Good stuff. I had a 3dprinted fan module for each of my 4 KS0 PROs using 3000 RPM fans. With the 340GH overclocks I'm sticking under 30C at night and 50C at day. I live in Idaho, so its 15 degrees outside. lol I do NOT miss the Sacramento heat nor do I miss California electric rates!

[@DontMindMeMining]

Thanks, haha it’s cold now here as well we have 35-40F nights and 50F days summer will kill 340G for me but with auto tune right now I have 40-42C temp1. I would worry about too big of the difference but 30-50C is fine more than 35C difference a day I think would create a lot of movement on the paste I think that would shorten the life of the thermal paste/pads.

[@1986rauda]

Bro, thanks for the idea 💡 very useful video

[@DontMindMeMining]

Glad you liked it

[@mikeallensonntag]

Man you have alot of handy mining tools with flir cam, wind sensor etc. Nice r&d.

[@DontMindMeMining]

Thanks 👍

[@achsanzo1913]

Nice idea bro

[@DontMindMeMining]

Thank you.

[@cybermoss1]

My only problem I have is you need to make it out of metal. ChumpChange had a KSO pro catch fire. If you have a fire well you have giving the fire plenty of fuel to not only burn up your setup, But also your house.

[@DontMindMeMining]

yeah i saw that, thats why I solder directly to board all the power connectors, can modify octominer case i guess for this purpose

[@betokon]

Use fine sandpaper to sand the powder-coated places where contact with the chips on the heatsink cover

[@DontMindMeMining]

I didnt' think about that, I'm kinda wory about not to damage the chips, have you done that?

[@shakester2010]

Great build. Btw, your vocal audio level is VERY low and the music level is VERY VERY HIGH!!!

[@DontMindMeMining]

Noted!

[@eduardosanchez-dv7fz]

Thanks bro, here I am hoping that the currency rises

[@DontMindMeMining]

I hope so too, will keep the coins

[@mikeallensonntag]

Only thing I would change is integrate the psu's inside same with the ethernet switch. Then adding vertical separation on fan side between the miners that should increase airflow through the miners.

[@DontMindMeMining]

I tried and did testing on one of my video by separating each KS0 with vertical boars and didn't have any good results it may help slightly in hot inviroment but defusers I use between the fans help a lot. i keep psu and network switch outside for ease of service but defenetely can be eclosed for better look

[@ovniologo321]

I like it, metal Cases are way to much money but i will invest in higher power fans i had to go fast infinity that almost broke my finger to make my kso happy

[@DontMindMeMining]

Thanks, I’ve build 6-7 of those for GPU before so now just transferring to ks0 😊

[@the_realist]

Thank you for sharing. I have an IBM server PSU. I want to use it with KS0-Pro. But I don't know how to convert 6 pin connector to 2 pin without any adapter. I want to do that only using 1-1 connectors. Do you have any schema ? Can you share it ?

[@DontMindMeMining]

Thanks, I have a vid where I just solder xt60 to pcie 6 pin wires. Can solder directly to 5.5x2.5 barrel connectors but they way to fragile for this application and current. I recommend used high quality connectors or solder xt60 which are the best connectors imo.

[@the_realist]

@@DontMindMeMining thank you so much. Can you share a connector link for 6 pin wires to xt60 ? I didn't find any part in your part list at description.

[@DontMindMeMining]

@@the_realist I wasn’t able to find readily made connectors I make one from GPU mining rigs 6 pin 16ga cables and solder to xt60 or can use quick connect that rated for 30amp if don’t any to solder yours. All connectors links listed in description

[@Stantheman-jv5kv]

Hello What power AC-DC are you using in this video ?? Is enough for 7 ks?

[@DontMindMeMining]

Hi, I’m using 2 HP server PSU from my GPU mining rigs one is 1200w and one 750W. You can just calculate your load and use 80% rule for any pc psu or server psu should work with no problem. I’m trying to stay at 70% for psu load to keep them cooler

[@Stantheman-jv5kv]

@@DontMindMeMining So for 3 ks0 pro will be enough one ?

[@DontMindMeMining]

@@Stantheman-jv5kv 750W will definitely work for all overclocked. Also, can connect network switch to 12V as well.

[@Stantheman-jv5kv]

@@DontMindMeMining cheers just ordered 1200w hp

[@Stantheman-jv5kv]

@DontMindMeMining Do you have an STL file for that fan 3D printed ??

[@mihaildorian]

In the place where the memory comes into contact with the radiator, the paint must be cleaned.

[@DontMindMeMining]

Do you mean the paint on the black heatsink? It’s a powered coating so it has pretty good thermal transfer rate I think.

[@mihaildorian]

Give it a try and compare 😊

[@DontMindMeMining]

@@mihaildorian are you talking about removing paint from mosfets or ks0pro's body where it contacts to the chip?

[@mihaildorian]

@@DontMindMeMining from the radiator,you can use sandpaper

[@DontMindMeMining]

​​⁠I see, there are no problem with chips, the issue is with mosfets overheating which are not in contact with radiator. So will be no help to the temps.

[@lejardindeloizo451]

can we have the ref of your thermal camera please

[@DontMindMeMining]

Yes, the link is in description below

[@dorjenangwa]

What is your total wattage? You look like you could avg $695/mo. at $0.172 usd on a coin! Not too shabby for a low energy cost.

[@DontMindMeMining]

for 7-KS0PRO about 1400W thats about $4.2 a day at $0.12/KW in the summer it will be $0.18 so may have to switch to solar at peak hours

[@dorjenangwa]

@@DontMindMeMining I really admire your videos. You're just here doing you and no one else, no frills. Just human.

[@DontMindMeMining]

@@dorjenangwa thanks, appreciate the support.

[@dorjenangwa]

@@DontMindMeMining I am wondering, if you had to make the ks0 box again, would you sit each unit flush, side by side? Avoid the paper blockers?

[@DontMindMeMining]

@@dorjenangwa I designed this on purpose so each external fan will be assigned to each ks0pro and can be individual controlled for overclock. If you’re not planning to do over clocks then it’s OK probably to put closer to each other if that what you were asking

[@roydavisjr.9350]

If you were smart, you’d cut your losses and sell those KSO PROs. Re-coup what you can and buy the coin. You will never mine the amount of coin you could have bought in place of those. Otherwise great idea, it’s just too bad those machines will be paper weights soon

[@DontMindMeMining]

Yes, you’re correct but that always part of the game. Can’t always win. KA3 did similar jump and drop but may come to life.

[@mikeallensonntag]

I wouldn't listen to him, based on my calculations it's definitely possible to get roi and then some.

[@roydavisjr.9350]

@@mikeallensonntag your missing the point. I’m not saying it’s not possible to get an ROI in terms of getting back what you paid. I’m saying that your missing out on the gains of the coin appreciation since your buying the Asic instead of the coin. The likely hood of mining the amount of coin you could have just bought instead of the miner is slim to none. It’s smarter to just buy the coin in this case, unless your able to buy these for $200 or less it’s just not worth it. If he was smart, he’d sell these while they still hold some value.
