The temperatures are low because the Apollo sits on 2 big fans, the reason for that is overheating, especially in turbo mode. So low temps are because of that not because of the board. The issue is that somehow the miner resets to the slushpool with usename Topminer1 which is not even the default one with username Futurebit so something is fishy, it is interesting we are not getting a reply from the manufacturer....someone left a backdoor and is playing with us newbies ...Sad( Angry

I feel the same way, I've reflashed, made sure the SSD is seated well, used a USB cable to see if the hashboard was bad absolutely nothing wrong with it, temps are in a great range - I even went as far as putting it in ECO mode... after about an hour I get the notification that my miner was disconnected, log back into the dashboard to see the pool settings are once again changed..

What's odd, is it's completely random times when this happens, the first 7 days were flawless mining and then randomly on the 8th day it started changing the pool settings - again sometimes it'll be hours, then sometimes I have to sit there and change the pool settings 5 times within an hour - reboot - let the node start - start miner (sometimes have to click start 5-10 times before it'll become active to where the dashboard pops up) start hashing and then be fine and connected to my pool for 10+ hours..

Makes absolutely no sense other than a back door or something.
I have the same behavior but mine never worked for more than a day....I have locked the pool config file to see what happens....I'll get back

let me know if this is working for you  and if so give a description of how you went about it please.  thanks!

Will do.

update on my end.    i thought i had it figured out.   but i woke up this morning and was wrong.....   so i reflashed, setup a totally different vlan than it was on, added it on a totally different wifi network instead of the same ether connection it was on before, setup the pool and password on startup, clicked on settings and users and changed the main password to one that is different from default and different than my dashboard login, fired it up, working great, temps around 45 and 62, ran great for 5-8 hours, woke up, changed back to slushpool and topminer01.........(i have tried using multiple pools, keeps reverting back to topminer01 on slushpool)    is there something i'm missing?  is there a different system password that someone could be accessing to get into it and change everything?  i'm at a loss at this point.....
