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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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 ?
why the fan speed (RPM) is 2220 in your miner as per the specifications of the miner it was claimed that it has a fan speed of 4500 RPM may be that will be the problem of overheating
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!!!
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...
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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
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 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
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 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
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
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
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.
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..
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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!!!
box seems good but im kinda worried about the temps that u were getting stock with out changing any of the thermal paste nothing u cant fix hopefully but for the price there selling them u would think they would of tried it and really stress tested it and seen that its was getting hot on the board..... from Canada
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.
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.
Well... I was planning on getting a KA Box... now maybe I'll just stick to accumulating KS0 pro's... Would be nice to win the hashrate for a day though!
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…
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!
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
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!
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.
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!
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 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.

RPM knows all the tricks! The debug page blew my mind.
I think whatever Iceriver is about to release will be way better than this Goldshell box. Would love the hashrate though 😋

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

Doge coin miner is too old to be profitable anumode
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
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?
why the fan speed (RPM) is 2220 in your miner as per the specifications of the miner it was claimed that it has a fan speed of 4500 RPM may be that will be the problem of overheating
What pool are you mining to with the goldshell KA box? Mine is getting tons of hardware errors temp is 57 C any ideas???
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!!!
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.
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...
I'm positive I could use that hash. Does that count?
Looks like gold shell has another kaspa mining box. These boxes always need optimal cooling. Great review video. Keep it up. OntarioMiner Canada

Ill test that but I know in recent previous Goldshell models they have disabled that and in new firmwares too for other models
@@RedPandaMining Didn't know that I don't have any of the recent ones.
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.
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
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
Yeah goldshell sells a dual power PSU

KA BOX What Can I say about this box -- well its small and it black but can it make me money??????????????
KA BOX is a bit late into Kaspa mining game I guess if its mining rewards are decreasing every month

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.
I would suggest having a copper heatsink manufactured for it or at the least install copper shims for safety reasons and better thermal paste
Where to buy this miners?
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..
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.

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
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.
I got 1 comming, probably same batch, i don't like how much thermal paste it all over it. Please do update vid on re-paste n cleaning❤
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
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!!!
The 6 pins for 400 watts is what worries me, already had a mini doge box burn the 6 pin up too..
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.
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
Is this a 110v???
would suggest that next time you do the teardown as a final step, so you can get true 'out of the box' performance
box seems good but im kinda worried about the temps that u were getting stock with out changing any of the thermal paste nothing u cant fix hopefully but for the price there selling them u would think they would of tried it and really stress tested it and seen that its was getting hot on the board..... from Canada
I was gonna say, how many warranties do you get on that thing, thats a lot to void just to get in there. sheesh.
That’s wild…. The MiniDoge 3 had crazy issues also. I always thought of goldshell as having some of the better quality standards.

Yep, still got the bubblegum paste on the KS0 Pro. That KA box is hot! Would love the 24 hr hashrate.
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.
I think the Goldshell box miners just run hot. I have 6 boxes (KDA, CKB, and one HS) and they all run 84c in my garage
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
My KS1 doing 50 KAS a day and about to drop. This emissions schedule is too painful to justify additional miners.
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
Thanks for the video! It was very informative for those thinking of buying one of these. That is some hot stuff.
Well... I was planning on getting a KA Box... now maybe I'll just stick to accumulating KS0 pro's... Would be nice to win the hashrate for a day though!
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…
Just use a push pull fan set up no need for 3d printing
Most asics for KASPA run to hot for me.I don't want my farm to burn down and why I stay away from mining KASPA.
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!
Nice machine, Im buying One for me. Greetings from Portugal
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
I like that we have another cheaper option like the KSO Pro, but i dont like all the adjustments that have to be made.
I really like the size profile of these goldshell boxes but seems like better cooling is a must though!
nice product and efficiency, but too expansive, please compare the number os asics...
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.
KA box looks nice, but it may never ROI. Thanks for the video.
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!
For some reason I didnt realize their were asics that had wifi antennas. Thats cool. Makes sense for home miners.
Just got my Kas edition today. I would totally buy one of those goldshell boxes. Im jealous. I like it.
There is one more "secret" in the goldshell webui and it for overclocking.
It even has a RPM setting i never played around with
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
Thanks for the tear down on this hot box!
brand new Goldshell KA Box already pushing out that much heat .. extar fans is a must on this unit
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.
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 got mine sent from IR to Australia the other day. Nice colour, seems hotter than the other black ones though
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!
Hopefully availability improves and hopefully i get that 24hour Hash
The big question is are they going to burned up in a few years.lately people are having trouble with older models
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 😀
Maybe change the fans out with higher RPM ones?
i like the sound level for a descent hashrate for inhouse mining, but it can also be used as an air fryer :D
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 gotta say, I like the physical format of these units vs the iceriver
I believe in the 20 GPU rig build. Keep the vids coming rpm
It needs some direct fan blasted at those heatsinks. Hasrate is sick for this small box though
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.
