[Music] what's going on everyone welcome Rabid here and today we are going to be silencing
the E300 so what do I mean by that quite simple we're gonna go from this to this all right guys
so before we begin the process here of silencing this E300 I want you guys to do something for me
if you're not yet subscribed to the robin Mine YouTube channel what are you waiting for hit
that subscribe button down below right now and if you have seen previous my videos in the past and
they have helped you out maybe consider becoming a channel member to help out the channel a little
bit more and it helps us survive and get more things to showcase for you guys now with all that
being said let's look into silencing this Miner so in order to silence the E300 there's nothing
special going on here it's the same thing we did with our L3 plus to silence that so when you
purchase this Miner you can actually purchase the noctua kit with it itself that's simply getting
these fans right here these are the industrial they're a little Dusty because I've had these
for a while these are my own fans but they did not work so the plug that these come with right
here does not fit into the default Control Board of the E300 so I could not use this but they did
send me out this attachment right here which is the plug for this control board and then goes
to the proper plug for these uh knock to a fan so as you can see I got them in right here kind
of wrapped around my mic cable oh my gosh what is going on get away there we go thank you very much
so we got this cable right here and obviously that will just plug into there we're good to go now if
you have an E300 or a newer model you may notice that these will already work allegedly after the
April batch so everything from now going forward after the first batch it has a new control board
with the proper plugs for these fans as as well as the noctua fan so that's already said to done
in all batches after April so anything ordered now will have the new control boards within them now
as mentioned the E300 itself comes in two separate flavors this E300 right here around 51.99 and the
noctua kit which comes with those fans is about an extra 50 bucks now depending where you are you
could get this one with these big fans here and then buy those separately on eBay or whatever you
decide on and you might be able to save a bit but 50 bucks is a pretty decent deal I think Canadian
I spent like 70 bucks or something on those two so you know 50 bucks USD I think is actually cheaper
than what I did regardless it's up to you how you want to get this now there's two other E300
variants here so there's like the E100 which is just one single fpga and then there's the E300 Vu
33p version which is like three it's still three fpgas within it but it's like your squirrel FK
30 e3s the Vu 33ps are the same fpgas as I believe you know the fk33 so you're getting three of those
in here as well I do have links in the description to Osprey and discount codes for each individual
Miner if you are looking for these fpgas for yourself remember you must use the proper code to
get that discount because there's three different models and three different discount codes so make
sure you line up the proper ones all right so with all that out of the way on top of silencing
this Miner with the other fans here I am hoping we'll also gain some efficiency by reducing the
power because these fans use quite a bit of power versus those in theory but we're going to see at
the wall what the difference is if we look at it right now and they are ramped up to level 10 Full
Speed Ahead we're using about 515 Watts right now mining Casper at 15 gigahertz that is your
medium type of settings you can get 17 gigahertz here which is another thing I want to recommend
once you throw these fans on you're not going to fully be able to overclock this to the max
because you're probably going to run into too high of temperatures and cook your boards and
stuff so you don't want to do that that is one thing you're going to have to really be careful
unless you live where it's winter Antarctica all the time or your ambient is below maybe 20 degrees
you can maybe then get those high overclocks but right now I am running the my fpga boards
fpga zero and one is at 6 30 of the voltage and fpga 2 which is the third one is running at 620
so that's what I got my settings at in terms of voltages and they are clocked at about 650 at
the core so that's what I got running here for settings now I'm going to do a quick run of the
decibel meter just so we can compare everything back to forth when we do get this done so we're
just going to come in here put this nice and close and then I'll just shut up for a minute
so yeah we can see we're around that 83 decibel Mark that is pretty loud now I also have another
thing to point a whole bunch of things just keep coming up last minute now this is only two fans
and I know big Bitcoin A6 are very very loud but I think this is actually louder and more of annoying
way so uh Bitcoin miner it is loud it was still in the 80 decibels but it really didn't really I
didn't mind it that much because it's more of a higher pitch now this is a lower pitch here
and that's one thing you got to keep in mind is the frequency of the noise they produce so lower
volumes travel farther travels through walls so you're gonna hear this thing in longer distances
and through walls a lot more than you would a big Bitcoin miners hard as that is to believe
that's just the way it works this is a lower frequency sound than the high-pitched Bitcoin
Miners and as you know we silenced the big Bitcoin miner anyway it is now a home Miner so thumbs up
to that now we're gonna to do it on the E300 all right so the first step in safety what we got to
do here is obviously turn off our Miner and unplug your power supply so you don't accidentally hit
the power button or something once that's out of the way we're going to go through our tools
we're going to need our fans here and you can use a screwdriver you're going to need a Phillips head
or a star but in my case I'm just going to go with the DeWalt here this bad boy the 18 volter
and we're just going to drive those babies out of there so I believe that's going to be a lot faster
method than the old hand crank right am I right or am I right you know I'm right it's rabbit anyway
so let's get into taking these fans off all right so the first thing I want to do to remove these
fans is unplug them first now you can put your fingers in here and kind of fight with them or
just directly pull off they're easy in my case I'm just going to go in here with a little screwdriver
here and kind of push them out so you can see like that bam and Bam look at that much easier
you know efficiency guys it's all about efficiency and that's why we're going to be using the big
18 volt we don't want any down time we're sitting here plugging away screwing around like crazy it's
not going to be efficient so we're going to roll with this guy right there all right now we have
our cables all taken off here I want to remove the front fan and always remember how they're
situated I don't think of it matters if you're sucking through the front exhausting through the
back or vice versa sucking through the rear and exhausting through the front this is currently
exhausting through the front the way it came so I'm just going to keep it the same way but again
I don't think it really matters and sometimes you can increase the cooling by reversing it because
it gets filled with dust now obviously the best way to go about that is clean out your darn minor
regardless let's look at this so I did pull this out over the table a bit so I can get everything
into here so we're just going to Simply put that in we're going to start with number one here
oh yeah look at that out getting numbers two here
oh yeah look at that you know it's so much nicer huh just use the power tools
little uh Tim Allen there if you're unfamiliar I'm sure you guys all aware about it now hopefully
I don't hit my camera with this thing but we'll find out all right there we go so we're almost out
almost out we're gonna do a little bit of screw in here that's okay though let's just kind of
there we go wow look at that I feel like we're in a NASCAR pit stop right you know if I was a NASCAR
pit person I guess that's what it would feel like you know I don't I'm not one so I don't really
know okay I got this thing flipped around to the rear and now we're gonna pull this side out as
well so same process here get our big screw gun in and out she comes yeah looking good looking good
yep looking good there let's get her down here this time oh yeah you're out and the final one
oh yeah oh sure of course you do you little guy right here just want to be a little bugger
that's okay we're out I see a little bit of dust in there maybe I could blow this thing
out or something but for the most part it's not too bad regardless there we go all our fans are
out that was pretty darn easy all right so we're on the rear here still and now we gotta line up
our fans and like I said we're gonna be sucking through the rear and blowing through the front
so that's how we're gonna have to set this up so we're gonna have to align our fans properly so
if you look on the top of these knock two as you can see which way the fan is spinning and which
way the airflow is going or for another case out the back is the way the air comes so in this case
on the back here we are going to situate our fan like so in this position and give enough slack so
that we can make sure our cable does make it all the way around now because of these extensions we
could probably put this almost anyway and it will make it but we just use the exact same screws that
came with the other Fabs we're not going to be putting them in too too tight because you are
going to hit the actual fpga heat sink here on some of these so I'm only going to use I
think this one and this one down here yeah I'm only going to use these two here because we're
going to hit these so we're gonna have to be very careful because these two won't fit regardless it
should still keep it fairly tight but we'll find out once we get her done now also you know you
can just put the fan guards back on but I'm not going to not recommend it but I'm just going to
leave it as is make sure you don't put your finger in there it will hurt ow I hold my thumb there
I fail at that I fail at the pad to spin that's the rapid spin the fail spin oh that looks sweet
look at these things those ball bearings just go forever anyway let's get this thing in there so I
am going to start this by hand just to make sure I don't strip anything with the drill and I don't
even think I'm going to use the drill because I want to make sure I don't drive this thing into
one of the fpga boards or chips or you guys can't really see my with my hand there but sorry about
that so we're just gonna start it like so nice and then we're just gonna start the other one as
well always keep them loose don't tighten them up right off the get-go because you may need a little
bit of Wiggle there that's pretty much bolting stuff in 101 but yeah never make everything tight
always leave some of them loose so there we go we're kind of like that so I'm just gonna zip
these in and we'll see how it looks all right so I did zip those on and as we can see it's that it
is pretty tight we don't have to worry about this thing going anywhere with just these two now you
don't want to go too tight on this side because this will start to crimp and eventually it'll
probably break somewhere in here but nice and snug will just work fine and there we have fan number
one on the rear now we're gonna flip this over and do fan number two on the front side okay so just
like the back we got to figure out which way we want our fan and because I am sucking in from the
rear and we're exhausting out the front we got to come into our fan here and look at it and go this
way here you can see the arrow is now now coming towards us the fan will be spinning to the right
like so and again this will be the rear facing at us just like how we had on the other fans the rear
was facing us anyway and here we can see we have a lot of space on this side and not too much here
our screws will hit the heat sinks of the fpgas here so we're going to utilize just this side
right here so we're going to put that on and we will cut back and again I am starting everything
by hand so I know nothing will get stripped or anything once you know that they are in place
we're going to use our little screwdriver because I don't want to drive them in here even though I
know there's a lot of space you know it's always better to be safe than sorry so I'm just going
to use this little stub nose here and we're just going to drive those in by hand you know you can
simply just twist your fingers together here because these things do spin incredibly easy
so a little screwdriver trick if you guys are curious I'm sure you guys all know this maybe
not but you know when you're working on a drilling rig it's all about speed and you got to get things
done now you know you're getting paid millions of dollars an hour I'm just kidding not that much
but I'm just saying okay we're coming in here looks pretty straight give it a little snug in
oh yeah a little more looks good get the bottom in here
and a little snug there we go yeah nice and tight all right there we go our fans are now installed
okay so the fans are all in I got everything plugged into our controllers here and as you can
see down the side we have plenty of room to get this plugged in I can pull it out way out to here
as you can see so we got a lot of room that we can do there I kind of wrap this one around it's a
little big maybe I should have put the fan guards on this actually has a little bit of guard here it
shouldn't go in and we are exhausting here anyway so it should blow out but regardless everything's
looking good we're gonna get the ethernet plugged in plug our power supply back in check out our
Mass there we go with good old rabbit face anyway just kidding uh we're gonna get this thing plugged
in fired up and take a look at our well take a listen to it see what it sounds like then
obviously check out a power meter back there see what kind of power we are drawing anytime I move
a miner I do want to make sure everything's ready to go so everything's plugged in now but this is
like my pre-mind checklist and it should be like a weekly every two week list as well turn down
your miners check all the connections so I'm just going to Simply go through here Wiggle all each
individual one here and make sure everything is kind of tight on the hash board not hashboard the
the breakout board there that'll brain fart for a minute as well as our fpgas right here our
hash boards here so make sure all the power's in everything does seem kind of tight you know those
guys these guys in here everything's good so now I can hit the power button and see if this thing
blows up to the Moon um all right so we're going but I do not see Power happening on this one so
I'm gonna have to check the connection never mind it's spinning I don't know what I'm talking about
I got tricked so don't get tricked guys so as you can see I'm not sticking my finger in there
uh that I did I've seen this wasn't spinning but it's actually spinning in there I can feel the air
but yeah so this thing is working 100 it's just I got kind of fooled here thinking how come it's
not spinning when it was just that back part so we're good it's spinning those make sure this is
spinning it's looking yeah it's look like it's spinning not putting my finger in there we are
drawing some power readable 51 Watts that's I think that's about what the other ones are
at actually when it's just booting up anyway I'm gonna get this thing Mining and see what
things look like all right so there we are fired up ready to go we are on 15 gigahash right now
it is mining away and let's take a look at our power consumption so we are hanging out at about
496 Watts so we are about 497 I guess so we are what were we out there 5 15. so we
lost like 16 17 Watts uh swapping fans so that's pretty good let's take a look at how
loud this Miner actually is right now so I'm going to put it up close and then I will just
shut my mouth and Yap for a little bit here get that light out of the way there so now be quiet
so we are around 72 to 73 decibels I suppose so we lost about 10 decibels but I don't know if you can
hear it through the mic or not there is a slight hum there but it is definitely nothing like it was
this thing is very quiet now you can definitely stick this anywhere in your house not well maybe
not right beside you or not in your bedroom but in a different room or something and you
shouldn't hear it I don't think regardless this thing is now quiet and this is the exact same mod
exact same fans and everything that you would use on like your L3 plus and stuff to silence
them so hopefully this video helped you out and again check those links down in the description
as well as using the proper codes and that is all the E300 is now another silent Miner that rabid
has tamed thank you for checking out this video guys I will see you on the next one Rabid Out
thank you
