Hello All (@jstefanop)
     New to bitcoin mining as of last Friday when my new FutureBit Apollo BTC (from batch 4) was delivered. I managed to follow the instructions well enough and I now have the full node up and running (with the outbound 8888 port enabled on my router). The concern I have after watching this thing run for a week has to do with the occasional high hardware error % readings (I'm talking upwards of 50% at times). I haven't found where others have reported this issue in these threads. I assumed these high hardware error % readings would go away once the full node finished downloading (even though I did leave the Apollo BTC in ECO mode that whole time for the first few days). I was wrong about that. I then determined that there must be too much heat because the fan never seems to kick into high gear unless I completely shutdown the miner. I've tried elevating the miner up off of the table a little to allow for better ventilation under the device. That did help to keep the temps down.

The errors seem to go away (for a while) if I shutdown the device and let the fan cool everything back down, but my temps are in acceptable range really (no higher than ~62 degrees C). Nothing I've tried seems to keep the hardware error % in an acceptable range for very long.

What are some other troubleshooting ideas I should consider trying? I should add that these hardware errors do seem to resolve themselves eventually and it will go back to <1% hardware errors if I let it keep running long enough. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? I'd hate to allow a problem to persist for too long if it shortens the lifespan of this device in any way.

Any help would be appreciated,
Bob
