The brightest star in the night sky - Jinbei HS3-SE disassembly review

2020 was a relatively lonely year in the blockchain circle. There were no particularly eye-catching new mining coins. If there is only one project that is more durable and has not been mined by crazy profit-seeking miners and high-performance ASICs, then HNS is probably the only one worth talking about.

HNS stands for Handshake. The project aims to become a democratic and decentralized certificate authority and naming system, focusing on decentralized domain name registration, authentication, trading and resolution. HNS coin is Handshake's on-chain token, using PoW consensus mining, and the mining algorithm is Blake2B + SHA3. Based on the current coin price, the market value is approximately US$224 million, and the total amount of HNS is 2.04 billion, of which 680 million are mined.

Let’s not go off topic. What I want to introduce to you today is not the HNS project, but the HNS home silent mining device that has been all over your circle of friends recently - Jinbei HS3-SE.

I won’t show you the packaging box and the exquisite and thick pearl cotton foam, and will go straight to the talent!

This silent mining machine, which claims to be able to turn your home into a private mine, adopts an integrated aluminum alloy body design. It has a simple and neat appearance, a high-end atmosphere, and can deeply cure patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The physical dimensions are exactly the same as those marked on the official website.

Close-up of the mining machine control panel interface: you can see the IP report button, Ethernet interface, SD card slot, reset button and status indicator light.

Here is a small detail worth mentioning. I was very lucky to get the Easter egg model, a mining machine with a colorful fan (it all depends on luck. The colorful fan mining machine only accounts for a part of the total shipments. It is shipped randomly to everyone and does not accept markings). Considering the various needs of the home environment for the brightness and color of the light, an additional switch button is added to the fan, which can adjust the color of the light and the switch at will. I counted and found that there are more than ten light modes in total! I can't help but give a big thumbs up to this design detail!

Let’s take a look at the power supply model: LS-1200W/MUTE. The number of power supply fans has increased compared to HS3, but the volume decibel level is better controlled than before!

The product serial number is printed on the side of the mining machine for manufacturer maintenance registration.

After talking about the appearance details, it’s time to disassemble the machine. Take a complete photo first, in case you can’t put it back together after disassembly. Usually, before disassembling the machine, I have to kneel down and pray, “Satoshi Nakamoto, please bless me and don’t damage it.”

It seems that I can hear the mining machine trembling

Four computing boards are revealed, each of which is made of real gold and silver.

During the disassembly process, we also discovered a detail: there are a lot of signs of artificial reinforcement where the wiring of the whole machine is located. It is estimated that the production hours will increase as a result. However, the silent effect is not in vain, and is achieved through these meticulous improvements.

Remove the top case so that everyone can see the distribution of the hashboard more clearly.

Push-pull hanging power supply makes maintenance easier.

Close-up of the front and back of the hashboard, the scheming miners can't help but start counting the number of chips. It can be seen that the hashboard of this mining machine is narrower than that of ordinary mining machines. On the one hand, this can make the chassis more compact and save home space, and on the other hand, it shortens the air duct and is more conducive to internal heat dissipation.

I can only disassemble it to this extent. I took a photo of all the components and prepared to start assembly.

The power is on successfully. I will pay my respects to Satoshi Nakamoto again. Thank you for blessing me! (Jinbei HS3-SE comes with a power cord, so you don’t need to prepare one separately)

Enter the router to find the miner IP address, enter this IP address in the browser to enter the miner control page, then configure the mining pool, and you can start mining! Isn’t it simple!

The noise level is almost non-existent during the operation of the mining machine. The decibel level is far lower than that of the refrigerator and fish tank oxygen pump at home. It is really the favorite of the henpecked miners! The noise level is 53.4db when measured at close range, and only 45.8db when measured at 30cm.

The actual power consumption is 889.5W, which is lower than the official website indicator.

Comparing the local 24-hour computing power and the mining pool's 24-hour computing power, the local average computing power is 946.5GH/s, and the mining pool's average computing power is 961.36GH/s. Let's take a look at the parameters marked on the official website: 930GH/s. Both computing power curves are relatively stable and smooth.

Finally, we must speak with strength. Calculating the static payback period based on the starting price of household electricity, this Jinbei HS3-SE will pay back in about 263 days. The payback period is definitely far better than the common mainstream machines on the market!

Let’s summarize the core data:

Oh my god, what kind of magical parameters are these? The measured performance is so much better than the official website performance. Is it because the R&D team is too conservative and modest, or is it because the editor has a great luck? I'm afraid we have to wait until all the miners get their hands on it and do a round of survey to draw a conclusion. What? You still don't know where to buy it? Click the link below and you will have a chance to win a Jinbei HS1 worth 1,288 yuan ! The editor can only help you here!
