A question, actually - Hive reports the boards as running at about 60 deg C. Is this an acceptable temperature?
Hmm, different chips/boards have different thermal limitations and i don't use L3+.
For that, refer to the ASIC's chip specs:
https://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020082374-L3-SpecificationsBased from the above, if it's referring to the chip's temp, it's still in safe range. (
up to 90°C)

They’re very calmly generating a quiet hum under my bed now 24/7.
I’m using an ATX PSU for one of them, yes. So far no issues - that unit has a dead board and is drawing less power anyway.
It's quite a good location to reduce sound, as long as there's no floor below yours.
Areas above will notice very low noise while floors/area below will somewhat hear amplified noise (
if there's not enough flooring on the floor above).
I hope the dead board can compensate for using an ATX PSU.
This is what I'm trying to warn you:
Back in the days i also tried that with an normal ATX PSU and burned it after some time.
