I wouldn't want my Kaspa KA Box to STOP Mining...

[@ApextoMining]

Wow, great video and detailed introduction！Thanks RMP！

[@tylerp7336]

I commented on your previous KA box video and my opinion still stands that I think for the price they should have figured out the cooling better as you clearly just showed us it helps with temps (giving you piece of mind and longevity) and hash rate. Great and simple solution with the fan RPM. Thanks for the vid.

[@fullyelectric]

RPM ❤ we believe you! I think all anyone was saying was the 82* target temp is an OEM manufacturer setting, however we do agree with you lower temps as always been better for efficiency and hashrate! Awesome PSA .. KA Box is need you in my life, USA

[@cubecomputer3418]

I agree that it's a good idea to keep the miners cool to minimize power draw and maximise the lifespan of the fans and the miner, I just want to point out that the differance in HW errors could be silicone lottery and not only the extra cooling. I own 3 first gen HS-box miners and from miner to miner there are sometimes a 2-3% difference in HW errors. Keep making great content 👍

[@DjMines]

Wheres the link for the cable to run the fan?

[@coinology2022]

On all Goldshell mini box miners I remove the rear grate and place a box fan blowing across the intakes. This drops the temps down to about 78 even in my grow tent.

[@LarsLarsen77]

I thought I was the only person heating my grow tent with a goldshell, LOL

[@ronwatkins5775]

I broke down and bought one from a reseller after missing out both times on the Goldshell website. I definately want to get a rear-shroud kit. I think the front would be problematic with the power/ethernet and limited opening as you identified. Rear shroud makes more sense. Were you able to capture the before/after power consumption of the miner and then the miner+fan?

[@ToddDesiato]

I'm running my Goldshell from a 12V LFP battery, charged from solar. Works great, I don't pay for power and a little larger battery, and it will run all day and night. 400W solar is easy.

[@GreaterGoodMining]

I think the KA Box is awesome but I agree with you on the heat. Iceriver said the same thing to me about the KS0 Pro, that it is meant to run hot. But I see better hashrate with temps in a lower range than what they suggest. And I don't like my miners running that hot for longevity and safety!

[@QcycleLife]

Absolutely loving the detailed breakdown of the Goldshell KA Box Kaspa miner! Your insights are always spot-on, and the way you navigated through the specs, performance, and profitability aspects was incredibly informative. It's clear that mining KASPA could be a promising venture, especially with the unique features of the KA Box. I appreciate the balanced view on its operational costs and potential earnings, giving us a realistic expectation. Can't wait to see more content like this, especially deep dives into other ASIC miners and how they stack up against the KA Box in terms of efficiency and profitability. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@blocklawbstah9069]

I haven't really ventured much into asics. I think they're cool I just like the versatility of gpu/cpu more. But they're definitely something I'm interested in messing with. Next down market Ill probably see what I can scoop,

[@Geedeepee]

I have a KD box 2 that has been running for almost a year now at 77-80C so I think thermally they designed pretty similar. I have had no issues with the 2 KD box 2s

[@Porter302007]

Great info. The side by side comparison is great. In my opinion you should always try to lower the temp on electronics - if you can do this simply by adding some airflow that's great. Goldshell does try to minimize noise on these units but they all operate at relatively high temps... Might not be an issue but it doesn't hurt to cool them down a bit.

[@SquidMining]

I know some of the people on the GS discord created a 3d print for these to help cool them down. I'll have to look it up and test it out to see how good it works

[@SquidMining]

Welp they won't let me post a link for the shroud apparently

[@TWizzleMyNizzle94]

I really wanted one of those KA Boxes! Or, a KS0 Pro! Both are pretty nice! Wish I had one! Anyhow, great video as always, brother! Keep up the great work and Happy Mining, good sir! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@imjamesyourenot]

Thanks RPM for the heads up on moving the fan to the back on the KA Box! Just moved mine and already see a huge improvement!

[@MinerHut]

Seems a bit hot and hopefully these are quality tested for longevity. These are suppose to be practically plug and play, so shouldn’t need extra fans etc. I did learn my lesson for not cooling my KS0 Pro enough.

[@LowKeyAngler]

the heat is some thing else for sure need to be controlled. I m the south of Texas and heat is a big deal with miners during the summer. solid video

[@mattiverson2343]

Amazing videos on your Kaspa miners

[@mozzarella84]

Thanks for the vid! Waiting for KA directly from Goldshell. Ordered some six pins from veteran miner. You said the fan on the back is to "extract" air, I'm assuming you have the fan directed to push air out and exhaust air, not push air in, correct? I watched to the end a couple of times. Thanks and pick me for 24 hour hashrate.

[@gelirtrens593]

Thanks for the video, I already ordered the same one because I believed that the temperature problem could be solved. Now I know for sure that I can create and print a model and everything will be fine))

[@TyJoseph91]

Seems like a simple enough solution. Thanks for testing this for the community!

[@avintegration1893]

Based on your experiment, I agree with you that this unit must have suction fan/s at the perforated heat sink to draw out the heat, otherwise negative to run this by itself

[@CDRBAZ-Miner]

Wow man, always coming out with great info and videos that just keep me interested. I have a few lil Goldshell miners and they are always a lil hot for my liking with this Australia heat lol was going to look at getting a KA box but price is out of my range "$2600 plus postage and then import tax" as an home miner so my KSO Pro will do for now lol

[@DaveTube775]

my opinion on the KA Box: I think it's a great asic, especially for home or new miners, but I agree that the temps are concerning. I will have one soon and will definitely run an external exhaust fan.

[@matthewmysliwiec6436]

There was a conflicting video done by rabidmining. I get and believe that cooler operation leads to better performance. Has there been any negative performance observed?

[@chrisgauch5169]

Was ready to buy one but missed the first run. Now they're $1000 more than originally listed price. It's hard to justify right now that the ROI has doubled.

[@MinedCapital]

I love the little Panda rant at the end 😂 The KA box seems decent but i agree it’s too hot and too expensive.

[@RedPandaMining]

Lmao RIP

[@LarsLarsen77]

How much power are you using on that fan though? Does the extra hash rate pay for that electricity? That's the real question.

[@gfx2006]

My result with the KA Box has been opposite to yours (and consistent with Rabid Miner's findings). Every time I use any fan to cool it below 78-79C, hardware error starts to rise, and hashrate drops.

[@ronaldkclai]

Good catch, Panda. Would it be more realistic to do a “before and after” test of the fan for the same one single Box?

[@alltrac89]

If had one I would remove the stock fans and blow in from the back with aux fan/s. Ideally you could power the external fans with internal headers and utilize the systems temp regulated fan control. Thanks for sharing RPM. Canada

[@MagmaTrevor]

Is there a reason you run it on 240? I just ordered 2 and was gonna run a standard psu for PC but you have me interested now

[@dakotaminer1493]

It's amazing, RPM! You should be the Research and Development for asic mining!

[@NerdThingsAndMore]

Thanks for the video

[@truthalwaysprevails7910]

Excellent workaround-how are you powering the fan?

[@Breakstrong]

Nice video. Thanks for the detailed review on the performance between the two units.

[@LO-MENG]

What kind or which model pdu would I grab to support two of these goldshells like you're doing right here?

[@riftgod6169]

Good to know! I like the Ka box but I'm worried at the higher price and the ever increasing difficulty

[@migratingrocks]

Would love to have gotten the KA Box upon release. Hope they make a firmware update that will let you control the fan speeds and temps.

[@bhavr02]

Awesome video as always, I would love to get one of the ka boxes but I'm on the ropes with buying another kas miner. I do wish this would have come out before I bought my pro

[@robmunter7547]

Thanks great video and as I am waiting for my own KA box think I will now also get a fan.

[@jokerminer1]

Sent my KD Box II to Meter box for you so he can build you a shroud and fan setup. You're welcome @RedPandaMining

[@greegp7400]

How you power this fan ? I buy KA will arrive late may , i buy aswell this noctua but how to power this fan i dont know

[@andrewfurfaro5326]

You would think they would've came up with better cooling knowing heat destorys electronics. Still a sweet box tho

[@BombBayGardens]

Another awesome video as always RPM ❤🎉 at least in the winter you could use these as space heaters that MAKE you money instead of TAKE your money 💰 🤑 💸 😂

[@Carl72W]

The rear shroud looks to be a must for the KA box.

[@ryansdoherty]

Thanks RPM! KA-Box is definitely a good deal.. wish Goldshell had it available in their online store...

[@kingjester2382]

I think it’s ridiculous that you can’t change the target temp to be lower than 82 C. My old SC-Box has a slider to set the target temp and I have mine set at 65 C. I’m not sure why goldshell hasn’t included this on all the box 2 series miners when they had it on the box 1 series

[@بنخلدون-ي3ث]

boss pls tell me i put for power only 6 pin its ok or should be put 12 pin in power supply what the best

[@alienhawkq4690]

I would not have chosen a KA box before this video. But the added fan is a game changer. Thanks RP.

[@naomiarmitage8729]

stupid question ,but if you put the "exhaust" looking up ,would it help thermals without an exhaust fan ??? ,i dont have my KA yet ,but im eager :)

[@hollywood8550]

Love the video hope they get a shroud made soon those Temps need to stay under control for sure. Keep the vids coming 👍

[@jarooty2]

What is the best fan to buy?

[@STXmenu]

just bought two of these fans. gonna record the results. what did you use to power the fans? great video!

[@infinite3590]

how did this go, did you manage to power it? how did you put it together

[@TheMiningCabinet]

I'd like to get a KA Box but not at the current prices. Maybe $1600.

[@w3rth3r789]

what if you add 2 fans puling out heat ?

[@Bcmurphy87]

Should we expect the same issues with AL Box?

[@Pro-yr8lv]

Hi, can you tell me the exact dimensions of the front wall?

[@mdk777s6]

As always thanks for the great video and info panda!

[@o2od]

Great video, I wonder if this is going to work on the Dogepro as well.. Thanks for the science experiment..

[@christianjohansen2349]

i think extra cooling on the back is a good idea

[@qlrich99]

The efficiency of this KA box is good, but the PRICE is not that attractive compared to the Iceriver miners😬

[@64adrien]

Great, I was waiting for this video ;))) I'm going to put a 120 fan in the back. TOPPPPPPP!!!!! or I was thinking of putting them in dielectric oil.......

[@stephenarmstrong1681]

Just got mine online thought about a laptop cooling pad?

[@OverkillMining]

I think the KA is looks pretty good... maybe one day... thanks RPM!!!!

[@souravshaw3740]

In india, Someimporter taken very high merging to import this minner then ROI is so difficult,i want it but I don't know how i import

[@DCPCGaming]

with all my goldshell miners i take them apart and remove the pwm wire from the fan and just have them run 100%, i rather that than the 82c.

[@stephencicero]

The efficiency isn’t that much off from a ks0. With those heat issues, I still think the ks0 is a better buy

[@amdhehe]

For home mining, I loved the KA box, until I saw the price. $2500 + customs fees to get it shipped to canada.

[@thecanadianpunk-miner4life]

Wow most of us can't even get 1 and here he is with 2 lol congrats, I need 1 of these in my life!

[@Moloch_Baal]

I think we should mod those ka box, hope someone design and sell a 3d print model similar to the ks0

[@xtremerip]

Soo many great miners to choose from right now! CKB is blowing up too! US USA

[@KuunLan0001]

U should do a 'cooking on asics' show :). How is the fan powered?

[@Mae-nr7wr]

btw what happened with that mining router thing? forgot the name

[@patriknikitin]

I was looking for KA box, but they all are out of stock, so I ended up buying KS0 PRO from local reseller for 600$

[@MegaFreez3]

What is the function of antenna?

[@yellow5c]

Very informative video... I agree that a fan shroud for the back would be super helpful in keeping these beauties running for a while! US

[@zaferahmed2340]

Kind of a magic whit ext fan ?

[@tombuseck]

I think the KA box is way over priced for what it is. I have the original mini doge miners and they run way too hot as well.

[@W_luX]

temps are always high in miners ^^ its an good invenst in longterm

[@MacraDarkstar]

Would love to get one of these. They look great.

[@FLYINGSAHOTA]

how do you add wifi to the miners?

[@vybz999]

Would love to get a 3d print file for a fan shroud. Hopefully someone can share it.

[@MyLibertyTV]

I have a crazy theory…what if these companies are intentionally designing hot boxes to “encourage” the community to voluntarily void their warranties to do cooling mods? 😂

[@dentaljhonny406]

Like the box but the heat is a promblem.. would not buy it tbh. Crypto mining was never dead!! Let's run hashes till all circuits glow!

[@mrgoodlookin320]

Does it use 110v???

[@GF_Burke]

Oh nice bro. So need to get an ASIC. Anyone of them.. just to play.

[@automattikbeats]

Awesome video RPM! It's nice but a bit too expensive ATM.

[@GenXMade]

I love mine, wish I could have gotten more KA boxes. Gs did go

[@Mrooooweee]

When I feel froggy, ill buy one.. I lovr the upgrade..

[@LukewarmMiner]

Sounds like I need to make a shroud/psu holder for this 😉

[@jean-francoisaubin]

I my opinion in long term they will probably burned up

[@YaiiKzZz]

It is good when it is winter but the summer will be here soon and your home will be sauna itself 😅. Mining still gooooooodssssss…

[@ToddDesiato]

I love Goldshell but I don't have a KA box. They're too expensive.

[@Boss43rus]

A very informative video!

Thank you for all the giveaways. 🤩

[@TotaleCryptoMining]

Would love one of these little boxes…if I could ever find one 😂 Frankly I’m disgusted with Goldshell’s practices. They produce a relatively tiny batch of these and sell out in minutes and then the price gets jacked way up. Not sure it’s worth it anymore at these prices. They’ll only go up from here

[@TheChubunov]

Hi, tell me please model this fan

[@VIPCarlM]

cute little miner, definitely keep them cool!
