[pfSense] [SOT] apu1c4/apu1d4 stability
hi all, in an earlier thread, i recounted issues that i had with the apu1c4 unit silently dying -- this was the only thread that i saw here, so i assume that i just got a bad unit. can anyone confirm a small deployment of 20 of these without issue? i am currently getting ready to do a proposal and i need to reassured. thanks m ___ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list

I cannot give you a sample of 20 - they're too new for that - but I can say of the dozen or so we've used thusfar we've had no failures reported. They do run noticeably warmer to the touch than the previous ALIX boards, and as others have posted here, it's important to attach the heat spreader correctly and ensure it has good contact with the chassis. So if your install environment is particularly warm, or particularly poorly ventilated, then you might want to consider an alternative. All of ours are installed in reasonably well-ventilated 19 cabs.
