Hey all! I purchased one of these to try it out. I have an Octo 8 card. Seems to work just as well for my purposes. Less bells and whistles for sure but I don't need that extra stuff anyway. I came with some superficial damage from delivery which was handled within hours of emailing them. So, good customer service as well. At this point I'd recomend it. I'll update this post if anything changes.

[@TswiftCrypto]

the company that makes these is pretty sus. brand new company, all of their social media links on their website lead to nothing. case looks like a rebranded alibaba case at twice the price edit: they legit removed all their social media links that led nowhere and left one twitter link to a dead account after seeing this comment, sick damage control

[@GuccioMNE]

And what octo miner and gpurisers case is not chinese shit?

[@BlessedNoob]

Yea exactly, like a Lian Li case is like 5-600 shipped. Even Amazon has the some of the exact same ones Lian Li has for the same price too. Can't justify spending 900+ on a server case.

[@nedjimb0]

I've seen chassis like these for $300 on alibaba. Cheap construction. Timebomb no-name Chinese "mining psu". Bought some myself last year. Why would I spend close to $900 just so that it automatically drops fan speeds? I feel the same way about Octominers, but at least the manufacture quality and PSU configuration (takes HP server PSUs, can easily replace) on those are better.

[@mossbogger8366]

the motherboards are junk tbh. the pins for the pcie cables are the worst possible design in history, perfect for snagging any piece of dust or hair that enters the case, creating shorts when the humidity rises. shenzen market pcb's with 0 quality control

[@MeatballCB]

Great to see these made and shipped from the US so you don't have to have the huge lead times! I don't see why these companies cheap out on the power cable gauge though. What can it cost? Another $10-$20 per unit to go with heavier gauge wires? Seems worth it to me considering the first time someone posts pictures of melted power wires it's going to kill your sales (even if it's the users fault). Also seems a weird choice not having video/USB (connected) on the front so you don't have to get behind the unit if you need to hook up to the console. Few tweaks and I'd probably go with them going forward :)

[@aaronwalker7221]

I hope this video isnt as doom and gloom as yesterday Panda, blimey ;)

[@OpenEarsHear]

Hello RPM, thanks for this video. Does the fans controls show up in Hive OS? As we know, Octominers fans show up in HiveOS?

[@toketcang]

@ RPM, there is a space from the MB section where you can pass your hand and the screw driver to get the handle screw

[@hyroot]

for the handle just use a socket wrench with a phillips head attachment

[@maxr7438]

I mean for half the price you can get the Lian-Li 3300w same case. Yes you get the cute LCD screen and a bit more space between cards but like... is it enough ?

[@webby459]

the power to the cards rely on the traces in the mb to handle the current. sounds like a terrible idea.

[@fullyelectric]

RPM I have the eBay version of that case it’s identical .. I have two of them and I have been running 16 3080-FE in two very similar case for about a year now without any issue, my case only cost 420 but I had to buy 4 better Delta fans, other than that the one 6 pin to 2 8 pins has been perfect no issues at all.

[@Prophetian]

The only reason why I am thinking of upgrading my cases to Octominer is the fact that they have hot swappable PSUs. I have MiningBox and the fans on some of the PSUs can be extremely noisy (louder than the 5 120 fans! Then again, I'm not using them in a barn or a separate mining space so noise is an issue.

[@Prophetian]

@Jesus is Lord not applicable for server cases, especially for 3090s where you need A LOT of pcie cables. I did change the fans on the PSUs, that helped. Once you try server PSU, you'll never look back!

[@Prophetian]

@Jesus is Lord server PSUs are quiet, but the PSUs that come with these server cases AREN'T. exception being Octominer because they come with actual server PSUs. Noise is definitely an issue for me but it's manageable.

[@propeldragon]

All these server cases will be over 50% off in a few months

[@JonathanGorr]

@redpandamining my x12 octominer did come with one "stabilization bar".

[@blueridgeminer4203]

do the GPUs pull air in from the rear or exhaust from the rear?

[@TechManTY.]

Take the top screw out, put screw in bottom hole and spin bracket around until tight then do top screw 🤷. Continuing video ...

[@troy2923]

gold! :)

[@Rodrigo8]

The back grid is strangling of air outtake. The amount of cubic air must be the same at the outlet

[@stevedevice1866]

Dude, get a flexible extension for your screwdriver, you should already have an iFixit kit! Sheesh...

[@degenhexican9355]

Finally GPUs listed in order! No more spinning fans up and down to locate a card

[@vanjagajic5646]

Only 1 month warranty and pretty expensive compared to others server cases. If i had to guess the PSU won't hold any longer than 1 month :D You know what gauge those 6-Pin to Dual 8-Pin Cables are? Are they 18 gauge aswell?

[@TheTravelersTravels]

Nice product, but no hdmi? 18awg cables, not 16awg in this day, and age is a poor decision..

For your screw problem you can use a suitable offset screwdriver ;-)

[@peterklawitter1450]

what are the differences between polominer and polominer pro??

[@botlifegamer7026]

Your 3080 pullinh 231watts lol reason it's riding high on temp. You also don't need PL if you lock your Cclocks at it will set your power. and 3080 cclocks seem to work great at 1080 and 1200mclock when not using PL at all

[@solarminer7194]

Adding these if you have to but personally it's a waste of money. Buying rigs that run cool is the way to go.

[@michaelflores4516]

Love the videos, as for the inaccessible screw you need an angle driver screwdriver

[@degenhexican9355]

Or a stubby

[@averyhector2352]

What version of Nvidia driver are you using?

[@dutelatte2154]

I haven't found any good server case like Octominer or Polominer in Europe, is there any solution on how to buy in europe?

[@ytpe3714]

you can spin the handle instead

[@lauretiu]

man let's be real: you have to be insane to pay 8-900$ for a case this days when a 3080 makes 2.7$ a day before power and the merge is coming. i'm not hating by any means, but it doesn't make sense. maybe i will switch to server cases by 2024 or 2025 if the prices become reasonable but till than fans +industrial fans plus good exhaust will keep my cards cool

[@CookingWithXpsZero]

I don’t feel like that’s a pro version it looks like more of a standard version not a pro version and not a fan of the power distribution it relies too much on the motherboard and that’s a possible big point of failure.

[@mohsenearmanvand1964]

I've been mining in Utopia for a long time now and I can tell you that it's much more economical and environmentally friendly

[@navaneetkumarbogum7528]

octaminer feels much better than that.!

[@Robertevo]

I have that same board and a 3080 took out 2 slots even with only using one lead off the mobo and the other 2 straight from the psu. Anything under a 3080 is fine on mine but only have 6 slots left.

[@mossbogger8366]

I have mined 6 cards, 2 3090s and 3 3080tis, one of them was on a riser... using this mother board. just plug cables straight into the cards, dont use the relay thru the board. you just have to power the board with a 12v pcie... problem is the cpu is so underpowered it cannot handle the amount of data being shoved around and so the driver constantly crashes

[@t.t.vsweatyfishsick7712]

[@nickpistorius2573]

I think for now octomineer is still better, but I think polominer has a great future and they will learn of there mistakes. they will get better so, maybe they will get better than octominer in the futere. who knows.

[@jporter504]

I would venture a guess that a vast majority of GPU miners in the U.S. are on 15 amp circuits. Just the way it is unfortunately.

[@scarysunburns7733]

This seems like a fire waiting to happen to me. Someone is obviously going to try and throw more than 5 3090s in there... Also... Powering a 3080ti or 3090 from a 6 pin? No thanks.

[@mossbogger8366]

I think they are made for older cards around 100watts....but regardless, you do not have to use the outputs from the mother board, you can just run cables from psu straight to your cards.

[@HawkCryptoTech]

Great review brother!!! Mine is working great too!

+1 for stabilizer bar yet only uses 1 screw in each. also noticed one was missing screws entirely ;)

I don’t understand people who can afford these server cases but don’t buy racks to put them in?

I guess the KZbin money if you have it probably helps, to pay for these expensive cases. I wish I could get a rack and fill it with cases like this full of gpus😂
