Bad ass!! I’ve gotten into soldering once switch some switches on a mouse for my wife and started 3d printing after starting my to learn CAD programs and now you’ve peaked my interest in designing micro chips!! Need you as an mentor
@The_English_Miner The main power gets converted down to 1.7v by the mosfets, so as long as it's within the specs of all the components along the way, it works perfectly.
@@crypto440 yeah thats makes perfect sense.... So theoretically speaking, Running it on a 12v PSU, is actually more beneficial to it? stepping down 12v to 1.7v is easier.. Less heat produced on the mosfets etc... Would that be correct?
So you went from 19.5 volts to 12 volts. But increased amperage to compensate? How much power are you using and what are clocks? It should be more efficient in theory due to lower voltage, but you cannot overclock it more.
Chump did a comparison on it, I believe, when he switched to server power supply and used barrel jack adapters from the veteran miner. I don't own a pro to test the limits of 12v.
@ZenTauren I see, yes, many people do that, but the week point is the barrel jack Especially if you start overclocking on 12v. My goal was to eliminate the possibility of the barrel jack failing by replacing it entirely. Plus, you don't need any adapters in the end. I now have a direct plug swap for these that does not require the adapter board. Just desolder the barrel jack and solder it in its place.
A 6 pin is a bit unnecessary. You could have gone to a 4 pin connector, and made the proper modifications to the PCB without having to resort to a daughter board.
Yes, you are right. However, I didn't want to make any modifications whatsoever to the board. I wanted to use a standard 6pin because it's what everyone has. I may already have something on the way that will make the daughter board unnecessary.
@@crypto440 I understand that. I just thought you're maybe making things more difficult and pricier than what they have to be with the added cost of a daughter board. I was just thinking that trying to isolate the top center most (to the board) ground off the ground plain by cutting a small stripe of copper around the via, and then bridging the gap of that via after you isolate it to the positive power side, and then applying some new solder mask to cover things up. Then you can use the existing holes probably with some small tweaking to the 4 pin connector since I'm sure it doesn't line up perfect. Interesting to see what you have in mind that makes the daughter board unnecessary.
What a time to be alive. From a 6-8 month waiting period for pcb manufacturing just 20 years ago, to 3 days. 🤯
My thoughts exactly

Thanks! sounds like your on the right path. problem for me as soon as I start to learn something new than go way to deep. 😆
Dude SICK! Love it!
Have you tried this on an al0 yet … this is my first video ive seen and looks super easy after u made the board … $$$ take my money
@@IDK_Mining I'm quite sure the updated conversion connector would work
@@crypto440 your saying the 6pin to barrel plug
@@IDK_Mining yeah ruclips.net/video/brWaWaHRlo4/видео.html
Greetings from soat locals! cool disassemble video!
@Crypto440 Excellent work soldering. Can you do a conversion from the orginal barrel to usb C power only? That would be entersting.
Your wish is my command. 😅
Damm definitely can tell this is not your first rodeo..... great job ....wish it came factory with 6 pin
Wouldn't it be easier to simply pull the pins out of the PCIe plug and swap them around to correct the polarity?
Actually, I tried this, but it destroys the plug. Link is in the description for the simple solution that I came up with.
In the place where the memory comes into contact with the radiator, the paint must be cleaned.
Btliant🎉
i dont own a ks0, so dont really know..
But arent the factory power supplies 19v?
How does it work on a 12v input from a PCI-Express connector?

@The_English_Miner In theory, but when you lower voltage, it would increase the amperage up to that point.
Nice

Where can i get the chip you used?
Its been updated check out this video ruclips.net/video/brWaWaHRlo4/видео.htmlsi=A3GYO8yFqDDDZ9fo
What if you use one of those PCI to barrel jack adapters?
Please do explain?
@@crypto440 there are these PCIE to barrel plug adapters you can buy from China, wouldn't that work without any modification?
@@ZenTauren are you talking about the plug adapter?
@@crypto440 going straight from a PSU PCI-E connector to the regular plug on the KS0.

Bad risk
