If I win the lottery and find a block, will my miner interface tell me? Or do I just need to monitor my wallet?

Looking for transactions:
I sent a test transaction to my address. If I want to see how long it takes to show up on my node, is there a tool built into the Apollo II setup? Or do I need to use another resource to search the data in my node?

Temperatures:
What are the safe temps for the miner? I was 67C for Eco mode, now I'm at 71 - 73 for Balanced mode. Before I try out turbo mode, I'd like to know at what temperature I need to throttle it back?

Rejected Shares:
I understand that occasional rejected shares are to be expected. However, I am curious at what point does someone become concerned about them? Over three days I have 17,000 rejected shares, and 205,000,000 accepted shares. My percent of rejected shares is extremely low, so this is more of a curiosity.

Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you. I am fully syncing and have 30-32 connections.  So I assume whatever my Eero router blocked is not hurting anything.

Thanks for letting me know. By chance, speaking of the initial boot up, my router flagged two malware activities (categorized as phishing/deception) as soon as I connect to the network. By chance would you know if these are false negatives? I can’t get any detail out of the ISP router, and my pfsense router won’t be online for a few weeks. See attached.

Issue: 10/32 Connections

Sorry for asking about this, but I'm not finding an answer within the forum. I've set up my Apollo II and it is performing the initial sync. I have opened up port 8333, and validated using an external connection the port is open. I am still only showing 10/32 connections on a solid gigabit ISP. Is there anything I can do to increase the connections? I'm connected using wired ethernet.

Thank you for your time.

My Gekko is not allowing 5V to come through its connector. 
 

• Using a multi meter I've learned how to dial in the VCore voltage.
   
• Using a USB meter, I've learned regardless if I’m using my powered hub, direct connection USB 3.0 ports or direct connection USB 2.0 ports, the Gekko is only flowing 4.6 - 4.85V instead of 5V.
   
• The under volting is causing it to draw more amps to do the same work.
   
• Regardless if I set the vcore to 1.4 or 1.46, when I set the frequency to 250, the amp draw hits 2.5A, and either the USB system or the computer shuts it down.
   

All the tables in the PDF guide calculate to a consistent 5V.  So unless there is a way for the Gekko to pull 5V, there’s no way to clock the frequency above 225, nor turn up the vcore voltages to hit higher frequencies.  And, at lower frequencies, it’s running hotter because it has to work harder to pull the load it needs. 

Do you have any suggestions to adjust the Gekko so it will flow a proper 5V?  I’ve checked this against my USB other devices.  The USB meter is spot-on.
 

I've setup a couple of solo miners for Coin Magi.  As I'm watching my console screens go through the motions, how will I know if I'm making progress, or won a reward?

Miner: CPU Miner - Coin Magi GUI
Pool: m-hash
Wallet: Coin Magi

When I input my API key from m-hash, CPU Miner - Coin Magi GUI tells me "Couldn't update mining pool data".  How do I enter the correct API to allow for updates?  Do I need to allow different settings?

Thanks for your help.
