Stop Losing Miners to Heat: Automatic Alerts and Auto-Sleep

Heat is the number-one killer of mining hardware. A blocked filter, a failed fan or a hot afternoon can push chip temperatures past safe limits — and by the time you notice, a hashboard may already be damaged. The fix is not watching a dashboard all day; it is automation.

Why temperature matters more than hashrate

A miner running a little slow costs you a little revenue. A miner running too hot costs you the machine. Most Antminers are rated for chip temperatures up to roughly 85 to 90 °C; sustained operation above that degrades chips permanently.

Set an alert rule in 30 seconds

1. Go to Alerts → New rule.
2. Trigger: Temperature above threshold, set to 85 °C.
3. Action: Auto-sleep the miner.

Now, the moment any miner crosses 85 °C, AntminerTools automatically puts it to sleep, cutting heat instantly and protecting the hashboards, and records an alert. No manual action, day or night.

Other rules worth setting

• Hashrate drops to zero → auto-restart — recover a hung miner without driving to the site.
• Miner offline — know within a minute if a unit loses power or network.
• Low hashrate — catch a degrading hashboard before it fails completely.

The math

A single hydro miner that hangs overnight silently burns a full day of revenue. A hashboard cooked by heat can cost a third of the machine. An auto-sleep rule you set once pays for the whole service many times over.
