboard.com/RB450G), the operating temperature range is -20C to +70C, but - as I assume - it refers to air temperature. How about the hardware temperature? Is 102C not too hot? I wouldn't like to destroy the router...

Thanks... I've changed the PSU to 12V/1A, but the temperature keeps growing:

      voltage: 11.7V
  temperature: 63C

I don't like it...

By the way, I have found an older topic on this subject. I'll try to wake it up.

My RB450G sitting on a desktop switch for a bit of extra warmth -

Voltage		16.5 V
Temperature		59 C
Version		6.29

After I downclocked the CPU to 400MHz, the temperature dropped to around 92C. Then I put the router in an "almost-vertical-way", so that the warm air from inside could hover and leave the router via the holes in the housing. Now I have:
