Title: BFL 50 Temp
Post by: AJinNYC on November 06, 2014, 11:38:53 PM
Looking to know what the normal operating temp should be on a BFL50? Right now its pushing 84 degrees Fahrenheit. Normal or high?

If that is Fahrenheit then that's 29 degrees Celsius. It's been a while, but if I remember correct my Singles were doing more like 64 degrees Celsius, so I would say: that's low.

Yep, still living at home. Grandparents pay for electricity. I used to have two desktops in my room, put one of them away, electricity use-wise, they shouldn't notice a difference.

Thanks for the input.

I was actually wrong, it running 85 degrees Celsius. I thought the temp in MultiMiner was Fahrenheit. So based on that, a little hot then?

Yes that is a little hot for them...my Singles used to run around 60 Celsius. I know when they were cooler they ran faster too!

Do you think removing the case would make a difference?

Why not just ask them for a couple bucks a month, and then buy Bitcoin? You'd end up with more.
