I used 2mm pads on the vram for this card.

Thanks for the info! I will definitely try out your recommendations. I do have some good thermal pads to replace the stock ones I just wanted to see how it performed out of the box stock but now that you mention it I still haven’t swapped the pads out yet.

@@proxcrypto let me know how it goes! I'm curious to see what the results will be like!

Yes it’s about 5-6 degrees with this aftermarket cooler on the core. Since the video I removed the shroud and just run a 120mm noctua fan on the cooler. I did it to make it silent but it lowered the temp a few more degrees and I have left it that way. Also the ram runs alot cooler with this setup it dropped 10-15 degrees depending on ambient temp.

Awesome, I’m glad it helped. My card is still going strong since I did this. I haven’t had to do anything to it since, and it’s still running cool.

Hey, yes this card has been running 24/7 since the video and is still running cool. I had it on kaspa and now it’s on ergo paying out in kaspa. The v-ram uses 2mm thermal pads. It’s still performing great and staying cool.

@@proxcrypto Glad to hear that, thanks for the quick reply and the useful video! :)

@@TheTonker thanks, appreciate it!

Hey, as soon as I plug mine in, it turns on even if nothing is connected to the 6 pins.

@@proxcrypto thanks 🙏

@@poopool_Q no problem

Hey, the new fan has 3 wires, the extra wire for variable speeds is not used (no pin in plug), only the negative and full speed wire were used so fan runs full speed always. It has sufficient cooling capabilities on load tests. I only went to 1000watts on my tests as my 2 box miners only use 800watts.

Awesome, iv been really happy so far. I check it every once and a while and it’s still running cool and quiet. Just changing my wires to 16 gauge from stock 18 and I noticed there was less heat at the exhaust of psu so hopefully you have the same experience.

I am still mining on the kd box 2. I Was disappointed in the network spike but still have it on, I think iv only made about 125kda so far.

Hey, thanks for the comment. I’m glad it helped out. I am still using this card since the thermal pad upgrade and it’s been working great!

@@proxcrypto that is awesome man

@@Tablita7288 I just order the larger pads and cut them to size to be slightly larger then the ram chip. I used 2 thermal pads for 2mm for thickness. I just use a Sharp pair of scissors to cut them to size. I have a spare card here and the ram chip is about 3/4”x.5” so you would only need pads that size at minimum.

Yes you can, the wires were glued to the heat sink and component’s that’s why I just spliced it in but that would work too.

@@proxcrypto Oh I see

Thanks! It’s been working great this summer so far.👍

Awesome, thanks for the comment. I’ll have to try them out.

Hey I was using a mix of 30 gpus I bought over time but of those 30 there were 18 1660supers. I got 9x of them in a server case for 1000$ when the bear market first started and everyone was liquidating their farms. Ckb is not available anymore to mine on gpus and now I just make about 550ckb/week with my ckbox 2 mini asic.

@@proxcrypto Thanks for the reply could you suggest me cheap and best Btc mining setup ? My budget is tight

@@Lucknowazadari1 Bitcoin difficulty is very high so it takes a lot of power to mine a small amount of Bitcoin. If I was looking at gpus I’d try and find some cheap 3070s and mine a coin that’s more profitable and swap it to btc, you would yeild more on way less power. I use prohashing or unminable and it converts it automatically into your wallet so there is no swap fees. You can also do that with mini asics even if they are not mining Bitcoin you can get paid in btc at equal value. Bitcoin asics run over 3000watts and are very loud so if your going to mine btc that has to be taken into account if your smaller scale like myself. That’s how I’m doing it anyway, if I had the room I’d love to have a few Bitcoin asics but I can’t support the power draw and noise.

Haha, that’s one way to find out 🤣

Yup I definitely learned the hard way but I won’t be making that mistake again! One of those “I can’t believe I did that moments”!

Hey thanks! there is lots of room on the backside where back of motherboard is, I’m sure you could fit a dvd somewhere there. It looks like there would be some options. I noticed some of the listings include a handle and some don’t. Here is one with included handle: PC Computer Case, ATX/M-ATX/ITX Open Chassis Vertical Overclocking Test Platform Chassis Rack + Handle with Good Heat Dissipation(Red) a.co/d/bqi2EnJ Mine didn’t come with a handle but it can also be purchased separately: Handle,Aluminum Alloy Open Chassis Platform Handle for Computer Motherboard Chasis Shell Part,Easily Take Test Platform Away by Gripping The Handle,Ergonomic Design,Only for Our Test Platform www.amazon.ca/dp/B07XZ16TDT?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_RR3ARZJEMJTD5V85WTDK

@@proxcrypto Thanks for info. I am thinking to put ASUS SAGE on it with CPU fan similar you put (no trust for liquid heat sink). Just wonder, do you think it possible to put 2 motherboards on each side sharing one power supply (such splitters exist on AMZN)?

Yes 2 would totally fit if you were to mount them on opposite sides. The kit actually come with a few spare adjustable motherboard mount’s depending on what size board you use. Only thing that’s in the way is my power supply, but it can be slid over and another board would fit. That would be a pretty cool build, great idea!

@@proxcrypto Yes I was thinking instead to ATX boxes just one open design for 2 motherboards.

Thank you!

They are very nice during the summer, gives me some extra confidence while I’m away at work for the day if something was to ever go wrong!

@ProxCrypto Thiis will be my first summer mining in my garage in Florida before was just one gpu rig in the AC of the house. Fingers crossed I don't make my garage a sauna

@@td1938 well good luck! At least we have some choices of cooler running algorithms so far this year if it gets really hot 👍👍

@@proxcrypto 👍👍

Thank you! That’s awesome that you said that! I was actually thinking the same thing and I have a adjustable fan controller on the way to turn down the fans when I’m mining on cooler algorithms.

Thank you for the great quality!! Very happy with my purchase! Keep up the great work.

Awesome I’m glad I could help, thanks for the sub!!

@@proxcrypto I used your referral code when I signed up. I appreciate your work.

@@tianinc thank you, I appreciate it!

I bought my Goldshell mini box asics off Amazon just because it was the fastest way to ship to my location and they were sold out on release but there seems to be more batches now.(it’s much cheaper straight from Goldshell)To find the server cases I actually just went on Facebook marketplace and when someone advertised a gpu as “used for mining” I would ask if they had anything else mining related to sell. I was lucky enough to find someone that ran a facility with hundreds of servercases. They were selling out because they mined ethereum and paid most of the hardware off so everything was just getting cleared out as fast as possible.

My FAVORITE are the EVGAs.

I definitely agree these are the hottest 1660s. I overclocked this particular one the same as all my others and it has been good since I put in the thermal pads in but it still runs hotter then all my others(except bios modded ones)My personal favourite are the msi 1660 super gaming x version but I run 10 evga 1660 supers and they have been awesome, they run cool and are nice to manage during the hot summer.

Thank you!

Yup, exactly. Prohashing just has some coins unmineable doesn’t have.

@@proxcrypto interesting.

The 8800 of us using prohashing still do this….

@@proxcrypto 😆

@@proxcrypto 8800 is a very small number

@@ghostnights8538 ok, do you have a recommendation where to mine ckb on a gpu that’s better?

@@ghostnights8538 8800 is a pretty big number.

Hey, thanks for the comment. I just made it a quick guide on how to mine it assuming that people already have mined to a pool. When you mine you set your card/cards to a pool, that’s the specific website I’m referring to because it’s the only one I found that offers ckb. It’s the prohashing pool. I think ill do a separate video on how to use prohashing pool as a follow up so it makes more sense for newer miners. I probably should have done that video first.

@@proxcrypto Yes i am mininig to a pool, just looking for other metods in mining space. When i saw your video it was like what is this? This algo you mention is for asic i recon. Is it profitable for gpu mining?

You can choose whatever algorithm you want on your gpus and it will auto convert it to ckb. I just used kapow algorithm in my video as an example but you can use any gpu algorithm you want to use. The profitability will depend on what algorithm you want to use.

@@proxcrypto ok i figure out that part its nicehash thing. Can i use linux based OS for setup or its windows based?

@@blekibabic it works on both. I’m currently running the prohashing pool on hiveos on my server miners and I’m running it on my windows computer also (the computer I used for the example in the video). basically it’s just giving you your .bat file or for hiveos your “flight sheet” and once you setup your payouts on the website on the payout page everything should be good to go.

He definitely does make some good cables. I was very happy to get these in and thank you!!

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Hello, the fan will pull the voltage it requires, so my noctua fans are rated for less watts and amps then the factory fan in my powersupply but once connected they only pull the power they require from the powersupply. So if you should be ok to swap out for a fan that uses the same or less power. You just never want to install a fan rated at a higher power level or you could burn out the fan controller because it will try to pull more power then the stock fan was rated for.
