Re: GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread

Hi, I have mine running at 250, I have a Temp probe in between
the board and heatsync currently its at 54.8 Celsius is this a good temp?
What temps should it run at?

Are you keeping it in the freezer?

I know that you are joking, but 55C is burning hot...not F
my rule for compacs/2pacs is: if i can touch the metal with a finger for a few seconds without feeling a burn, than it is OK.
...I had students getting blisters when they "tried" a 72C water bath with their fingers thinking that it is roughly at a room temp..

Doesn't apply to the 2pacs so much, but I had block erupter USBs running just fine for a few years and they're also blisteringly hot, yet they don't seem to suffer any damage. It's sometimes okay if the miner is a little hot but make sure you have a fan on your miners going above 200.
