Hot Weather issues...

Anyone else having to unplug their ASICs because of hot weather?
One of mine was reading 58c last night and the others are about 50c, I was told that at about 60c they could fail (solder melting) is this true or am I worried over nothing?

I don't know which ASIC you own, but 60C usually is within safe or acceptable operating temperature. Solder melting temperature usually is above 100C[1], so you probably worried over nothing. Although some people claim certain ASIC become less efficient at higher temperature[2].

Well I did wonder about that because the solder I use melts at about 300C (60/40) but there are low temp solders out there and I wasn`t sure.

If you want to be very sure, just mention ASIC you use and hope someone who also own it can share their experience. I don't expect any ASIC manufacture would use solder which melt at very low temperature, unless they cheap out all parts they use.

It depends on your asics.
In summer in hot weather miners reduce chip frequencies and the temperature drops.
If it's hot, you can increase the intensity of your cooling system, but it's all individual, depending on how long you have hot weather: a week, a month or half a year
