Goldshell SC6 SE (17 TH/s)

The Goldshell SC6 SE (17TH) is an air-cooled ASIC miner for the Blake2b-Sia algorithm, released in September 2022. It delivers 17TH/s at 3300 W, which works out to about 194 J/TH. Among the Blake2b-Sia machines compared on MinerCompare that makes it the third most efficient, behind only the iBeLink BM-S3 Plus and BM-S3, and the fastest Goldshell model on the list. It mines Siacoin (SC) and BTCB2, the Bitcoin fork that moved to the same hash, and MinerCompare calculates its profit with whichever of the two pays more at your electricity rate. At 3300 W electricity is by far the largest running cost, so the result depends heavily on your price per kWh. This is a full-size industrial machine, not a desktop box like the SC-BOX: it suits operators with cheap power, a dedicated room or workshop a…nd a proper electrical circuit, not someone looking for a quiet unit for the home.

The SC6 SE measures 264 x 200 x 290 mm and weighs 11.5 kg, which is compact for a 3.3 kW machine. Its noise is rated at 80 dB, so it belongs in a garage, workshop or separate mining room and never in a living space. Cooling is by air with two fans, and the operating range is 5 to 45 °C at 5 to 95 % humidity. Keep the intake air cool and the exhaust path free, because 3300 W ends up as the same amount of heat in the room. Ethernet is the only network connection, so run a cable to your router or switch. The listed supply is 220 V, and at 3300 W the machine draws about 15 A, so plan a dedicated circuit with a cable, outlet and breaker rated for that load instead of a shared socket. Within the Goldshell range, the SC6 SE sits above the SC5 Pro 2 (14TH) and SC5 Pro (11TH) in hashrate and ahead… of them in efficiency (236 and 256 J/TH), while the SC-BOX and SC-BOX 2 are small 35 dB desktop models built for much lower output.
