going on everyone welcome Rabid here and here we have the E300 yet again but this time we're going
to be checking out ethereum classic and see what kind of hash rates we can get out of the E300 fpga
Miner we did check out Caspa the other day and radiant rxd is not yet available but that will
be coming soon now if you did miss the E300 video on Caspa be sure to check it out there is a lot
of great information on the setup process and everything for this thing and I feel once the
Casper A6 do get nailed on the network in about a month and a half's time these things won't be
looking so hot because the A6 are in the Terra hashes where this was hanging out around 17.9
gigahertz now moving forward rating is not yet here but I think that's probably going to be the
next major move from Casper onto radiant to make these things you know to stay in the profitability
but right now Caspa is the most profitable coin for this Etc isn't that hot but we're gonna
jump into the workstation and kind of look at the ethereum classic numbers and if you're looking for
an E300 for yourself there are three different versions I do have discount codes down in the
description for you guys to use and there is one for each model the e314 gigahash which is now 17.9
we got the E100 here and then the new edition the E300 vu33p which is 8.8 gigahash on Casper again
use the discount codes down in the description the proper one for the proper Miner or it won't work
all right so here we have ethereum classic and I didn't test the highest core well you can go even
higher in this but I didn't test the higher core of the 750 range like we did did do in
Casper because I didn't want to wreck this thing because I'm not sure how if I can go that high and
voltages and so on but another thing to point out and another reason why I didn't go higher is here
when I am on Etc you can see that I'm using 625 on the core and 1250 on the hbm memory now this
states that the value hbm clock has to be 900 to 1250 and the clock should be double of the core
and in fact it has to be double or it doesn't seem to work at least with these settings maybe it's a
silicon Lottery thing I don't know but if I had my core here at 650 it would not work at 12.50
because I would need 1300 on the memory in order for that to work and I forgot about this because
I went back I had it working at the 625s and then all of a sudden I went back after doing the lower
550 test and I was like how come this thing won't run everything kept quitting on me as soon as it
loaded the dags and everything it just quit it just quit I'm like what is happening I'm using the
prop for voltages that was working couldn't figure it out and then I looked here and I'm like well
maybe it was 625 so I went to 625 and yes that made the memory double and it fired right up so
this does seem to play a huge part in making this minor work at least for ethereum classic so that's
why I didn't go higher because it's telling me the maximum is 12.50 and I didn't want to go above
that and to go above that then I could raise my core and stuff so I'm waiting for confirmation to
see if I can crank this thing up anymore because I don't know the limiting numbers that I should go
up to and what I shouldn't go past and so on but regardless we didn't use that much power and it
didn't get that warm on my highest settings here but let's look at the numbers now so here I have
Etc on the fpga so at 6 50 clock here memory I was running okay that's messed up here right here
bam so put that memory back in there so memory was 12.50 on a mall my core millivolts was 660 660 and
in this case fpga 2 actually needed more wearing Casper I actually had this one running a little
lower but in this case it would quick it would keep quitting on me anything lower than 680. so I
had to run 680 millivolts on that memory voltages I ran them at 1200 we're using 283 Watts at the
wall but we're only seeing a hash rate of 228 mega ash so we're actually using more power than the
hash rate we were getting in this case if you want to work this out to like a GPU for example a 3060
TI is like 61 Mega hash 133 Watts or something at the wall this was 76.3 Mega hash at about 94 Watts
so we're still a lot better than a GPU and Etc and there's still a lot of gpus actually mining
ethereum classic believe it or not but we do have obviously much better Hardware out there like jazz
Miners and Apollos but if you know if Etc explodes in the future we still have a very good option
that is better than a GPU for ethereum classic now moving on to the next setting here this is
the other one I want the lower value 550 core same memory obviously here because of course 100 lower
I could drop all the voltages down to 600 and we seem to be stable I won't let me go below 600 so
maybe that's the limiting factor here I tried 580 it just wouldn't go to 580. again 1200 millivolts
on the memory we're using 242 Watts but we did lose hash rate by dropping that core down to 201
Mega hash that works out to be 67.14 Mega hash per fpga at 80 watts per fpga because there are three
of them in this E300 okay and one more thing here I know you guys are going to ask the question no
this does not mine zil I tried it I went and used this for this Etc test in easily me and I used uh
crazy pool because they had a timer and right when when the Zill round came this did start to reload
the dagner I lost the dag and everything it did not work it would not load that to exercise and
time and it just rebooted so I just removed Zill completely it would not make it in time for the
Zillow round so I'm gonna go with no this is not a Zill Miner now maybe if I use the Apollos where it
pre-loads the dags maybe that would work but this thing seems to take quite a bit longer to load
Etc than it did for Casper it's almost like five eight minutes or something I don't know it was a
little while though so I think it would miss the Zone around completely unless it started very
early which is what a lot of pools do but for now I'm gonna have to go with this does not mine zil
and I actually sell my Zillow address in here so I should just get rid of that bam actually I'm not
even mining UTC on it I'm still on the good old Casper as you can see here I am mining Casper at
hero Miner so I'm gonna go with no on the Zill and I'm gonna go with this is not the best ethereum
classic Miner but it is still ultimately better than a GPU now I've only tried team red Miner I
haven't tried the all father yet that does work with Caspa and Etc so maybe it may work better
in one of these coins so I'll try that out and if it I do see some type of improvements then I will
do an update but if it looks like it's about the same then I guess you know we don't really have
to worry about it but let me know what you guys think down in the comment section below alright
guys so there we have it ethereum classic E300 not the greatest piece of equipment out there for
ETC we have Apollos that can help us out for that jazz miners you know hanging out over
there that can do that just fine way better than this So currently yes this thing is 100
bottom for caspot and I do feel once the A6 from Ice River do finally start dropping if they end
up dropping for sure across the networks we will see a massive hash rate Spike happen on
Casper making these things not look as good but obviously the gpus are gonna have to fall off if
before any of these fpgs at that point or even sooner like right around the corner I'm hoping
radiant will be available on these and then we can just Swap this out like immediately obviously
as soon as I see rating available I will be testing that out for you guys so we can get
some numbers but I'm feeling that's going to be the next major leap for these e300s and then if
Etc does pump in the future it is an option that's better than a GPU but it's still like
I said it's not the best anyway what's your thoughts and comments on this whole
situation with the fpgas and this E300 I will see you on the next one Rabid Out
thank you
