Agree on the pools - I was just being lazy in setting these up last night in a hurry. I typically have 2 different pools list for most of my machines. I seldom bother with a third.

And on the orientation of the miners, I hadn't seen a direct recommendation of vertical or flat but now that I have these machines, I planned to rearrange my shelving to allow vertical because it will let me fit the machines better in my hot box. But good info on the heat flow, I'll pay attention when I rearrange them to see what the temps do.
