Litecoin is a famous decentralized digital currency that was created at the end of 2011. It has always been ranked in the top ten in the digital currency market. Litecoin is generated through POW (Proof of Work) mining. Litecoin mining machines are also called Scrypt encryption algorithm mining machines. In addition to mining Litecoin, any cryptocurrency based on the Scrypt algorithm can be mined using Scrypt mining machines. This issue brings you a recently released Litecoin mining machine, Goldshell X5. The ICQ510 chip used in this mining machine is specially designed for Litecoin mining algorithm Scrypt. Through further optimization of the algorithm, the chip has high computing power and low power consumption, and the energy consumption ratio reaches 0.84J/MH. The official data of the whole machine parameters are: computing power 720M, power 990W in standard mode, computing power 850M, power 1450W in overclocking mode.
Below, Caiyunbit brings you the latest reviews. 1. Unboxing and Photos
Jinbei X5 mining machine is packaged in five-layer industrial cartons, with logistics and warehousing graphic markings and brand logos.
The mining machine adopts pearl cotton board suspended packaging, which effectively ensures the safety of transportation.
The X5 mining machine adopts a fully enclosed air duct design with dual front and rear cooling fans and an alloy shell that is compact, sturdy and beautiful.
At the top of the mining machine, you can see that the mining machine is composed of four hash boards. Each hash board has two PCI-E 6pin interfaces and four data cables connecting the hash board to the controller.
The controller protection cover and controller power interface (PCI-E 6pin interface) on the top of the mining machine. A barcode of the mining machine model is affixed to the protection cover.
The data cable interface adopts a snap-on design, which provides tight contact and is conducive to the stability of data transmission.
On the front of the mining machine are the reset button, network cable socket and status light, as well as the front-mounted 12cm diameter fan (fan specification 12V 2.55A), from which air enters.
At the back of the mining machine, you can see a 12cm diameter cooling fan (fan specification 12V 2.55A) at the tail, from which the air is discharged.

The physical parameters of the mining machine are listed below.
2. Installation and debugging
Before installing the Jinbei X5 mining machine, you need to carefully check whether the heat sink has fallen off. The power supply used in this test is the Jinbei G1100-1800W mining machine dedicated power supply.
First, plug the power cord into the hashboard. There are two standard PCI-E 6pin interfaces on each of the four hashboards of the Jinbei X5 mining machine.
Then plug in the power to the controller (the controller also has a PCI-E 6pin interface).
Then plug in the network cable.
This is the final wiring diagram of the mining machine.
After the power is turned on, the mining machine automatically assigns an IP address, scans the latest connected device IP address and enters the background. (For the mining machine IP address, please refer to this posthttps://www.cybtc.com/thread-9843-1-1.html) Open the mining machine IP in the browser, and then switch the mining machine background to the Chinese interface.
Before setting up the mining machine, you need to unlock the background setting interface. The default password is 123456789.
Enter the "Miner Settings" page to set up the miner. There are three modes for the miner to run. The strong mode is the overclocking mode of the mining chip, the balanced mode is the normal frequency, and the energy-saving mode is the frequency reduction. The miner normally selects the "balanced mode" to run.
Then in the "Miner Settings" page, set up the mining pool.
If the mining pool is set incorrectly, you can delete the mining pool and reset it.
After the settings are completed, the mining machine starts running. After a few seconds, the real-time status of the mining machine, as well as the average computing power and computing power curve can be seen on the mining machine background homepage.

3. Test
In this test, the indoor noise level was about 39dBa, and the indoor temperature was about 30 degrees during the day and about 26 degrees at night. 1. Balance mode: After long-term operation, the average computing power is about 750M, and the computing power curve is stable without major fluctuations.
The power was measured at around 987W.
2. Energy saving mode: After long-term operation, the average computing power was measured to be 610M and the power was 655W.
3. Powerful mode: After long-term operation, the average computing power was measured to be 916M and the power was 1426W.
In terms of noise, when the mining machine is operating normally, when the background fan speed is around 4100 rpm during the day, the noise level is measured at around 82.6dB at a distance of about 20cm from the mining machine.
In terms of temperature, when the mining machine is running normally and stably, the temperature of the background chip/computing board is 60/40 degrees. The air intake was measured at 32 degrees.
The temperature at the air outlet was 42 degrees.
Fourth, brief summary: 1. The Jinbei X5 Litecoin mining machine is compact and sturdy in design. The hardware and background operating system have been optimized to improve mining efficiency and operation stability, and provide mining farm management software. It is suitable for all cryptocurrencies using the Scrypt algorithm. 2. The background operating system of the Jinbei X5 mining machine (Yotta MC) impressed me in this evaluation. It is intuitive and simple, supports multiple languages, and has a fast response speed. 3. The actual computing power of the mining machine is 740M and the power is 987W. It runs stably for a long time, and the computing power curve is stable without large fluctuations. So far, it is one of the mining machines with the highest mining efficiency. 4. There is a certain amount of overclocking space. 5. The noise is relatively loud, which is currently a common phenomenon in high-computing-power mining machines. 6. The heat dissipation is good, and the high-speed fan chip is used to effectively dissipate heat. The temperature difference between the front and the back is not large, which is conducive to long-term stable operation.
