Thanks for getting this up so quickly!!!
Thanks for watching it 🤝
Ooof, first one with the overclock guide, BANGER!
with the new batch of icerivers not shipping til August, this makes sense to get a head start for the relaunch of krc20s and the big gains all miners get during that
incoming video: KSO caught fire
Pulled pork on ks0 ultra 😂
turned it off until more people do the OC and i know it's safe LMAO
😂
@@TechnicalsMatt no doubt pb farmers last OC was more safe then the T swift
the fact you can control and keep a eye on temps makes it more safe.
specially when people want most out of the boxes
there are a design of shrouts than only blown on the inside, those do provide better cooling.
the outside cooling is often done with fans on both sides of the box anyway
i can hook them up with 1 duct fan to 3-4 connected boxes, because i blow only through the inside of boxes.
and dont loose airpresure
and the fact that the fee went to the kaspa foundation when it comes to pb farmer also makes the fee a kind investment in your own future
You've been up alllll niiight pushing out these vids lol. At this point, I'll take that $550 as a lump of KAS and DCA a bit before pump. Nice Job! Don't melt your shit down!
Holler ❤
Good work man!
wondering ifyou'd take a quick look at my tables toward the end. seems to suggest OC'ing is better than just buying more Ultras, even with the added costs. lmk
@@TechnicalsMatt table at the end make complete sense.. If this was a year ago maybe it would be a bit different. But the way I see it we are in the end days of kaspa mining and right now its a race. And hash power is everything. And let's be honest here. If I were to buy a second ultra I'd be modding that one also for a combined 1.2 Terahash plus worth of power r. These overclocks are welcomed if you ask me. And their help is .
Ks0 ultra x 2 @239= 588 bucks shipped....800gh @ 200w.
ONE ks0 ultra modded pulling 3x the power and 1.8x the hash. 294 shipped plus other stuff to frankenstein it.
Not burning my house down modding one ? PRICELESS. 🔥🔥🔥
This was exactly what I was thinking.
My thinking exactly too, but the breakout towards the end of the vid suggests OC would recoup faster. Waiting for someone to find the flaw in the math
Where are you finding the Ultra for $239? Please include a link. TIA
right, show me the link for $239 bro
@@chrisgauch5169 it is on iceriver directly , be sure to go to the official page. I can't post link youtube blocks it.
Buying all of this stuff and your fan shroud. Glad you made them so I can support you! Keep it up! Also, did you consider any of the $50-$60 330W chargers? Curious if they would work well or be a fire hazard…
With PSU's i tend to not F around TOO MUCH esp considering how hot the 220w psu got with the pro. If you can find one and the plug matches, i'd be interested to know how it works out. Also yesmining mentioned they're putting a psu on their site that can be used but i haven't seen it yet. Thank you!
Ah yea makes total sense. The barrel plug is a 5.5x2.5mm correct? I have not found one with that size yet so I may have to buy the expensive one…
Also, I wonder if you could use a barrel plug adapter to convert them to the correct size…might just build up heat though.
More like ks whoa, lol
The maths seem to math
👍👍🙂
16:15😅💯
I think what should be considered is the price of the new power supply and fans and heatsink and paste. All of that adds up and if we are buying that PSU ROI is going to take longer., but yes in the long run it will pay off
per the table, even with the mods, it would roi quicker than a stock unit. still waiting for someone to show me how the math is wrong (honestly, not trying to be combative because I can't believe it myself)
@@TechnicalsMatt No worries. I only see the cost prices in your table as $349 on both whereas the OC version should technically be $349 for the miner, $125 for the PSU, $16 for the shroud, but lets assume they are printing it so a few pennies, $23 for the fan, $8.99 for the paste, and heatsink $6.99. That should be close to $513. Technically there are cheaper PSUs, cheaper fans, and cheaper pastes, but I would think the OC Version should be on your chart around 475 at a mininum. Not trying to be combative and I don't think these were included when I watched it. Really nice video though and I do think ROI will happen quicker, but you'd have to buy the cheaper stuff for that in my opinion otherwise it's around the same time, but will end up getting more profits in the long run. I'm hoping we see increased profits next month once they try again with the KRC20.
I put up a supplemental video and it still makes sense to a certain point.
Great content!
I need to get me a parts order going, can you print the front grill as well? I have a pair of KS0 pros id like to bump up a step!
Id leave the grills off if possible, more airflow
Onething I did notice and this was brought up in afew other streams as maybe a possibility. If you raise the miner slightly off the table to cool it down it loses hash and quite a bit. I noticed 63 was a decent avg temp getting 400 plus gh/s. Even dropping it to 62 dropped the hash about 30-40 gh/s.
Incase you don't feel like doing the firmware idea. Which I am interested in doing myself.... But...... If its not broke dont make it worse is kinda my thought.
Great video
On the ROI you need to add the cost of the mods vs stock to make it fair.
Thought of that later (was in a rush with this one). Even if the mods are an extra $150 add 4mo to the timeframe, still (barely) beating out a stock machine, but only just.
@@TechnicalsMatt still a great video.
Nice, thanks for the update, but will wait to get a free overclock, should be fast release :)
Did you get a new camera or new lighting? The videos are looking much better!
Camera, but I still think videos look like shit when I record this way via OBS. I did it because it's faster, but i'm limited to 720p because of bandwidth, but my editor outputs at 4k so i get grainy
But thank you, lol
@@TechnicalsMatt it’s much brighter
The cost of the AC adapters seems to negate benefit here. Especially if you consider that the lifespan and warranty are now shortened and eliminated respectively.
140$... just too insane for me.
Does your shroud go around or through the miner? Looks like around..
around. for it to work properly it has to blow over the outer fins
Yes the purpose of this video is to show they can overclock KS0 ultra and that's it.
The price of the new PSU is more than half of the price of the miner, and then you need to pay for the firmware.
Voiding the warranty, losing feature of the machine(can't reset LOL) and lessen the efficiency?
Just buy another KS0 ultra. Why spend more increasing the risk and losing everything?
Maybe if they did was stable 400GH @ 60w or lesser without tearing it down, I might consider using their firmware.
I did the math in the end of the vid and a supplemental showing that it makes more sense to overclock than just buy another ultra. Kaspa isn't about efficiency due to it's emission schedule.
@@TechnicalsMatt @TechnicalsMatt But you did not include the price of the firmware and the PSU, and copper heatsink on your computation.
So lets say that 239$(price of miner on iceriver) + 140$(new PSU) + firmware + 10$(copper heatsink) then check again how long you will get the ROI.
On iceriver website the price of ultra is 239$ + stock PSU is 20$ = 259$ @ 400gh
if you want to do the OC 239$ + 140$(330w PSU) + 10$(copper heatsink) + 36$ firmware(618,676,700) = 425$ @ 600-680gh
Let's say I bought 3 running @ stock = 1200gh @ 777$ @ 300w
Compare it at 2 miner + OC = 1200gh/1360gh @850$ @ 400w
At this moment I'll use your computation on the video, stock will give you 37.2$/month and 54.4$/month @ OC and it will be lesser every month because of the reduction on the emission schedule.
Now I have 3 stock running (37.2 * 3 = 111.6) @ 300w with an ROI target of 777$
2 OC running (54.4 * 2 = 108.8) @ 400w with an ROI target of 850$
from this stand point I can clearly see who will ROI first specially if after power.
3 Miner running on stock > 2 OC Miner running
I did in my supplemental video. The only thing I can't account for is difficulty increases which will surely rise and rise hard. I maintain that kaspa is about a race to ever-lowering rewards versus a long term efficiency play. Further to that, I don't subscribe to ROI based thinking mainly because there are so many constantly changing variables. It's pointless but this is the only metric I have to go on for comparison
@@TechnicalsMatt yeah, lets not consider the ROI. I'll use hashrate as a basis which one is higher using the same budget. maybe this will be the last one for now.
And by the way efficiency is important that's why we have these miners right now.
Example:
I didn't add the cooling shroud price for now because you will not going to consider to OC if I added more price hahaha.
Budget: 22,100$
Miner Price: 239$
Stock PSU: 20$/each miner
OC:
330w PSU: 140$/each miner
Copper heatsink: 10$/each miner
Firmware: 200KAS = 36$ at this time/each miner
Use all the budget to buy miner and OC stuff (without the price of cooling shroud)
239$ + 140$ + 10$ + 36$ = 425$ per miner
52 miners = 22,100$/425$
10400w = 52miners * 200watts
32,136gh = 52miners * 618gh
On stock:
239$ + 20$ = 259$ but lets make it 260$ to use all 22,100$ budget
85 miners = 22,100$/260$
8,500w = 85miners * 100watts
34,000gh = 85miners * 400gh
Summary:
I don't see any advantage why would you risk it to OC instead of buying another miner.
Ahh yes, by OCing your miner you can save space at your placecompared having a lot of stock miners.
I have a stack of about 3k and my miners are starting to fall behind. Do I invest in more equipment or just kaspa?
Mining tubers are banned from saying "Just buy the coin" but tbqh if you plan to hold the coins you mine, you should JBTC, IMO NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE
Also send me 1k for that advice
I been looking at these miners for a while now but not sure to buy one almost looks like a pump Im not sure to buy one or not
Great video. Curious. What in the heat on the outer shell running? What is internal fans at? I found base extremely hot. Almost fire range. I run mine w 0 internal fans. Some fans behind. Outer shell runs 109F. I get near 390 yo 400Gh
On stock firmware or OC? I can put my hand on the shell and it's barely warm but my fan is at 100$%
On stock. It runs 147GH. Sounds like OC fixed things w temp
I would say it makes more sense just to buy another one largely because of the amount of money you need to put out in order to do the mod isn't it relatively close to purchasing a new one The power supply that he recommended alone in the telegram was $125 by itself on top of everything else needed and I don't know how much he's charging for the software
I've been able to do all this for 80 bucks... With a bit of research I can get the 330w asus PSU for 40 bucks.
For kaspa mining, MY OPINION ONLY - is not an efficiency game, it's about getting as much as possible against the emission schedule. See the table later in the video. The OC version "ROI's" faster than a stock, even with the added costs.
@@TechnicalsMatt amen
@@TechnicalsMatt And is it a faster ROI on Modded than the two KSO Ultras, considering the investment in modding?
@@RainBitcoins what size is the barrel plug?
9:54 Thermal protection on the powersupply?
mosfet thermal prob
Question- should a fan on the KS0 be mounted to blow air on to, or away from unit? (or does it not matter)
priority is to push air IN but you can do push/pull
Whats the total cost for the OC version?
cost of device + a range of 80-180 for the mods, roughly, depending on how you do it
Can we put in immersion cooling and overclock 700g
Kind of a lot of $$$ for a 200$ miner
@@TechnicalsMatt if we already have 😬
my ks0 ultra keeps going dead on stock firmware
Hey my man... I just realized you never actually showed us a screenshot of you uploading the firmware to your Ultra, nor did you show us your ultra hashing in the GUI after the new firmware installed.... Was that just an oversight?
completely, was 100% rushing this one. i'll ofc have future videos of it, and prob show it on the weekly swithcup vid. i'm ~620gh for the past 15hrs at this point on the 618H variant
On the tswift telegram he didn’t mention thermal pads. Are the original ones fine?
I noticed that as well. I kept the original pads on mine and it seems to be OK, no chip has gone over temp. If it was important i'm sure it would've made it into the readme
going to oc 1 of my ultras soon. bought the stuff to do it now just waiting to get it in. I noticed pbfarmer shows voltage readouts...does the tswift software show that so we can get a good ideea of when we should be stopping?
monitor only shows heat and clock o mine
I hope AlO also can OC😅
What does it cost to upgrade the single unit? Fans, ducting, firmware...
FW is free with 0.5%
PSU can be found for $50 for all but the top hashrate, the cadillac model is 130
heatsinks and paste are cheap, maybe $10
fan if you look around maybe $10, new $20
shroud you can print yourself or buy on ebay for maybe $10. i sell a 2pack for 16+ship
So, 80-180
Any chance we can get kaspa color's for the shroud?
may add color options soon, have to catch up on current orders. i severely underestimated the demand
not sure where to go for help one of my ultra's is not responding the gui is available but says the "machine is offline" and I cant update the firmware now as it cant connect. I dont want to reset it as that was one of the warrnings. any help would be great or even where to look for help :)
you get a fix?
@@TechnicalsMatt not yet
@@TechnicalsMatt back up and running 100 Kas for the fix
What power supply did you use?

@@TechnicalsMatt just ordered. Thanks
I would love a couple of these but....$$$ hard to come up with the extra at this time.. .. kinda spent my extra on getting two pcs going on salad only to not get work loads...😢. ** Likely due to my crappy Internet**
Hi, did anyone update this OC and it also blocked your iceriver ultra, it happened to me and I can't restore it via the miner button or via the IP via the Ice Monitor panel... has anyone managed it or do you know someone who can help?
DM Tswift, from what i've heard the device isn't bricked like the pro could've been, everything is repairable
bad option
OC 300w = 700g
where's the logic?
better option
norm 100w = 400g x 2
the ROI tables near the end of the video (assuming no changes to difficulty, price, etc) spell a different story. Kaspa mining isn't about efficiency IMO. Efficiency is for coins that have long reduction schedules. Again, IMO.
KS5 20th 3000w 150watts per Th/s. seems to be the best option.
If you got it like that for an expensive miner, ya
Oh, forgot KAS
Had to listen 10x, still conclude just buy another Ultra, NFA, POV, BTC, WTF, running out of 3 letter acronyms
BUT THE MATH
