[Mining Review] Jinbei CK5 Disassembly Test

There is no shortage of dark horses in the cryptocurrency world in 2021. Many projects that performed mediocrely in 2020 have taken advantage of the bull market and have become popular. CKB is one of them. The editor has drawn up the growth curve of CKB in the past three months, which has easily increased fivefold.

For the gamblers in the cryptocurrency trading group, after seeing too many projects that have increased tenfold or even a hundredfold, they may still say in a bland way: "That's it?" But for the dedicated miners, the benefits of CKB are far more than that. When a project that continues to rise encounters a high-performance self-developed ASIC chip, the two effects are superimposed together, just like the nuclear fusion reaction produced when two chemical elements meet. The result is enough to blind the eyes of all the veterans in the mining circle. This is also the charm of the POW project.

With the support of the current currency price, the daily income and static payback period of Jinbei CK5 are the first to kill all CKB mining machines.

Looking at the mining machine revenue rankings on the mining website, CK5’s daily revenue ranks firmly in the top six.

Today, I will take you to disassemble and test the Jinbei CK5. (Seeing this, you will know that you are not in the wrong channel. This is a hardware review, not a soft article for speculating on cryptocurrencies.)

First of all, the official website parameters of Jinbei CK5 are announced

Friends who often read Jinbei mining machine reviews know that the editor’s usual interest is in the final actual test phase, verifying how much higher the 24-hour average computing power is than the official website computing power, so we first silently memorize the official website data in our minds, and then start to disassemble the machine.

【Appearance】

It still has an integrated aluminum alloy body design, and the actual machine size is the same as that marked on the official website.

Close-up of the functional area on the front of the chassis, from left to right: IP report button, Ethernet port, SD card slot, reset button and status indicator light.

Close-up of the main control board. In the middle is the main control board chip, and on the edge are the button conversion interfaces for the various card slots in the function area.

Remove the fan and take a look at the internal structure of the chassis and the layout of the hashboard. Four pull-out hashboards, plus an external integrated power supply, the lines are smooth and neat.

Please ignore the dust on the fan. The editor got a brand new prototype and only ran it on the balcony for more than twenty hours. It just happened to catch up with Beijing's once-in-a-decade sandstorm. After testing for a day and a night, the machine seemed to have been running in an open-air field in Xinjiang for more than half a year.

Four hash boards with a total of 184 high-performance chips. The back is a soldered aluminum alloy nickel-plated heat sink.

I took a photo of the entire machine and my obsessive-compulsive disorder came back when I was fastening the screws.

[Measurement]

Connect the power supply and network cable, turn on the main switch of the mining machine, and the indicator light will light up.

Open the mining machine management backend and start configuring the mining pool.

Here we need to remind you that when configuring the mining pool, you can only choose to mine with the username, and you cannot directly mine with the address. After the mining pool is configured, the other options can use the default values.

After running for 24 hours, we looked at the local computing power and the mining pool computing power. The real-time computing power of the mining pool reached a maximum of 12.89T, and the local computing power was displayed as 12.2T, both higher than the official website mark.

The actual power consumption is 2282W, which is more than 100W lower than that of the previous model. This energy consumption ratio is really great!

The noise decibel value near the machine is 82.9, which is at the average level of ASIC mining machines.

The inlet and outlet temperatures at room temperature are 31.8°C and 46.1°C respectively

Finally, let’s compare the core data:

Editor's summary: It is already difficult for new miners to get on the high-speed train of Bitcoin mining. In comparison, the Goldshell CK5, which has a static payback period of only two months and one day, is particularly friendly and user-friendly among a large number of high-yield mining machines. If you still have a dream to continue mining, you might as well go to the official website to have a good look. https://www.goldshell.com/zh/ck5-ckb-nervos-miner/
