I moved from S9 mods to FutureBit Apollo v2s. Much happier with the noise, heat, and electricity bill factor. I’ll probably never see a profit or payoff but it’s mostly ideological at this point.

2/3 hashboards heavily under-clocked (and still auto tuning) but currently putting out about 4-5TH. That’s ok for lotto mining hashrates but the 450w power draw is no bueno…

I’m super keen on the Apollo’s. Do you have the new one that gives you your own solo pool? I bought the s9 just to learn about mining a few years ago but it’s been in my closet collecting dust for a long time now. Was actually pretty amazed that the old tank just fired right back up and immediately started hashing with all my old settings ha.
Yup I have the Apollo 2 which has its own solo pool and a way nicer UI than my screen shot (kinda an experiment for fun, running the raw CKPool compiled from source).
Highly recommend the full Apollo 2 experience compared to running S9s in your main living area, which I also did at one point.
