#etc# #zil# Unboxing Review: Xuanniao C1 Server - Combination of High Performance and High Efficiency
With the development of blockchain technology and the prosperity of the mining market, powerful and efficient servers have become the first choice for miners. Today, Li Yi will unveil the mystery of Xuanniao C1, a new generation of Xuanniao servers, to see how it performs in terms of performance, energy efficiency and user experience.
1. Unboxing experience
The packaging design of Xuanniao C1 is simple and sturdy, and the outer box adopts double-layer protection, which can well prevent bumps and damage during transportation. After unpacking, the server body is wrapped in thick foam, and the accessories are neatly placed, including:
A power cord
Quick Installation Guide
Warranty card and certificate
The server body is made of metal, with a compact structure and an industrial style. Two large cooling fans can be seen from the front, and the back is equipped with an interface area, including a power interface and a network cable socket, which are reasonably laid out for easy connection.
2. Appearance and design
The Xuanniao C1 measures 400 x 195 x 290 mm, which is slimmer than similar servers, making it space-saving and ideal for side-by-side placement of multiple servers.
The whole machine is moderately heavy and uses a high-strength metal shell, which can not only improve the heat dissipation efficiency but also ensure the durability of long-term work. In addition, the fan design is excellent, with silent optimization. The official nominal noise is 60dB, and the actual noise during operation is indeed within an acceptable range, which is very suitable for home or small mine use.
3. Performance
The highlight of Xuanniao C1 lies in its high computing power and stability:
Hashrate: The official nominal hashrate is 12600 MH/s. During the test, under standard conditions (room temperature 25°C), the hashrate fluctuation range was very small, reaching 12580~12650 MH/s, which is an excellent performance.
Supported algorithms: Xuanniao C1 supports the Etchash algorithm and can mine mainstream currencies ETC (Ethereum Classic) and ZIL (ZIL) to meet diverse mining needs.
Power consumption: The rated power consumption of the server is 3300 W. Combined with high computing power, the energy efficiency ratio reaches a satisfactory level, making it an outstanding product among similar servers.
4. Heat dissipation and noise performance
Heat dissipation is one of the core issues for long-term operation of servers. Blackbird C1 is equipped with two sets of high-performance fans and adopts an optimized air duct design to quickly dissipate heat. After 8 hours of continuous operation, the body temperature was maintained at around 60°C and the performance was stable. In addition, the measured noise data is 60~65dB. Although it is not "quiet level", it has been significantly improved compared to many high-power servers.
5. Installation and Operation
The installation process of Xuanniao C1 is very simple. Users only need to:
Connect the power supply and network cable;
Configure the server IP in the mine's pool;
Enter the computing power and mining address to start mining.
The official management interface is user-friendly and fully functional. Users can monitor the server's computing power, power consumption, and temperature in real time. It also supports remote operation for easy equipment maintenance.
