what's up guys welcome back to caveman mining
on today's video we'll just jump right into it we are going to cover the hash rate hack
or update if you will from nb miner and uh just to confirm some of you guys know
what uh what this does is uh it allows 70 of the hash rate uh you know for light
hash rate cards and uh the version that we want to look for is version 39.0 and i'm
running hive os uh that is my primary means of my my mining software i've done some nice hash and some direct stuff in windows before but this is my
primary operations and um the release of nb miner of version 39.0 comes with the version
of nice hash os uh we'll just say 2 1 0 8 1 5 okay so that was released on the 15th
of august so you have to have at least that os version to run this and uh we've cut to
the chase um i have that running right now and what i want to do in this video is we're going
to compare okay i'm going to uh pull up a flight sheet on ethereum running t-rex miner we'll
see kind of what this card would normally get with the you know full locked um hash rate
and then what we'll do is we will then run a test with um and b minor so let's go to the
flight sheet and i have to look here for yep test t-rex ethereum let's go ahead
and apply that flight sheet and things should start to spool up and just to
recap okay i uh the clocks on this card i'm doing minus 502 on the core and i'm pushing a little bit
higher on the memory i'm going 2720 and i'm doing a power level of 121 watts which should bring
us to in the minor around 120 watts so we'll take a look at that momentarily let's go ahead
and refresh things are still spooling up and what we're gonna do is this is not the best judge
of character to kind of refresh from here so uh word of advice is i would go into the
hive shell okay and that's going to show you more accurately or more granularly your hash rate and the timing of everything and it's
going to show you the shares okay because um i've seen some videos where people are
claiming these extremely high hash rates and the fact is it's more of just the software showing
that but it's not actually truthful reporting because it's not finding shares so this is kind of
the source of truth and going into the minor from shell and we'll run that and you can see right
off the bat right t-rex minor again this is locked um we're running about starting off at 26.74 mega
hash and i assume that's probably going to hold temperatures pretty cool 52 celsius power levels
120 watts fan is 90 we get just over 223 on the uh efficiency okay so got one share found here let's
uh we'll just wait for another share to connect and uh yep hash rate is still roughly the same
temperature going up just a little bit now since the card is starting to to hash and kind of get
a little bit deeper of a load uh under its belt and let's go back to the display here
and let's just see how things look and looks like hive is not wanting to play very
well okay so it's starting to report the hash rate on this side as well got a couple of
shares okay 26.74 pretty steady now let's i'm going to stop the miner and we're going to apply the
flight sheet that has the nb miner um new version so let's get into our
flight sheets i'm going to run nb test we're going to apply that now you guys know that once you change your flight
sheet with a different miner it's going to terminate the session with a hive
shell so we can go ahead and launch a new session get that to load and we'll take a peek in there hit enter and yeah this is going to
be a really really interesting test on this light hash rate 3060 card um i know with
the original 3060s that were nerfed you can do the driver uh trick that does not work
with the light hash rate model cards just to confirm the driver model that i'm running
here is 465.31 so i believe if i'm not mistaken that is the minimum that you can run for the nb
miner um version to get get the full hash rate you can definitely look into that tell me if i'm
wrong but that's what i believe i heard and let's go back into hive shell i can already see 31.69
so clearly already starting at a higher rate okay so we've got our first accepted share uh 33.73
okay that's not bad for the first chair obviously you know we want to let this run for a little
bit of time i know most people do 24-hour tests probably what i'll do with this video is just
uh have the minor running for an hour or two and see where we are at if there are you know huge
fluctuations from this first share uh hash rate you know the card gets a little bit hot and you
can already see the second reporting for the hash rate is 33.27 and hasn't found a share yet
a second share yet so we will keep running this power level 120 54 celsius 90 fan
okay we've got our second share so that's a good sign the more shares in the
less time the better and uh hashrate 33.30 okay so this is starting to look promising i'm
not blown away by the numbers i'm seeing here but you know we're pretty close to on pace
with that 70 mark okay so the 30 60 cards when they're at full hash rate on aetherium
with the you know the driver hack around 50 to 52 mega hash i've seen some cards go as high
up as that so yeah we're just teetering on getting close to 34 mega hash which would put
us close to 70 percent so probably about 68 67 uh full hash rate from what i'm
seeing here so pretty close as advertised um definitely want to see more shares
accepted so i'm not sure if we just need to let the miner run a little bit more time
but uh yeah we'll let that run and see where things go but totally totally interesting
okay another share here go back to hive all right and not too too
shabby so at 33.76 seems to be the highest hash rate that we've been able
to achieve and still getting more shares so okay we'll let that run for a couple hours and
we're gonna come back and uh we'll see where things look but uh so far so good okay we'll take
a quick break here and uh the next edit you'll see on the video we'll come back and take a look at
this after a couple hours and hopefully we'll see a couple hundred shares maybe by that time if all
looks well so yeah cool okay guys we have let the miner run for about uh two hours and some change
and um yeah things are looking pretty decent so we're uh last recorded hash rate about
33.58 210 accepted shares over the two hours and uh about 120 watts 55
degrees at the fan going at a 90 there so yeah getting varying hash
rates anywhere from the mid to low um 33s and i think the highest share that i saw when
i was watching some of the minor logs was about 33.89 so yeah just shy just you know that points
getting just shy of um 34 mega hash so yeah uh my opinion on this is that the future looks promising
for the light hash rate cards i do understand that you know we're towards the end of 2021 we all
know at some point soon you know proof of work is coming to an end for ethereum you know anyone's
guessed er q1 2022 which could be you know january 1st or could be you know april time frame we
really don't know but that said right we have these great guys with nb miner cracking
you know cracking this open and allowing 70 of the hash rate uh full hash rate of the card
things look pretty promising right so that said if you are an uh ethereum miner and you know
you're looking to buy new cards at you know msrp and uh they are light hash rate cards you know
there's some incentive there still to to to purchase these cards so um yeah i uh i'm gonna
consider it i'm gonna keep my eye on these uh different miners and you know see uh who can kind
of get win the race to to crack the full hash rate i think it's going to be a little bit exciting
and and quite a challenge but even for now uh you know seeing uh ravencoin and ethereum on
the what to mines for you know a couple days just moving up and down on the charts so obviously
ethereum is still very very profitable uh to mine so yeah um some people might want to consider
just you know getting the 70 percent um with their cards whichever card they have of the light hash
rate uh family so yeah pretty cool uh like i said the verdict is uh i'm pretty happy i'm not like
super blown away by by everything but uh you know things looking up but uh yeah i want to cut the
video here guys and i want to thank you all as always for watching and tuning in please feel
free to like and subscribe the video if you uh like what you saw here and um yeah definitely
drop some comments right if you thought this was cool and if you would like to see us
you know try some different algorithms and and do some other things here just uh
yeah let us know and uh with that i will chop the video out here i
want to thank you all again have a wonderful night and we'll see you on the
next video thanks for watching caveman mining bye
