Goldshell HS5 Miner Evaluation

Goldshell HS5 Miner Evaluation

Compared with the previous products, Goldshell HS5 has two significant points worth paying attention to:

The first is the performance increase. The official website states that the hash rate of HS5 can reach 2700Gh/S. Compared with HS3-SE, HS5 has spent all its efforts on internal structure. The splendid image of HS5 can finally convince miners that it is a profit-oriented HNS miner, not an intelligent appliance.

Secondly, HS5 is a miner that supports HNS and SC dual mining, which means you are 50% less likely to shut down than other ASIC miners.

Performance parameters:

Rated hash rate	HNS	2700GH/S±5%
	SC	5400GH/S±5%
wall power consumption	HNS	2650W/h±5%
	SC	1500W/h±5%
Indoor noise	≤80db
Connection method	Ethernet
Miner size	264mm*200mm*290mm
Total Weight	8.5kg
Operating temperature	0~35℃
Input voltage	Only supports 176~274V

Payback period

Through the coin mining income calculator, the daily income of two different algorithms has been calculated successively, which can be very pleasant, and the return period is also quite ideal.

Miner appearance

The HS5 follows the integrated design of the aluminum alloy body of the previous HS series, and the size of the bare metal is the same as that marked on the official website. The weight of HS5 is only 8.5 kg, which is about 5 kg lighter than ordinary ASIC miners.

Above the fan on the front of the chassis is a fairly standard design: IP reporting button, Ethernet interface, SD card slot, reset button and status indicator, and the main switch button of the miner is located above the power supply.

Remove the top case to reveal the main control board. In the middle of the main control board is the iMAPx912 main chip, with a 2G flash memory next to it.

When the fan is removed, the structure of the chassis and the hash board can be seen. This pull-out hash board is very convenient for miners to clean and maintain and is currently the mainstream chassis structure.

The fan model is Snowfan YY1203, DC12V, a more common fan for mining farm models.

There are 46 chips on each hash board, and the whole miner has 184 chips. This HS5 miner uses a distributed heat sink. The advantage is that although the number of chips is large, the overall weight has not increased significantly. The Antminer T17 also uses this craft. If you look closely, the heat sink material on the front and back is not the same. The front is aluminum alloy, and the back is aluminum alloy plated with nickel, which is convenient for soldering.

The picture below shows a collection of all parts of the miner.

Run the test

Goldshell HS5 comes with its power cable, connects the power supply and network cable, turns on the miner's main switch, the indicator light is on, indicating that the miner starts to operate normally.

Open the miner management backstage and select the algorithm to configure the mining pool.

Note that the mining pool information should also be modified accordingly when switching algorithms.

After the two algorithms have been running for nearly 20 hours, let's take a look at the local hash rate and the mining pool hash rate of the two algorithms respectively.

The measurement result is that the mining pool side is slightly higher than the local side.

Let's look at the different power consumption of the two algorithms. HNS is 2497w, SC is 1387w, which are much lower than the official website.

The noise of the two algorithms and the air inlet and outlet temperature are not much different. The near-miner decibel is 83.2, the air inlet temperature is 24.1 degrees Celsius, and the air outlet temperature is 47.9 degrees Celsius.

Running data comparison:

	HNS official website data	HNS measured data	SC official website data	SC measured data
Power consumption	2650W/H±5%	2497W/H	1500W/H±5%	1387W/H
Hash rate	2700GH/S±5%	2830GH/S	5400GH/S±5%	5550GH/S
