After a series of tests, the mine machine really brought me a lot of surprises, ETH calculations, the power consumption is very unexpected, than the simple graphics card machine is composed of too high cost It's
Although the mining capacity, but the material used to rely on Kaoyao ah! After all, this thing is all-weather fire full operation than the game graphics card to be much harsh working environment, and today we put this machine To open, to see what exactly is inside.
Open the miner's shell is very easy, just use a cross screwdriver to remove all the screws around, gently lift the edge, the lid opens, as if visible within the arrangement of eight mineral cards, were inserted with a 8pin independent Power plug. The processor uses Intel's original radiator, after all, this CPU is really not much heat.
Intel G3930
All mine cards do not show the output function, so this comes with nuclear dual-core processor also assumes the task of video output.

ETH mining machine processor memory and data storage requirements of basic low to negligible, so other hardware only need to be able to support the operation of windows 10 and mine pool software on it. Memory is used in a single Gent's 4GB Notebook memory, the label does not write frequency, but it is estimated that it should be 2133MHz or 2400MHz.
Mining card is a productivity tool
In fact, the hardware required for the entire mining machine with an ordinary computer is almost the difference between the motherboard and the mine card above. Mine card is the most important mining machine inside the production tool, so next we have a detailed analysis of mining card .
Remove the support of mine card
After mining card from the bracket to take down, the biggest feature is that there is no cooling fan, because the entire chassis inside the fan-based violence to go through the entire ten fan for the whole heat through the fin we can see the aluminum extrusion bottom also There are two heat pipe entrenched, as a hot plate instead.
Can see flat flat heat pipe
Mine card label
Mine card above the label only records the model and configuration information, the bar code is similar to the SN code below the above we can clearly see this mining card model P104-100, using a 4GB GDDR5X memory capacity, bit Width is 256bit.
Mine card radiator
Mine card radiator as mentioned earlier, the use of two heat pipe entrenched in the bottom, and after grinding, the use of direct contact with the heat pipe, silicone grease to see the color and smell should be produced by Dow Corning.

Spare video output interface bit
After removing the radiator is the scene, and in fact, the basic layout and Geforce graphics and no difference, the most obvious is the video card tail without the video output interface.
Six power supplies
Mine card power supply using six scales, one of the core frequency requirements of the operation is not high, the power supply is also sufficient scale.
Magnesium light memory particles
Empty mine card speed fan power connector
As a result of the passive radiator, the original default speed fan power supply interface is empty. Violent fan walking air duct is much stronger than the average fan, that is, the noise is relatively large.
From the above disassembly, we can see that the flag ZMAX mining machine supports currencies in addition to mining cards other than the hardware requirements are very low, as long as it can support the system and software can run, so basically used Mine can use this kind of match, mining is to see the benefits, mine managers, of course, not to show off their mining machine what U, what the article will only mention the total power and cost.
It is noteworthy that the mining card is actually from the graphics card plan on the set, such as unsoldered video output interface also left vacant. AIO inductance quality and cost are higher than similar products, we can see that this mine The card will also use other higher-grade devices.After a series of optimization, mining card power consumption has been no small decline, and the corresponding calculation of the currency has also been increased, for large mines is A thing called clapping
By disassembly analysis, this mining machine hardware is still very reliable, at least the most important mining card itself can use better components. However, we can not move in the mining card crooks, NVIDIA Directx has blocked the mining card, even if the welding interface can not be output, mining machine or 'quiet' used to mine it.
