Title: Antminer E3 problems? Post by: emilio932 on August 25, 2020, 08:32:54 PM Hey!
I have fired up my old Antminer E3 for mining some ETH for fun, dont want arguments about whether this is right or wrong. My miner shows as follows: https://imgur.com/a/ji4FEJa lacking about 60mhs of power. i get that there is one chain with just one ASIC. but that should more likely be 10(?) mhs missing. Why dont i get the other ones to fire right up? Kind regards emilio932 Title: Re: Antminer E3 problems? Post by: DaveF on August 26, 2020, 04:45:20 PM You have 2 chains that are not hashing. The ones showing 00 in temp and BB in status.
1st check your power. Could be a bad power supply or one just not putting out enough. Check the ribbon cables form the controller board to the has boards. Other than that, there is not much you can do. Boards go bad often, it sucks but not much you can do about it. -Dave Title: Re: Antminer E3 problems?

Even if you had warranty on them, sometimes it was troublesome getting them warrantied. Hence why I stopped buying Antminers. What you need to do is basically take it apart and check for anything burnt, I am assuming you will find some burn marks on certain hash boards. If there are burn marks see what burnt, if its a capacitor you might get away with replacing it, however chances are the boards are garbage. Don't feel bad, they only had 2 more months of mining left anyways. Title: Re: Antminer E3 problems?

Mining at a profit after power costs, probably not. This is why miners that are 1 or 2 gens out still tend to have *some* value. People like to play and speculate on coins. -Dave Title: Re: Antminer E3 problems? Post by: emilio932 on August 27, 2020, 06:55:20 AM You have 2 chains that are not hashing.

Do you know how much the caps values are ? :) i have not taken the miner apart, since im making 0,01eth still :) Title: Overclocking Antminer E3 help Re: Antminer E3 problems? Post by: cryptojacker on September 30, 2020, 12:19:44 AM I am overclocking Antminer E3 but the Harshrate doesn't change. Running 5.4.0. Any help, suggestions, or links, are appreciated. Thank you!
