I have a new Apollo. It works great for a few days then one of two things happen.
1. The fan stops completely and start smelling. I have to unplug and plug back in. Glad I?m around when that has happened because I fear it was heating up.
2. Fan speed jumps to full speed. Can?t log in to reboot. Have to unplug etc.
These happen regularly.
Glad I?ve been around in each case. Thoughts?
What mode are you running the miner in?
This is probably related to the MCU lockup issue we know about that can happen in a rare occasion. It should be fixed in the next update we are releasing soon.
I've just had number 1 happen for the first time in several weeks. Luckily happened to check on the Apollo, fan was off, very hot indeed (painful to the touch). Switched off and on again, front light wouldn't come back on (no boot?), left overnight and is fine this morning. Obviously did overheat significantly. Is this the MCU lockup?
(I'm running on Eco, everything auto, on a 200W Dell PSU brick)
