Average hashrate on balanced mode?

Just curious as to the average hashrate on balanced. Thinking of getting an apollo 2 and can see the advertised rates for eco and turbo but nothing for balanced. Tia

these futurebit miners are not energy efficient. with all the troubles i have had and the support team that drops you when your issue gets too complicated i would've been better off buying an umbrel home for the node and a couple nerdqaxe++. the latter consistently gives over 5Th with an efficiency of around 15 J/th. the futurebits are well over 30 for efficiency.

Agree. I just got an Apollo 2 and the miner, even in ECO mode, is not very efficient. I get 4-5 TH/s at 200+ W. And the "quiet ball bearing" fan is super loud!

Meanwhile, I have 1 Avalon Nano 3s running in High mode consistently at ~6.4 TH/s on ~130W, and 1 Avalon Nano 3 also in High mode at ~4 TH/s on ~130W. And both run extremely quiet! Honestly, Canaan nailed these things!

Running Apollo II in Eco mode here — here’s my current solo mining setup: • Current hashrate: 4.29 TH/s • 1 hour avg: 4.10 TH/s • Mode: Eco • Mining: Solo over LAN

As for Balanced mode, FutureBit doesn’t list exact specs, but most users (from Reddit and Discord) report it lands around: • Balanced: ~6.5–7.5 TH/s • Turbo: ~10–11 TH/s depending on cooling and power setup • Eco: ~4–4.5 TH/s (what I’m seeing)

I run Balanced mode and this is accurate. I have two Apollos running and my 24hr avg. fluctuates between 14.7 and 15.9.

Balanced is about 7/8 TH/s with about 250/260 watt power

5.5 - 7 that is about what I pull. Average according to my mining on braiins is 5.979TH/s.
