- Iceriver KS0 Pro Kaspa ASIC overclocked to the MAX!! (Heavily modified Vs Stock part 2) In this video my mostly stock KS0 PRO goes head to head with my heavily modified KSO PRO!! I go over how I'm adjusting my clocks & show what the true bottleneck on these machines appear to be! See how things work out for me with each adjustment! Hopefully what I've learned here will help others if they decide to modify or overclock their KS0 PRo!

Now that you've seen where the bottlenecks are on these machines, what do you plan to do about it??
i did copper heatsinks, better power supply, new pads. and 1 of my pro's will just run away with temp and restart.. can get it stable around 270.. other is doing 313gh
@@polli3578 My first KS0 Pro didn't do too well with any of the overclocks either. Even with all the mods. My most recent 2 have done well though. Silicon lottery, showing its ugly head lol
@@polli3578 i have the same issue even with all the mods
@GreaterGoodMining do you know how the chip order goes? My temps on 6,7, and 8 are higher than all the others and would like to figure out why but I don’t know which ones they are in the board
"Here's my clocks, shows black and white Cartoon Clocks....NAILED IT!
good work buddy
HaHa thanks man! Gotta have some fun with it! The occasional gif just feels right to me 😄
Love that you were able to use the graphs to show the correlation between ambient and hashrate. This is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping all the graphs w/ the synced tooltips would help people troubleshoot. And it's not just you, these things absolutely suffer in performance when the hash chips start hitting low 40s and below. 50s does indeed seem to be ideal for KS0 Pros.
Also, your hashrate on the unmodified one indicates you're voltage starved. 280 Gh/s should only require ~220mhz offset (550mhz * 80ghs / 200ghs = 220mhz). Assuming you don't want to increase voltage any further, you should try reducing your clock offset to 220, or maybe find some middle ground between +220mhz and your current +275mhz offset that might actually give you a higher hashrate.
Thanks I appreciate the info! I did feel like I should've been able to get a bit more out of the mostly Stock KS0 Pro. I'll try decreasing the clocks a bit and see how it does. I was starting to worry about the power stage temps and it did seem like things improved when I backed off the clocks a bit. Thanks again!
A little comparison slide with power usage near the end would have been nice. I enjoyed your video overall.
I should have kept better track of the power consumption throughout the whole process while I was shooting the video. But it became very tedious because I was making so many adjustments over a long period of time. I decided just to include the power consumption that I ended up with. I will try to make sure I take the time to include power consumption more frequently in future videos! :]
My OC: 300/32, 170w, power stage 91C, Chips 51C. Blowing to ethernet and sucking from power side. Stable ~315gh/s. New paste, low aliuminium heat sinks.
Nice! Sounds like you've got it dialed in. What fans are you using?
Hi man! First of all, thank you very much for the videos of ks0 pro oc, they really helped me!
One question, In the video where you make the modifications (heat sinks and everything) you say that you were blowing air from the power conector to the ethernet conector (like everybody does), and that you were going to try changing direction to improve heat sinks performance and avoid the things in the middle. Have you tested this already? How did it go?
Thanks in advance. Keep going with this nice videos please, they help new miners a lot :)
Hey thanks for watching! I havnt done extensive testing blowing in one way Vs. The other yet. Blowing in from the ethernet side makes sense to cool the power stages with the copper heat sinks better but then it's harder to access the IP report button but that's not a big issue because static IP etc. Blowing in from the power side makes sense in a different way because the barrel plug gets HOT and I worry that it could cause an issue. I might try a push pull set up again because the fan on top of the heat sink might not be necessary since it mostly helps cool the chips and dissipate heat from the inside. The chips are cool enough, and actually sometimes too cool when the temps drop at night
Thx for this video, I’m gonna overclock my stock ks0 pro slightly and see where it gets me.
Nice! Yeah Ive overclocked my stock KS0 Pro with this firmware and I love it. Just have to be patient and go up in small increments
@@GreaterGoodMining so you do the clock offset first and then after finding good speeds then do the voltage offset? or should you do both together?
@LostJediJC offset first until machine starts to act funny or the increase stops being effective. Then tweak up voltage a tiny bit and see how machine reacts. Then go back to tweaking up offset again
oh it is DEFINITELY silicon lottery. I have one pro running 300ghs with clocks of 275 offset / 24 mhz voltage. The board temp on this one is only 100. 2 other pros with the same upgrades/repaste/repad/copper heatsinks, the boards running near 125c. I have 3 new special edition pros that i have heat treated and i need to overclock. will use pbfarmer here as well and test. wish me luck
100% my first KS0 pro with full mods hurt my feelings and wouldn't OC past like 290ish no matter what tried. This batch of Green Machines for me has taken much more abuse so far. I hope you hit the jackpot in the silicon lottery this time around brotha!
@@GreaterGoodMining sounds like my ks0 pro cant get it to break 290
@andrewfurfaro5326 darn silicon lottery. I got so frustrated with ny first one lol
great vid mate, just wondering if anyone has looked at doing any sort of undervolting to see if they can get decent hash\watt that way instead.
Thanks I appreciate it! Yes, you can undervolt with PBfarmers firmware but I havn't tried it. If you want to test out efficiency you could try his firmware out and see how you like it!
would adding heatsinks to the metal plates on the chip side of the board not bring the board temp down
without bringing the chip temp down
lukewarmminer said some people that had problems getting them to run 340, found it helpfull adding heatsinks on the metalplates that also are there to get rid of heat
to me it looks like those plates are there to cool the board, but maby im wrong
If you want to keep your chip temps up and board temps down, get a more powerful fan and use the push pull method with two shrouds and remove the top fan off the heat sink.
What millimeter thermal pads? There are three size options on your link.
1.5mm 😉
What temperature can the chips withstand without being destroyed?
What clock offset/voltage offset are you satisfied with? I don't have to have 300gh/h but a bit more like original would be better. Better to take it easy on the device, that was expensive :-)
If you follow my other video where I show how to prep the KS0 Pro then you should be fine with overclocking. Every KS0 Pro is different and ambient temperatures matter. I recommend reading the read me file provided with the overclocks to learn how to do this properly for your own setup. My settings might not work well for your KS0 Pro
@@GreaterGoodMining I am currently using your setting as at the beginning of the video
Clock offset 125
Voltage offset 0
261/243 GH/s better than standard
watch then see further :-)
@Wurstsuppe100 that's the way to do it :] tweak it up a little at a time and watch to make sure it behaves. Good luck and have fun with it!
Would media blasting the powder coating off help with cooling? I don't have any miners (just ordered 2 kso ultras), im guessing the hole thing is aluminium? I would think bare aluminium would be best for heat transfer
That's not really necessary. The bottle neck is the power stages getting too hot. The heat sink works fine for dissipating heat especially if you use a higher quality thermal paste and pad. The chip temps aren't as much of an issue especially if you use a shroud kit
Is it okay to just take the two side panels off to have it breath better or should they stay on? I’m just running a dual usb fan below the base blowing up. No oc’s on.
Yep you can take the side panels off no problem. I do that too just to keep temps down a bit. If you're worried about anything getting into the miner you could buy side grates from Meter Box
@@GreaterGoodMining thanks. What about cutting a piece of HVAC air filter and taping it to cover the ends?
Love you videos brother.
Question. Did you get any Ks0 regular versión? If so, can you overclock it over 170ghs?
Hi thanks I appreciate it! Yes I've got a regular KS0 at around 180 to 185 gigahash. Didn't modify it, just put a Axial 1238 on top and aimed it down to the heatsink. I should've tried to do a video on that one too.
Amazing content 👏
Thank you I appreciate it! Hopefully it helps someone somewhere 🙂
@@GreaterGoodMining Ohh it will trust me I'm taking notes I have 4 Pros and your Vids have helped me a lot have a wonderful day.
@@GerardoBernardino love it, that's great to hear! Have fun with those KS0 Pros!!
Question - you mention stability. Is that refering to only the power stage / chip temp - or does it include the hash rates?
2 Hr hash rate is 338 - but 5 min has a swing of 30 GH/s (1 hour range - low 323 / high 360). 30 min avg - 340.
KS0 Pro - added heatsinks, new pads, MX-6 paste and upgraded PSU. Fruition shrouds with AC infinity blowing into the ethernet side - est 30% fan. 400Mhz / 46mV. Power stage avg 87 - no spike over 93. Chip temp avg solid @ 48 / max 51.Chip voltage avg also solid @ 438 / 443 max .
Sounds like you're getting great results! The 5 minute and 30 minute will fluctuate like that, it is normal. Instability means the rig will crash or your hahsrate will drop drastically and stay there.
If I just overclock the core clock and don't touch the voltage would the power draw go up?
Yes you'll draw more power and your voltage will drop
So i have 2 of them and 240 and 15 give me 320 i think that's pretty good miner tem is 59c
Nice! Yeah 320 is really good 👍 My first one I could never get it over 300
Is it possible to use a 20 volt power supply for the ks0pro?
Yes, if you check the link to the one I recommend, it is 20 volt
Hi ..Had you made the same test with a PSU of 12 Volts ?
No I stick with the laptop psu I have in the description of the video. 19 to 20v
how to reduce power board temperatures on ks0 pro?
Can't seem to find an answers anywhere.
309 gh/s - 275mhz/34mv.
Can i reduce board temp without loosing hashrate?
Board temp between 99 and 106 all the time, i don't like it...
Added 4 x 5x5x6 heatsinks, can't find the tall ones, change thermal paste and pads. Printed a duck eth side with 120mm ac infinity style and another 120mm on top.
PSU: 230w @ 161w
What are the cfm on your fans? The ones I use are 110 cfm. You need powerful airflow to push air through the middle
@@GreaterGoodMining Maximum Speed: 3000 RPM | Airflow: 348CFM | Noise: 62dBA for 3 fans for shrouds and on top Maximum Speed: 3000 RPM | Airflow: 348CFM | Noise: 62dBA for 4 fans. Don't know if i divide the amount of cfm per fan. Sorry for the links, didn't think it through.
@@dafunkmonkey I'd be surprised if the fans you're using are 348 cfm? That's a very powerful fan lol. You need a shroud kit specifically designed to attach to the end of the KS0 Pro to blow air through the middle of the ASIC.
@@GreaterGoodMining I printed some fan shrouds for my fans, i modded my ks0 pro exactly like you did. Except for the shorter heatsinks.
@dafunkmonkey what are you intake temps? I wonder if you have a faulty temp sensor? You still have wiggle room on your voltage and clocks. What are your chip temps and power stage temps?
is this software going to work on the Ultras ?
It's being worked on right now. Not available yet. Iceriver is making it harder to overclock these machines with each new batch
@@GreaterGoodMining thanks for the reply. New sub/member😃
Did you try to overclock with the original psu? don't know if it's possible to overclock it like at 250 ghs and stay under the 120 watts.
I wouldn't bother ordering the stock PSU from Iceriver. You'd be better off getting a better one off Amazon like the one in the description of the video. If all you have available is the stock PSU I would highly recommend using a Meter Box to monitor the wattage. The closer you get to the max wattage listed on a power supply, the less efficient it gets
First🎉
WHOA! That was fast RandomMiner!!! lol
What did you use for power? 230 Watt laptop psu? I am trying an ATX PSU with The Veteran Miner cables.
@@RandomMiner I used a 230 watt laptop power supply. I put the link to the exact one use in the description :] I haven't tried The Veteran Miners cables with a HP server power supply yet but I probably will do that in a future FAFO session!
@@RandomMiner I don't think you want to do this if you're planning on OC. ATX PSUs run 12v instead of the 19.5v you're getting on the laptop PSU, meaning 63% more amps running through the barrel connector. They tend to melt or worse as they're not rated for that draw. Many people running 12v are soldering the leads directly to the boards.
i have an idea, it can be overclocked without fans in a refrig :)
Lol, but then your icecream would melt 🍦
@@GreaterGoodMining i like it that way
@RelaxMode1 lol it's probably good slightly melted
