Hey folks =)

I made a video about the NewPac beauty (Intro / Hardware Requirements / Software Setup / Profitability) and a bit of general talk and comparison. Still, I always try to keep my videos short not to waste anyone's time.
Here is the link: https://youtu.be/6BxCiO-hur4

Already featured the 2Pacs in the past. Was too late for the Compac version (my last USB miners before Gekkoscience were Block Erupters  Grin)

Cheers and thanks to all the folks involved in Gekkoscience for building truly genious devices!!

Biostar RX 580: dropping temperatures through thermalpaste & cleaning (Video)

Hey folks,

I wanted to share my recent video here for all of you interested in GPU maintenance or who are experiencing overheating cards etc.
In the following video I'm opening up an RX580 of mine (Biostar 4GB), clean it from the inside, re-apply thermalpaste and check before & after in the same mining-circumstances.

TL;DR experiment was a success, temperature drop of 8 - 9 ° C.

Video-link: https://youtu.be/Zwt67gTCL4w

P.s.: Channel ist generally about everything tech & mining and there is also a give-away running for one "TicrThing" (BTC BTC and Altcoin wireless price ticker) until December the 2nd. https://youtu.be/yj00lyC4-Zk
Cheers,

Re: Z9 list of working pools/Fork updates

i heard they locked overclock ( sad/

Make sense to lock it. Buy 3xZ9mini = 2450$ and normal Z9 = 3184. So mini's would be cheaper and faster then the Z9.

The 'lock' is FUD. Someone already reported in the main thread that they were able to over-clock it.
I have August delivery coming today, are you saying we can overclock them the same as batch 1?.. just go into advanced settings?...is it FUD that they have changed/locked?..
I have seen someone on youtube saying that the advanced settings tab is removed and something about balanced is there now...
Thank you

I don't have mine yet, but this was reported in the main Z9 mini thread.

Here is a fix for Z9mini locked overclocking: https://youtu.be/XI31hHhvYzA
Some units are same as batch 1, no problem at all, others have these strange locked "balance" and "turbo" settings which is only 500m and 550m, meh.

Did you ever get it figured out?

I ran into similar problems with Win10 and spent and afternoon troubleshooting. I've made a video about it maybe it can help you!

All the best,
P.s. More Octominer (and generally mining) content on the channel =)
