The RPM Tangem is ready! redpanda.tangem.com/ use code RPM for 10% off! best way I store my crypto like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Kaspa and a ton more.

I like it, I tried buying that miner on release day. the website went down instantly and when it came back they were sold out. They will all run at 82 deg -That is the target temp as you saw in the debug page.

Regarding fan speed you can take it apart again and pull out the third PWM wire from the fan connectors, this way the fans will spin up to 100%. If the chip temperature is 82 and you get around the same on the heatsink/exhaust it means that the heat transfer from chips to the heatsink is good but the heatsink size or airflow is not enough. Or in the debug view I think there were some temperature-fan speed commands/rules so if those can be edited you could do it this way as well.

Haha shoutout to me!

I think whatever Iceriver is about to release will be way better than this Goldshell box. Would love the hashrate though 😋

Thank you very much for the test and showing the hardware. I was looking to purchase this miner but now that it gets so hot I doubt that I will. Thank you once again.

RPM knows all the tricks! The debug page blew my mind.

Said it before, I'll say it again. The new KA Gold shell fire starter Thanks for the breakdown RPM cool to see their heatsink solution. Was actually thinking to create something similar for the Ks0 Pro by combining some flat copper plates and some Frankenstein combo...

Great video , mine is on the way, i will put extra cooling fan on it I olso have 2 ks1 , but those are screaming in my shed, onestly i am glad that the goldshel is so quiet , gretings from eu romania

A 4090 used to perform 2200mh/s at 290w on kaspa just one year ago! this one can make 1.15Ghz/s at 400w, it's hashrate of 520 x 4090s using less than 2 4090 power!! impressive how fast those miners develop! very interesting video! thanks for sharing!

Great teardown. Most of the Goldshell units run around 80 C because that's what their fan curve is set to keep them at. Would be nice if there was a manual fan control option in their UI especially since it is so easy to change the fans if you burn one out.

I'm looking to buy one..and while doing more research, I came across your video. Thanks for the teardown.. Seems like a pretty solid unit

Mine runs the same temp 82. I’m running mine on 120v and it’s about 440watts at the wall. Going to try and make up some sort of 3d print to see if it helps with cooling. I’m happy with it!!!

I think the KA box is sweet! EPIC intro! The manual literally said "Have troubles? Don't dissassemble!" lol But I love that you took it apart, very cool to see this lil miners guts

KA Box have high efficiency, but looks on the temperature it was make me think twice to buy it... I think we need a custom casing. Try to make a holes on both side and install new fan to exhaust the heat

Thanks for the indepth review. Was thinking about getting one. It seemed like a good idea, but the heat.. was planning to mine at home with it

KA box would be the best home miner but price is little bit in the high end :D Great video RPM

In it for the long game bro.

00:13 ohhh seductive 07:19 jiezz cryse 15:40 the KA Box looks better made than the KS0 Pro but what the heck man. why can no one figure out thermal interface material.

Did the power supply come with the miner or do I have to buy that sepeartely ?

Looks like gold shell has another kaspa mining box. These boxes always need optimal cooling. Great review video. Keep it up. OntarioMiner Canada

Nice review. I think it should have cost less than 1k USD for it to be viable for small home miners. The high temps are not a surprise, 400W is a lot for such a small heatsink.

Thanks for the teardown video RPM, although it runs got what was temperature day later after the thermal paste has time to settle and cook a while ? Looks compact build and you had no issues setting it up so that is a plus side to it. But can mod or firmware change for can control looks like a.just if them temperatures do not come down. Ship that hash to UK lol, cheers Panda

KA miner looks great! looking to get one, once it is available again, that is.. Thanks for the teardown, hope mine won't go up in flames haha :)

i like the sound level for a descent hashrate for inhouse mining, but it can also be used as an air fryer :D

would suggest that next time you do the teardown as a final step, so you can get true 'out of the box' performance

I would suggest having a copper heatsink manufactured for it or at the least install copper shims for safety reasons and better thermal paste

Thanks for the tear down on this hot box!

I really like the size profile of these goldshell boxes but seems like better cooling is a must though!

Ok panda.. There actually is a way to change the fan speed on box miners. It doesn't always stay though. So once you are in the box miner settings click the miner tab on the left. After that under pool settings it will show the word Miner above the temperature monitor. Click the text that says Miner 10 times and fan settings will pop up.

@@RedPandaMining Didn't know that I don't have any of the recent ones.

Thanks for the video! It was very informative for those thinking of buying one of these. That is some hot stuff.

Nice. I was thinking of getting some to use with unmineable to collect some other coins, one for each coin, but now I think ill pass. Good work with the analysis.

Thanks for the teardown! At least it's a good heater? Perhaps they will improve this.

Yep, still got the bubblegum paste on the KS0 Pro. That KA box is hot! Would love the 24 hr hashrate.

I agree with most the price is a bit high but an awesome miner by the looks of it. Can the Target Temp not be changed?

Just got my Kas edition today. I would totally buy one of those goldshell boxes. Im jealous. I like it.

That’s wild…. The MiniDoge 3 had crazy issues also. I always thought of goldshell as having some of the better quality standards. Until this past December when I got those MD3’s - I only had a problem ever with 1 goldshell miner and it was after it ran perfectly for 6 months. They must’ve changed their quality control practices or something OR are comfortable selling residentially geared box miners which I think of as entry-level that average temps that would cause my 3kW+ miners to shut down for safety. I supported goldshell for a long time but as a farm owner/reseller/asic service tech - I don’t think I’ll be actively working with this brand going forward.

Nice Homeminer! The KA Box is perfect for low power mining and heating 👍🏻

Goldshell box miners are super hot. They definitely need secondary fans. But I'd still like to have the KA Box. Awesome video RPM!

I'm positive I could use that hash. Does that count?

For some reason I didnt realize their were asics that had wifi antennas. Thats cool. Makes sense for home miners.

What pool are you mining to with the goldshell KA box? Mine is getting tons of hardware errors temp is 57 C any ideas???

I honestly believe that every miner and standard computing device has a purpose to bring profitability, but as we are *only about 100 years into (Computing Technology) in general, we as humans will continue to make unknown mistakes and upgrade or try to fix faults when they become known as a whole. Their design most likely created some sort of rattle or hum from the internals and the placement/amount of screw bolts created a diffuser for the sound emittance. I love every machine profitable or not. I think they lacked testing quality before they shipped it to you in my opinion. It seems the first generation of everything made nowadays lacks in all aspects in some way. Things from the prior generations were built with quality over quantity. It seems sometimes the market cuts corners in today's times. I hope everyone has a good year and is prosperous in their ventures!

low power asics are awesome but for what they charge they should have a little higher standard of quality. you shouldn't have to worry about overheating or melting plugs/connectors, repasting anything or buying additional accessories to keep it from burning itself up

brand new Goldshell KA Box already pushing out that much heat .. extar fans is a must on this unit

Red Panda Mining 82* is the target temp for the KA Box, 84+* is considered overheating, for some reason chips for kaspa mining needs to run hotter than normal, but 82* is normal for the KA Box

boss pls tell me i put for power only 6 pin its ok or should be put 12 pin in power supply what the best

Did you ever re-thermal paste? Any mods available yet?! I just got mine up and running. Would like solutions to keep it operating safely

Wow! That is very hot for stock firmware. It will definitely need additional cooling fans or a Goldshell firmware fan rpm increase and/or controller.

Wish I had one of these. Keep the great content coming sir!!

Nice goldshell box. Efficiency for home miner is nice

CONGRATS BRO EMAIL ME CONTACT@REDPANDAMINING.COM WITH YOUR KASPA ADDRESS AND WHICH MINING POOL YOU WANT THE 24HOUR hashrate.

bought one KA box looks like a good deal to me im excited to get it in

All my goldshell miners run about those temps. It seems pretty normal for them, so I dunno if it's anything to worry about. Although I do wish they'd allow fan control on the miners.

I like on this Goldshell miner how the size is, low watts and not bad hash power compare to KS1. Anyway the temp what you measured are not right I think.

Why was there so much paste everywhere? Are they only available to the hardcore miners right now. That is cool with the debug tip, KMSG normally refers to kernel logs in Linux. What should the temperature be in your opinion, the KD BOX 2 runs at 78 c. Since target temp was showing 82 its right on the money at 82 and if they set for 82 if you were introduce more fans or shrouds that most likely would pull the fan speed down to get the temp back to its target.

KA box specs are amazing, price is a bit high in my opionion. Thanks for another great video RPM!

I love these mini goldshell miners, good job on rpm.

I agree, temps are way to warm for my liking. I wouldn't be comfortable running this with temps that high. It does have a great hashrate compared to the power it uses.

The KA Box looks cool and probbaly easy for a home miner to have at home. Sence its so small in size and wattage use and also so silent. Wattage compared to ths looks good aswell. Thanks for this RPM!

Love the video and content sir! I like all these great miners!

I'm looking to buy this KA box but now after this hummm not sure...maybe the fan are bogus ? Thanks for the debug mode hint

Love the low wattage use, home friendly! :)A little steep price, but live the vid RPM!

Very cool this new kaspa miner!! I have 6 Ks0Pro (No overclock) that i like!! The temp ( 82 ) is way to high.

My opinion about it is that its good for the power consumption but a bit risky to buy for people who mine with not a lot of miner. And you're crazy for opening those two miners right away!

It's a nice home miner but the temps are a bit of an issue for me. I see fully electric saying 82C is normal but I think if I got one I would repaste it for peace of mind.

Agreed, those temps need to come down. Shouldn't have to mod something brand new. Someone will print out a new shroud soon. Feeling a bit disappointed at the KA Box after this video. Thanks RedPanda!

I'd love to get a KA box, I just think the price is a lil too high at the moment. If the price goes down, I'll buy one

I missed out on Kaspa , but this will put me in the game. Great video

Alot of my Goldsehll Box run very hot. They scare me sometimes, wish there was higher cooling rpm option. Thanks RPM❤

I setup my KD BOX II and MINI DOGE II last night and they run hot even in the low power mode. The hardware errors on the KD BOX II keeps increasing so maybe an issue with the chips.

I'm glad I got some ks0 pros! thanks for the video

I got mine sent from IR to Australia the other day. Nice colour, seems hotter than the other black ones though

As always discovering ourselves, the secrets of mining. I see this box as a great product, for those whose budget, energy consumption level is limited and noise may be limiting when choosing.

80C for a home miner is surely calling for trouble for a home mining box 😬 I did order two of them, and will be looking forward to meter box' cooling mod!!!

USA - The KA Box with a separate control card seems solid. I mean dual heatsinks top and bottom, two fans to cool it 1.2 TH hashrate ... However ... Price is out of reach but significantly more efficient than the KS0 Pro!

what if I just have residential power? Is there a way to get my 240v power supply to get some juice? Some type of converter? Sorry for the noob question.. just got my KA box and it's not powering on haha.. assuming cuz I don't have the juice for it

@johndonajelon21

Yeah goldshell sells a dual power PSU

Would love to have one once the thermal issue is fixed!!

I was planning on getting a few KS0 Pros, but with this having the base hashrate of 6 of those and the power draw of only 4, I think I might get one of these instead.

It is definitely lower in watts than the og iceriver ks1. That seems hot but i would imagine a meterbox addon would make that go down to the 70s

I thought getting under a sundress feels good, but damn, having Panda opening a KS0 Pro is getting close to that. Opinion on KA box ? Magic china box. Feels more like a lottery miner. Put in on solo and forget about it. Also, its hot as hell

im very positive - ive been trying to get hold of one of those goldshell miners but they arent out yet :( i want to run it on solar system 😀

I was looking at buying a Goldshell Mini Doge / LTC miner just yesterday. Glanced at these. Are the Doge Miners just as bad with thier Heat? I am not expecting to get rich off a Mini Doge miner, but would you recommend one ?

Doge coin miner is too old to be profitable anumode

I believe in the 20 GPU rig build. Keep the vids coming rpm

It might run hot, but I still think it's an awesome little unit! I've been wanting a KS1, but they're never available. Plus the KA box is more efficient, and in a smaller package that can run on 120v, wifi to boot! Hopefully I'll be able to grab one if they restock before the price goes too crazy. A shroud kit would be awesome especially if later firmware allows overclocking.

Goldshell box miners run hot. I have a few mini doges they run at a 70C constant out of the box. I'm not even comfortable with that. I replaced the internal fans immediately

I think the KA box could be a great unit, I have used their miners before and they work well. I just wish it was a little less expensive

Goldshell is very high price. Might as well get a full size asic s19k for under $2000. only thing ok about is the low noise and watts. But would like to have some kaspa. only have bitcoin miners..

Wow… I have ordered one of this and everything looks great except for the high temps🥲 I did not expect that… We will have to figure out some external fan configuration.. at least I like that it is almost silent…

I think the KA Box may be a bit overpriced, but I also love that it's more than the KS1 hashrate, less power and is a GS BOX format. If you could actually get this thing, you could stack a bunch of them in the same space a KS1 fits. Thanks for showing us the guts! Also, could someone invent electronic devices that get COLDER the more they run! I could AC my house. I live in the South so there's not much need for the heat off these things!

Have to say that this one is a good looking miner, hope it keeps performing good over the time!

The 6 pins for 400 watts is what worries me, already had a mini doge box burn the 6 pin up too..

I like that we have another cheaper option like the KSO Pro, but i dont like all the adjustments that have to be made.

It needs some direct fan blasted at those heatsinks. Hasrate is sick for this small box though

KA Box seems to be a nice competitor to the ks1 however the launch was a bit of a disaster that was handled badly by Goldshell. Not sure if I would rather have this or 4 OC KS0

That is crazy that Goldshell sent out a box that gets that hot in average temps like that. Get some air moving through that thing!

Devices that are ahead of the competition are always welcome, because then the competition makes better ones. So My opinion about new miner is positive. Greetings from Norway.

There is one more "secret" in the goldshell webui and it for overclocking. It even has a RPM setting i never played around with

Thats a hot box for sure. I love the idea of these small home miners but I feel their lifespan is super short compared to full sized asics which makes me reluctant to get one for myself

82c is really not bad, modern AMD CPU’s target over 90 degrees. They could target a bit lower to account for higher ambient temperature environments but it’s aimed at homes so maybe not a priority.

More efficient than the KS1 However, I would be concerned with the heat output of it. Almost sounds like the fans are undersized in terms of CFM.

Thanks RPM for the KA Box review.I think the price should be a tad lower and definitly needs better cooling.
