Avalon Q Server Unboxing Test: Redefining the New Experience of Home Computing Verification
Hello everyone, I am Zhang Wei. Today, I finally received the long-awaited Avalon Q server. As a veteran in the field of Bitcoin computing verification, I have encountered many servers, but this silent server designed specifically for home use truly impressed me. Next, let’s follow my lens to see its real performance!
1. Unboxing Experience: Simple Yet Not Ordinary
Upon opening the package, the design of the Avalon Q completely overturned my preconceived notions of servers. Traditional servers are often bulky and unattractive, while this one resembles a high-end gaming console, measuring 455mm × 130.5mm × 440mm and weighing only 10.5 kg, making it easy to move with one hand. Besides the server itself, the package includes a power cable, network cable, and user manual, with all accessories included.
The server casing is made of a matte material, providing a delicate touch, and the top and sides are covered with dense heat dissipation holes, ensuring efficient cooling while hinting at its impressive internal capabilities. In terms of interfaces, in addition to the standard USB and RJ45 network ports, it also has a built-in Wi-Fi module, supporting wireless connections, which is incredibly user-friendly for home users!
2. Performance Testing: A Dual Surprise of Computing Power and Energy Efficiency
1. Computing Power Performance: Steady as a Rock
The Avalon Q is equipped with 160 4nm process chips, with an official computing power rating of 90 TH/s. In testing, under standard mode, the computing power remained stable between 89.5-90.2 TH/s, with fluctuations of less than 0.5%, demonstrating very stable performance. Compared to a certain brand of server I used before, where the computing power fluctuation could be controlled within 1%, this is already excellent.
2. Energy Efficiency Ratio: Saving Electricity Means Making Money
The energy efficiency ratio is the core competitiveness of the server. The Avalon Q has an energy efficiency ratio of 18.6 J/TH, and in testing under full load, the power consumption remained stable at around 1674W, completely consistent with the official data. Calculating for 24 hours of verification, the daily power consumption is about 40 kWh (with an electricity price of 0.5 yuan/kWh), resulting in an electricity cost of about 20 yuan. In contrast, similar servers on the market generally have an energy efficiency ratio of over 25 J/TH, making the energy efficiency advantage of the Avalon Q evident.
3. Heat Dissipation and Noise: Silent Computing Verification is Not a Dream
The noise issue of traditional servers has always been a headache, while the Avalon Q emphasizes its “silent” feature. In testing, under standard mode, the noise was controlled between 45-55 decibels, equivalent to the sound of indoor conversation; even when switched to “super mode,” the noise did not exceed 65 decibels, which is at least 20 decibels lower than traditional servers. This is thanks to its innovative dual-turbine silent system, which achieves a perfect balance of efficient heat dissipation and low noise through optimized airflow and low-speed fans.
3. Home Scene Adaptation: From Mining Farm to Study Room
1. Power Compatibility: No Pressure on Household Circuits
The Avalon Q supports 110-240V AC, 50/60Hz adaptive, and can be plugged directly into a household socket without the need for additional circuit modifications. This greatly lowers the usage threshold for home users.
2. Environmental Adaptability: Stable Operation in Wide Temperature Range
The official operating temperature is rated at -5℃ to 35℃. In testing, under a 30℃ indoor environment, the server operated continuously for 24 hours, maintaining a temperature below 65℃ without any overheating or throttling issues. However, if the ambient temperature exceeds 35℃, it is recommended to use a fan or air conditioning to ensure stable operation.
3. Remote Management: Convenient Control via APP
Through a mobile APP, users can view real-time data on the server’s computing power, power consumption, temperature, etc., and it supports remote power on/off and mode switching. This allows home users to easily manage the computing verification status without having to be next to the server at all times.
4. Conclusion: The “Hexagonal Warrior” of Home Computing Verification
After a week of in-depth experience, the Avalon Q server left a deep impression on me:
Strong Computing Power: 90 TH/s computing power is at the leading level among similar home servers;
Excellent Energy Efficiency: An energy efficiency ratio of 18.6 J/TH significantly reduces computing verification costs;
Quiet and Comfortable: Excellent noise control, truly suitable for home environments;
Easy to Manage: Supports multiple connection methods, with convenient APP remote control;
High Cost-Performance Ratio: Compared to professional servers, the price is more affordable, with a shorter payback period.
Of course, it is not perfect. For example, in super mode, the noise may be slightly higher; and during prolonged high-load operation, the heat dissipation holes need to be cleaned regularly. But overall, the Avalon Q server has redefined the standards for home computing verification, allowing ordinary users to easily participate in Bitcoin computing verification and enjoy the growth of digital wealth.
If you are looking for an efficient, silent, and easy-to-use home server, the Avalon Q is definitely worth considering. It is not just a server, but a “passport” to the digital future. Let us witness the new era of home computing verification together!
