It's Alive! IceRiver KS0 PSU Replacement and USB Fan FTW!

Well traffic sucked, but Micro Center came through and we got a new PSU for the KS0. Setup finally complete and hashing away. And coupons for early purchasers! Hopefully the good customer service continues with the PSU RMA.
And the USB fan cooling solution... well it's awesome and I highly recommended to my fellow miners. Added only 1.8 watts to my setup and found deep in the documentation that it is supported so no worries there. Easily saves 10+ watts over any external powered option and the temps are staying "Ice" cold. Finally going to give ‪@RedPandaMining‬ some competition!

[@deejayskizo]

its awesome to see they have a working customer service thanks man nice video

[@motorcityminer]

Honestly, it is the best I have had from any ASIC manufacturer. Respond to all my emails, discord, etc. usually within 24 hours. PSU replacement was same day response. The only other ASIC manuf I have had great customer service w/ is Canaan.

[@Financial_Failure]

I think the direction of your fan plays a huge part on cooling imho. I didn’t want to do the whole “fan on device” but I should. Makes more sense than what I am doing

[@motorcityminer]

Yeah, I really like the USB fan cause only adds 1.8 watts to operating it. I see others with 15-20 watts non USB fans which drops your efficiency

Nevermind just saw the link. Thanks!

@@motorcityminer hey what tool do you use to monitor your ks0 earnings?

[@OzSkyking152]

I am glad that they gave you some nice discounts on future purchases. Do you know how long of a wait you will have before you receive your next order. I think that I might just have to make a purchase myself. Thanks for the power supply and fan info...

[@motorcityminer]

My 2nd order said last week June. The 3rd and 4th unit are supposed to ship first week of July. Looks like there are still units available for the 1st week July batch. Might be just enough time before KS3 to get close to ROI

[@OzSkyking152]

​@@motorcityminer So if they ship in the first week of July any idea of the time you would receive one in the US? They want to wire transfer the money to Chong Hing Bank Limited. Does that sound correct? Thanks for all your help answering my dump questions...

[@motorcityminer]

haha, no dumb questions. It took about 5 days for DHL to get to me in USA. They ship express so pretty quick even w/ customs once it actually ships out. I can't guarantee they will ship that 1st week of July though. That is up to them and their staffing. I did a crypto payment through their Coinpal checkout so not sure on the wire transfer but would follow the instructions and reach out to them if something doesn't line up. I know when I purchased large order from Octominer, the wire instructions they sent didn't quite align w/ the information my bank requested. each bank is different so you might need to ask them for additional info.

[@pxbb8011]

Hi thanks the video, very informative, btw What fan speed have you set it on KS0?. I have AC infinity S3 120mm fan, however screws wont fit. I just kep it on the side and ran and got 5 degrees reduced. Now 35 and 49 degrees...now way near your temps. ,,,so wondering if the original KS0 fans need to be set at certain speed? Mine is at 70%

[@motorcityminer]

If you want to mount the fan you will have to use M3 size screws. For the built-in fans I have them running at 50% with my ambient temp of 70 degrees in the basement.

[@_VST_]

Hello. Can you give me the spec and came brand of the usb fan?

[@paperdoll5467]

Hello and thanks for the info! In the Greater Good Mining video the screws he had for the fan were too big to go into the slots on the miner. What size screws did you use if i may ask? Thank you.

[@motorcityminer]

they are M3 size screws.

[@paperdoll5467]

Nice, looks like the current batch for sale online ships July 15th, might be cutting close to KS3 release unless delayed.

[@motleygarage420]

@@motorcityminer true that bro

[@fullyelectric]

Great 👍 content, what are the dimensions of the screws you are using to connect the fans?

[@motorcityminer]

Thanks, the KS0 holes are sized for M3 screws. Length will depend on the thickness of the fan you mount. This fan is 25mm and the screws are 30mm length

[@fullyelectric]

@@motorcityminer awesome 👏 thank you .. I got the AC infinity 120mm USB-A fan, comes with 3 fan speed controller only cost $8 if I remember correctly, comes with grills and rubber isolates, and I also got the one you linked, I’ll have it tomorrow will do some side by side testing! Thanks again.

[@motorcityminer]

nice, curious to see how the ac infinity ones do as they are higher quality. i was hesitant on them since they pull beyond the 0.5A max in icerivers docs acinfinity.com/component-cooling/component-usb-fans/multifan-s7-quiet-usb-cooling-fan-dual-120mm/#product-warranty

[@ronmahan-studentoftheology7732]

what screws did you use for usb fan and where can I buy them?

[@motorcityminer]

you need an M3 size screw. length will depend on fan width but you'll want at least 5mm longer than fan width. so 25mm width fan get a 30mm+ long M3 screw.

[@fleago4699]

wow so it looks we have to be a streamer to get a coupon, been trying for a few days now to get one to make up for the late delivery

[@motorcityminer]

as far as I am aware, coupons were given to all those that purchased Batch 1 products (early June) and those that purchased batch 2 products (early July) before they dropped the batch 2 prices.

[@droomagon]

i wonder if the NOCTUA fan can do even better job for less wattage

[@motorcityminer]

hmm, interesting idea. maybe I'll try this USB noctua: www.amazon.com/dp/B07DXLCVVL/?coliid=I2NLDMBX87ZH98&colid=JCG2T37L0RIF&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

[@Entei777]

Hey man Is it possible to have 15 Ice river ks0 PRO in my apartment charged to an cord extension or is that dangerous?

[@motorcityminer]

Depends on a few things. First don't use extension cord but use surge protectors. 15 KS0 Pro (assuming no overclocks) would be 1500w, this can be accommodated on a single circuit if you have 120V minimum 15A circuit or 240V 15A (not sure where you live) but if 120V you will want to make sure nothing else is on that circuit as 120V 15A circuit can only hold 1800w and you would be right at the 80% rule. It would be better to split the units across 2 circuits if your power is 120V 15A to be safe and allow for other household items to be plugged in safely. If you have 240V you should be fine as long as not much else is plugged in and you don't plug all into a single surge protector.

[@TrueAmerican274]

What size screws did you use on the KS0, the Antminer style fans are too large

[@motorcityminer]

it's requires M3 size

How many percent to adjust the fan speed?

[@Rasnajimmio]

I want to ask, sir, if you send this product to Indonesia on the website, what shipping service do you use? Please help answer because on the iceriver web the contact cannot be contacted

[@motorcityminer]

iceriver has been using DHL to ship the 1st batch orders. I am not sure which they will use for the later batches but probably the same. They just charge a $110 USD flat fee for shipping on the website to USA. not sure what the rate they are charging to Indonesia.

[@Rasnajimmio]

Have they counted the customs duties,

[@Rasnajimmio]

Can you help me to make purchases on the website until delivery to Indonesia,?

[@motorcityminer]

no you have to pay customs and duties. DHL will contact you to pay.

[@LostJediJC]

what size screws did you use for the fan on top?

[@motorcityminer]

you will need M3 screws. length will depend on fan width you are using.

[@LostJediJC]

@@motorcityminer my fan is one inch width, AC infinity usb fans

[@motorcityminer]

yeah so you will want at least 30mm long M3 screws

[@hossain3833]

The amount of kaspa coins we are getting from ks zero now, will we get same amount of coins or less in a year or a year and a half from now?

[@motorcityminer]

It will be significantly less 1-1.5 years. The Kaspa emission schedule is crazy fast and the KS3s coming late summer/fall will drastically cut into earning as well. I expect KS0 earning to drop significantly in a month or two.

[@ivanli9693]

I see there is a 65w luxa2, will it do the job?

[@motorcityminer]

You will want the 90w Luxa2, the unit pulls over 65w even without the fan.

[@motorcityminer]

The holes on the KS0 are for 120mm

[@ElMajdalDotNet]

Thanks dear

[@satxsatxsatx]

I'm reading on the reddit kaspa but the KS0 will be useless in a few weeks when the KS1, KS2, KS3 come online and push the difficulty sky high So buying a KS0 now for $1,000 delivered probably you'll get back your ROI but almost nothing after Crypto is always a crapshoot

[@motorcityminer]

Yeah, the price of KS0 will have to come down considerably once KS3s are on the network to make it viable.

can you open case what is inside

Unfortunately I don't want to void the warranty. After the 1 year warranty is over, I will plan to open it up though
