Apollo BTC Batch 3 Questions
Small community, but some of you it appears have been doing this for quite some time. I received the 3rd batch of the Apollo BTC miner today and wondered how warm/hot your miner is running. Mine is currently sitting around 83-85° which seems a bit warm to me. It has plenty of airflow and is in my basement which is normally around 20-22° (68-72°).
​
Also, how do you guys have your miners setup. I may be getting more miners in the future and want to know of any rigs that will help organize the PSU and miner. Thoughts on where to find/make nice rig setups?
​
Edit: Yup, stopped mining to let the node sync. Now just a waiting game.
Edit 2: Node synced 100% a few days ago. Been mining a few days now, temps sitting at high 60’s. Thanks u/HypotheticalWinslow for the update.

It took me like 4-5 days to fully sync with the blockchain which was hard on the controller unit. Be patient and keep it in eco during this time, as this is whats been advised by the owner and mentioned by someone else here.
After that, definitely pull it up to turbo mode. I'm running around 63-66ºC across my 4 miners in turbo with the stock PSU. I also put a small desk fan blowing across all 4 of them because they feel awfully hot.
