I SHOULDA KNOWN…

hey guys RPM here hope you're doing well having a really great day all right this video I am wanting to accomplish adding 10 of the octom minor x12s on my red husky shelf and I'm going to achieve that with these pcsp octom Miner x12s I got them a couple weeks back now I am motivated to unbox them all and put them on the Shelf I still have about nine more in the boxes here I'm going to make sure all the PCI cables are pushed in make sure they hopefully work and yeah because I need to start getting these up as hopefully it feels like you know the Market's coming back up I know we've had some chop over the past year but I feel like it's a better time than any to you know start getting these things up before it potentially gets you know harder and difficult and just to like open up with like a statement I think buying GPU mining Hardware right now would probably be the best idea because because you know these octom Miner x12s with the 470s and I'm not saying the 470s are good for mining cuz they're definitely not efficient anymore of course depending on your electric I think right now the 478 GB cards are breaking even at around 8 cents per kilowatt hour which I'm at 8 cents per kilowatt hours my current power cost okay if I had like 15 or 20 cent per kilowatt hour yeah I would not be mining here in the barn okay but because I have a decent lower electrical rate I am able to mine here okay So eventually though I am going to take out these 47 8 GB cards and most of them and replace them with other gpus but that'll be for another video okay and some other things actually before I unbox all these octom miners I also need to change my pdus on my husky rack here I have been using these pdus here I think these are ones I got from ah I think it was nerd gears a way back maybe four four 5 years ago maybe Alibaba these pdus I have been using for quite a long time and so I'm going to take those two out and I'm going to replace them with the nerd gears new version 3 metered pdu all right it has a wattmeter in the pdu itself and it has a bunch of c14 plugs here and also some c19 plugs so I am going to use that I know it looks like I have a different one here uh nerd gears did send me their first uh variant of this actually but it's basically the same without the Locking uh locking mechanism here which their first variant here doesn't have but they're new one on their website if you guys are interested link down below to nerd gears.com for their metered pdu okay and another thing I really need to work on first actually before I do anything is make sure my connections here for my two 230m 240 volt circuits are okay I haven't touched these for a long time you can see one I have here that's just dangling here with a Rock meter which seems to work but uh it should not be hanging like this so I'm going to just clean this all up I'm going to turn off everything and then I'm going to install the new pdus okay so let me do that right now okay I got to turn off this uh octom Miner here if I'm going to turn off the power and right now it's using about 1190 Watts almost 12200 watts and uh yeah I just realized as if I'm going to have these 10 octom Miner x12s all turned on and if I were to mine let's say block X which I've been mining block X on this rig that means I'm probably going to take up almost 6,000 watts per all right 240 volt pdu all right so I will probably have to try to undervolt these a bit more so that you know I'm not going to yeah take a lot of power and go over the you know 80% rule on my 240 volt okay going to turn these off and turn off the power switch out the pdus okay I got the power back on I just made sure that on this one here I kind of half-assed it this uh cover I I don't have my extra meter box stuff here and I was going to convert these two boxes into just normal like you know normal 240 volt 30m uh Outlets like covers and stuff I don't have them here but I did make sure the connections on the uh Outlet itself was good so that's good now all the pdus I have swapped out the two pdus the old ones here now I want to give these away now I don't know if I trust myself to give these away these pdus have been used for almost 4 to 5 years so I don't know if I want to risk it but just comment down below what you think about this video and if you're in USA and Canada then I'll choose the winner after 24 hours to whoever wants these two okay comment only if you want these okay pdus are up just to show you guys here they have the drock meters in them okay this other pdu here from nerd gears is on that looks good all right so it dawned on me and I definitely should have thought of this before but these OCTA miners that I have here okay the pcsp ones they have three hot swappable HP server power supply 750 WTS and so what I will require is is and this one's dead actually this one does not turn on what I require is three C13 plugs that go into the pdu now do I have enough C13 going as to c14 into each pdu definitely not if I had 10 octom miners right so I'd go 10 * 3 that's 30 c113 to c14 plugs which I definitely don't have so I have I think six on this pdu and and then I have another six on that pdu so a total of 12 like c14 ends which I'll need 30 so you guys see the issue there right I need like 30 of these and then 30 of these so I think this video might be halted here I will need to order a bunch of these okay this end which is the c14 end and then goes into 3 C13 okay a splitter cable I'm on infinite cables not that I don't think anyone's going to order these but these pcps it didn't come with that power cable so that's my solution I will need to get a splitter cable that goes into a single uh c14 now there are two uh c19 ends there c19 to C20 so if there's a like a c19 to Triple C13 cable that might be something and I was trying to look for that on Amazon I I see this but it's only a splitter and it cost $35 for that cable which is insane so I think I'm going to order this from infinite cables I'm going to order like I don't know 10 or 11 I might order just 20 of them just to have but $19 Canadian about I'm going to say $1 13 $14 USD but I need it right I need it in order to have that power support for the 10 octom miners in these two pdus man it smells like something died in here uh that's why I had the exhaust fan on I'm going to turn this back on I'm probably going to get sick okay I have this on I have the door open as well need to exhaust out this smell all right let's unbox one of these OCTA Miner x12s I don't think I'm going to do all of them in this video because I just like I said the power cable situation we're going to be limited there so let me unbox this first one let's check it out okay unbox successfully and I lied to you guys the pcsp cases do come with power cables but they're the Nema plugs the 120 volt plugs which this is definitely not going to work for me okay so yeah it doesn't come with the splitter cable or anything like that so I'm definitely going to order that uh triple C13 to uh c14 cable okay let's see if there's any damage on this one and uh just to give you guys some info the first one that I unboxed it did have a dislodged PCI cable from the I guess this is the Breakout board the hot swappable power supply area here so it's always good to triple check just to make sure nothing is dislodged in the octom miners because you never know right you never know if something is loose even make sure all the uh PCI going into the mother oh see this one was a little bit loose I pushed in a bit more the ones that are going into the motherboard you need to make sure because any Loop PCI cables you just never know right you just never know that's a common thing that I've been seeing with like octo Miners and uh server cases you know the gpus the cables aren't pushed in all the way and it could cause a fire and we've seen that with the rec picks that we've been doing and uh that happened to some people so again it's always good to make sure when you receive these things from anybody in shipping especially it's just good to make sure that these are all plugged in nothing seems to be uh loose or anything so this one looks to be pretty clean yeah this second octom Miner X12 yeah this one looks this one looks good all right I'm going to put the lid back on and I'm going to place it right here and we got this first one that's already Mining and it's taking 1,300 Watts right now 1340 now let's see if in the hios it shows the true power here I'm going to refresh that okay this whole rig is mining block X right now on these 478 GB cards all right we're at 348 Watts true power all right 348 and on the meter it says 320 so that looks to be that looks to be almost spoton maybe if I refresh it here I bet you it might change let's see yeah 325 now 325 it shows, 1300 on the pdu so I'm going to say about 20 watts off maybe it was ramping down here yeah 316 now 316 Watts we're at 1280 1290 Watts okay so yeah I'm going to say about a good 20 to 25 watts off from the web goey oh why do these feel so heavy there than before okay all right power supplies are facing the bottom okay all right there we go second octom Miner in all right I'm going to turn it on and I realized I need to reformat the SSD most likely yes let me do that yes it's mining successfully now oh there we go there we we go two are up another eight more to go so I'm going to Blue Ball you guys I'm extremely OCD because of my cables so you guys can see my issue here the cables that I have to power these octom miners are extremely long and also of course the issue of I don't have enough C13 c14 plugs for the octom miners the three power supplies on each octom Miner so I'm going to order a bunch of cables right now as of recording and as well as network cables as well I'm going to make sure I get the pretty short lengths so that it's going to go into my HP switch and of course the 3T and 6t uh power cables I'm going to have the pdus pretty close I'm going to have them like in the back in the back down there and then another one uh behind there so the power supplies are all in the back of the these octom Miners and I'm just going to have them pretty much just go right down there so three Footers I bought some six-footers just in case so that should be good but yeah right now I it just it just irks me I'm sure it irks you guys as well look at this this is not right this is this is not right I cannot have it like this so I am not going to put up any more octom miners until I get those cables I know that's my easy way out on this I should have thought of this before I did all this but hey at least these two are working now we are using let's see 26 42 4 2630 Watts 2620 it's fluctuating quite a bit but look at that almost 1, 12200 uh megahash of block x with 24 rx470 RX 470s it is this is not not profitable at all but hey I think I am at least yielding almost 36 to 37 I'm going to say block x uh a day okay is it profitable not really I am negative at 8 cents but hey it doesn't hurt to stack some block X I guess I should maybe move these rigs over to maybe Ergo but it's going to be shortlived anyway I am going to swap the gpus out I have I think 40 CMP 100210 now so I should really get on in on that and uh but in the meantime I do want to get the eight of them the rest of the eight octom miners up once I receive those power cables and the network cables yeah I really should have thought of that okay guys that's it for this video let me know your thoughts and again comment down below if you want these pdus I don't know if anybody if anyone wants these but uh just just beware if if they die they should technically still be fine but uh I'll choose the winner in 24 hours all right you guys have a great one I'll see you all in the next video have a good one peace out peace out
