Title: antminer L3+ temps
Post by: copperz on November 30, 2017, 05:05:33 PM
Hello All,

Just wondering what are the Temp(PCB) and Temp(Chip) you have on your L3+?
I am trying to keep it as cool as possible but wondering if I'm being overprotective.

This is BITCOIN gear area and most here could care less about the alt Litecoin.
Ask in the altcoin areas where the alt folks hang out.
Expect mods to move your post to where it belongs.

Low to mid 60s on the chips, I haven't paid much attention to the board temps, but cooler than that.  10 degrees or so cooler?  It'll depend on ambient temps.  I've been doing this in the fall, and the temps rise on warmer days.  I'm sure people here who were operating during the summer dealt with higher temps.  The fans speed up to deal with heat, but if the intake air is hotter, there's only so much the fans can do.

FWIW, I suspect this stuff is pretty sturdy.  So long as the temps are fairly stable, it'll probably be fine.  A bigger problem than running a bit hot would be lots of big swings in temps as components heat up/cool down and wear out connections with all the expanding and contracting. Good luck :)
