Best power supply for Iceriver AL0 Alephium ASIC & KS0 Ultra Kaspa ASIC (3 machines on one PSU!)

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Would you try this powerful but inexpensive PSU option?

[@thecanadianpunk-miner4life]

I'm so glad i ordered 1 of these the day of this video! I'm saving it for the 3 ICERIVER RXD RX0, I ordered. I think i may have to buy 1 more just incase i grab anymore RXO's if available

[@GreaterGoodMining]

@@thecanadianpunk-miner4life nice! I'm glad you ended up giving it a shot. I really like these things 👍

[@AlteredComponent]

@GreaterGoodMining I may buy anx test this. Would love to see how much one of these runs at wall vs 3 laptop bricks

[@GreaterGoodMining]

@AlteredComponent that's a good idea, I'm not 100% sure what the efficiency is Vs a standard Iceriver laptop power supply. That would be a good test for sure

[@AlteredComponent]

This is a really good tutorial. Impressive my friend.

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Thank you very much good sir! I like these things :)

[@simmo6035]

I've done the same thing, just different brand. 1200w. Works brilliantly

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Nice! Yeah so far I'm loving these for the Ultras that I have

[@torbensloththomsen3557]

Will you share a link for that 1200W psu?

[@RainBitcoins]

I did this but I used XT60 connectors instead of regular barrel connectors. They can take more amperage but you need some solder skills...Great video brother!!

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Nice! Yeah I have only very basic soldering skills. I have resoldered caps back to circuit boards in the past amd done a lot of car audio stuff bit I havnt tried swapping out the barrel plug

[@jokerminer1]

Check spelling in the title. 2 machines ON one PSU. Good video.

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Good catch! Lol I just changed it. Thanks JokerMiner!

[@SlemanHashrate]

did dozen on this psu, so far so good!

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Nice I'm glad to hear they're working out for you!

[@20zero11]

I’m glad that worked out for you and for many more that will try it. 😊

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Great find! (I should probably buy a few more before they sell out lol)

[@20zero11]

I definitely would!

[@GreaterGoodMining]

@20zero11 it always seems to happen like that lol. Copper heat sinks are hard to find too

[@20zero11]

Yeah I stocked up on those as soon as I could 🤪

[@ModernMiningHub]

Dang may need to get this literally just had a 230w psu die today

[@GreaterGoodMining]

It's a great option even if you compare it to some of the 230 watt PSU's that can only run one at a time. Love that it can run on 240v too

[@MinedCapital]

I have one thanks to you. They’re awesome.

[@GreaterGoodMining]

@@MinedCapital I'm glad you like it! I think they're pretty sweet :]

[@fullyelectric]

@GGM thats awesome.. thats similar to another unit i posted about, also the Bitmain L3+ PSU on 120v supports up to 1,000w and on 240v 1600w they go for like $30-50 on eBay maybe cheaper now, but yeah got to have some skills to getting it going .. as for the variable adjustable regulators the one i posted about comes with the power plug built it and the DC post protected so a little more safer for a few dollars more.

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Dang I'm not sure why I didn't try those! I'll take a look back through discord. I must have seen them and forgot :( Those sound like really good options too!

[@fullyelectric]

@@GreaterGoodMining yes its been along time, i think you pin it in the fafo today thread ..

[@BernaCripto]

Awesome video bro

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Thank you I appreciate that! 🙏

[@philipperschmitt]

Greater DIY today 😍

[@GreaterGoodMining]

HaHa I love to DIY and FAFO!

[@writebhback]

Thanks for this video. I am very tempted to try this. I hate how hot these bricks get, even bricks that have way more wattage than I use.

[@GreaterGoodMining]

I like how this one has a built in fan but I bet it could also get pretty warm depending on how hard you push it etc

[@RaptorMining]

Nice Video Brother 🔥👍🏻.... I'm going to make a DIY project with this DC power supply for my Bitaxe miners, will reveal it soon 👀💪🏻

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Oh nice! Sounds like a fun video!

[@RaptorMining]

Yes it will 😉

[@cybermoss1]

Hey sir I just ordered a KS5m. I am going to use Iceriver hosting service. I hope they drop the prices more. I want atleast 5 more..lol.

[@GreaterGoodMining]

I'm hoping to add to my hashrate too. Trying to figure out the best way to do that at the moment, weighing pros and cons etc lol

[@andrewfurfaro5326]

This looks awesome. Do you know the efficiency of it?

[@GreaterGoodMining]

I've had AL0's and KS0 Ultras connected to meter boxes with stock PSU's vs the PSU in this video and the power consumption is the same

[@TechManTY.]

Couple a things, super glue would be great making that knob less error prone. The connectors that came with it are a better deal, it's electric code as well to keep the copper from having bad connection and arcing out. Also what is the power drain on this compared to stock psu? 👌

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Hey TechManTY I was thinking of just using electrical tape in the knob. That way I could still adjust the voltage if I ever use this for something else in the future. I'm not sure how the power drain on this compares to the stock PSU

[@20zero11]

I would not use the crimp connectors that come with power supply unless you have a proper crimper to make that connection. Most people will be better off just terminating directly as he did in the video.

[@TechManTY.]

@@GreaterGoodMining I was driving this weekend and an idea popped in my head (no idea why) anyway check for a silicone washer, and put it between the knob and body where it is tight...maybe give enough resistance to the knob without sticky. Just test with stuff unplugged lol

[@GreaterGoodMining]

@@TechManTY. ohh, that's a good idea. I probably have a few lying around somewhere

[@torbensloththomsen3557]

Why did i not think of this? I bought normal 230W bricks from Amazon which is more than double the price... Baah now its too late. Not adding more miners shed is a furnace and winter is coming not much solar.

[@GreaterGoodMining]

It could be good to have one of these as a backup

[@torbensloththomsen3557]

Well your right but ROI will never come if i keep buying stuff 😂. Btw i noticed the cords with 2,5 x 5,5mm are for only 180W, not much room for a "bigboy" oc, how to get past thus problem or are the cords avalable in higher wattage?

[@dumpsterfire6732]

The fafo is real... great video!

[@GreaterGoodMining]

The sad thing is, I don't even think I said FAFO once in this video... I'm slippin :( lol

[@Steamy_Dumpling]

90 Degree DC Power Pigtails Cable, Right Angle DC 5.5mm x 2.5mm is a 2.1

First 🎉

[@Stantheman-f3r]

I've been on the phone 😅

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Well done good sir!

[@GreaterGoodMining]

You're slackin Stan! Lol jkjk

[@TheSpidersoftheworld]

It's a dctodc buck converter.

[@AlteredComponent]

What is the efficiency on that thing? the laptop bricks are trashy efficiency.

[@GreaterGoodMining]

@AlteredComponent I'm not sure what the efficiency is compared to the stock Iceriver PSU's. I saw your other comment it is a great idea checking the power at the wall running 3 stock Iceriver PSU's vs power at the wall on this unit

[@ChristopherGeneva]

is this to save power?

[@GreaterGoodMining]

You can potentially save power this way especially if you run it on 240 volt. Usually more efficient that way

[@zarkov2324]

what's the max voltage you can feed into those KS0

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Iceriver website says 19-20v so that's what I stick with

[@angrybear6611]

I'd be a little concerned about the 16 AWG cable. On Amazon it says not to go over 180 watts. Do these seem to handle it okay?

[@GreaterGoodMining]

So far mine are handling it just fine pulling 180 watts. Always have to be careful overclocking. The weakest link always needs to be minded etc

[@skippy284]

That is the same PSU that I have it will handle the three stock KSU ultra but I Had one overclocked and two stock and it blowed the internal fuse the thing is the to keep your amps under 5 amps draw I replaced mine with a 8 amp but I keep it under 5 I showed some pictures on rabid mining discord #asic chat

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Yeah I would probably not recommend pushing it past 3 stock or 2 overclock units. I like leaving a good amount of wiggle room

[@skippy284]

@@GreaterGoodMining I have one overclocked pulling 230watts and one stock it was running off 110volt but I switched to to 220volt to lower the amp draw and it does great

[@GreaterGoodMining]

@skippy284 that's awesome 👌 That's what I love about these, they are very flexible!

[@piratanet123]

Thank you for all your teachings, you are one of the best crypto miners out there man

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Thank you I really appreciate it! Hope the video helps some people save some $$

[@danielelninoerrante8203]

hi bro...

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Hello sir 👋

[@askjeroen]

No I wouldn't use this psu, I don't think it has great power efficiency. I went the HP server psu with some little mod I'm able to run is on 15volt stable and very efficient

[@GreaterGoodMining]

HP server PSU's are nice too. This is just another option for people instead of the expensive laptop bricks

[@skippy284]

can I get your discord invite I can't find it

[@GreaterGoodMining]

discord.gg/cAF3t7uq try that one and see if it works
