I have someone mining with 12 BC-250 on my WART mining pool, that person is actually doing pretty well so far 🔥🚀 Now we know why the PS5 was so hard to buy at some point of time, someone was repurposing them for crypto-mining 😅
you need to replace the front panel and fans with a few 140mm high pressure fans, something in the 5000rpm or better range. It makes a world of difference. The stock fans just scream.
@Red Panda Mining - I have this one - I bought it - and it's really laud - noisy fans. But the main issue are this insane power consumption - Red Panda - can you find some way how to lower power consumption while mining on these ones and can you try hashrates as well please in next videos! I very apprecciate your invested time to do video about this because I do have exact same thing - this very same machine and I want too to get lower power consumption while mining !!! Maybe there are some software tweaks available ?? And CPU should use all cores - not half only - this is depended from mining software !!!
@@ronwatkins5775 I replaced them with 80mm artic 10k rpm fans. Compared to the 140mm upgrade it’s Cheaper and less work with same performance. They pull 50-70watts at full speed
I bought one of those cards. No linux video drivers. Ive heard no directx12 in windows. So right now its on the shelf until I can find some drivers. I bought it to play around with gaming.
These are defective PS5 chips from the chip fab factory. Some have bad CPU cores or cache, some have bad graphics cores, some have other odd issues. At the factory, they just disabled the defective stuff so they are operational and they were sold to the aftermarket as working but defective that did not pass PS5 quality standards.
I am mining warthog on one it works great. I took the fans out and added a 490 cfm fan and flipped the direction of flow also flipped the ps fans. I use usb and they work great no problems quick boot.
Reminds me of an IBM Blade Server. Kind of cool. Probably useless but still cool hardware. Great video! RPM for Prime Minister (I think that's what it's called in Canada). Forgive this ignorant American. Love the content!!!
I do see some ebay sellers selling single cards. These basically use the pci bus for power and that is it. There are 2 psu power plugs on the end of the board. GPU, CPU, RAM, BIOS are all contained on the card, you just need storage and power and they will work
@@sheldonirving9529 Ya, you are probably right. I was just trying to recall it from memory. My computer building goes back to when agp slot was the graphics card standard and AMD/Intel had cpu slot processors when I first got into it building custom computers. Anyway, I'm trying to get current/stay on all the new standards but it is bluring together, lol
RPM do not have things to do. you just went live about this and now a video is made without any changes 😂🤣 At least make it to mining in the slot 1 and turn off the other slots so we can see the real power consumption 🤪😝
Would you mine on 12x Playstation 5's? lol
no
Did he change out liquid metal? It burns up over time. I have several friends that had PS5s burn up and start failing.
Xelis with srbminer?
No, not me.
Now we know the real reason Playstation5's were hard for people to acquire when they first came out.😂😂😂
ROI'd 6 of these on Warthog in 22 days. 72 Free PS5s lol
Wow there crazy
U must be really happy with the recent price change lol
Interesting rig. I love how people get creative and find a way to mine with random gear like the PS5 lol

Not sure about the usb hate. I use samsung 32g low profile usbs on all my rigs and have had zero issues. Some of them are over three years old.
Sounds like a hive of angry hornets...pandas should stay away from hornets
I bought the octominer 12x 470 setup from the pc server site for 400 usd. Not sure why I did tho
Why is it possible to have 1220 watts of power consumption even in idle state? ! That's incredible.
They are locked speeds

You can unplug the cable for the fans so the fans run even with one apu. I have 6 of theses.
Im still waiting on my fan kit, but wondering how much of that power is due to the fans vs the individual blades.
At full speed all 5 fans pull 200w
@@Ziegminer We should be able to "fix" that with the 3x 140mm fan kit.

how did you manage to get that nvme to stay put upside down. miracle. i didnt realize it was upside down hahaha
any type of cluster llama3 inference that could be done with this units...
Much love fam, happy hashing!
One of mine has a sticky button so I have the same issue from time to time.
Would the idle power be reduced if you shut off the cards you were not using?
I think with the fan mod it would be pretty nice to have around. If warthog gets forked it would be decent to spec mine with.
The M.2 drive came loose during shipment?
You can mine gpu and cpu at the same time with the original psus
I might get one or two, shipping cost is too high for one to Canada, just to play around.
For $499 thats actually not to bad considering what your getting. What kind of server rack would these fit in?
it's a standard 4u case.
Did you find out why xmrig only saw 4 cores?

Try adding one of them to the AI rental thing and let us know how that works!

I look forward to seeing your next video on this
pretty cool gadget..the power though.. ouch
Bc250 or an octominer with 12 470's?
none, both are unprofitable if not very very cheap power / free power. But if you have free power the bc250
@xpatrikpvp I should have specified: for spec mining lol
Can you connect with them so I can purchase on of these systems please thank you.
But can you play on it?
I'm mining Abel and Qubic on the orginal 1200w PSUs.
Im just gonna order one just looks too fun! My power is attrocious for profitability tho
Judging from last video, ear plugs are needed !

@@standalm so the 2 sixes are apparently non standard according to the ebay man and single 8 pin is enough to turn them on.
@@standalm the ones panda has, has 3 power connectors. i dont think its a pcie bus. (pci bus, that would be so 2000s)

You should go ahead and do the fan mod too
For content its good 😂😂😂
i bet your 12th card was overheating the other day because they lid was off, affecting the suction and flow of the air !
wrong. all card with the fan control has to be on, so the fans can work well
Looks pretty sweet tho
Could them be converted to ps5?
People have tried and failed
Oh I see :(
you burn only power with this miner ^^
刀片服务器
It sounds unprofitable haha

Hot garbage which is why its so cheap
Loud garbage lol
Hello😅
First! (rip, 3rd I guess)
I was first 😂😂😂
4 second faster that the other guy 😂
