Goldshell AE MAXII server 177 opened 7913 box 0177 review: How powerful is this 540MH/s ZK monster?
2025 is just over half, and the Aleo track is heating up. In this windfall, Goldshell has finally brought its latest flagship product—AE MAXII, with a clear positioning, focusing on Aleo mining, equipped with zkSNARK algorithm, with a default hash rate of up to 540MH/s±5%. Today, editor Li Yi will unbox and test this 'heavy weapon' to see how its performance, noise, and power consumption are.
📦 Unboxing: Heavy-duty shell, compact structure
The machine packaging continues the classic Goldshell hard cardboard style, providing adequate protection. Upon opening, you can see:
Whole machine dimensions: 264 x 200 x 290 mm
Weight: approximately 12.45 kg
Includes power cable and documentation, interfaces are clear at a glance
The whole machine uses a metal shell + industrial-grade craftsmanship, sturdy and durable structure. The front and rear dual fan design shows a powerful cooling system, with a measured fan speed of up to 7000 RPM, detailed later.
⚙️ Core parameters: explosive performance, not low power consumption
The official standard parameters are as follows:
Default hash rate: 540MH/s±5%
Power: 3200W±5%
Energy efficiency ratio: 5.93 J/M (joules/megawatt)
Algorithm: zkSNARK
Compatible coin: Aleo
Voltage support: Wide voltage 185~285V, 16A cable interface
Network: Ethernet only
Measured data basically conforms to official descriptions. Stabilizes within 35 minutes after powering on, with very little fluctuation, maintaining between 530~545MH/s.
🔊 Noise & Cooling performance: strong wind, but not chaotic
Don’t be fooled by its size; the wind power is quite strong. Two high-speed fans make it reach nearly 85 decibels of noise during operation, it is recommended to use a soundproof box or independent room if the windows are closed indoors.
However, the high rotation speed also brings extremely strong cooling performance. Even after running continuously for 6 hours, the machine temperature remains within a reasonable range, and the heatsink area is not hot to the touch, with a reasonable airflow design with no dead spots.
🧠 User experience summary: a bit wild, definitely worth it
After a few days of use, here are a few personal experiences summarized:
Stable hash rate is the biggest advantage, essentially running at full power once plugged in, not sensitive to voltage;
Slightly higher requirements for the power grid, it is recommended to use with a 16A circuit to avoid tripping;
Excellent cooling performance but noise should not be underestimated, not recommended for bedroom or living room;
zkSNARK algorithm optimization is good, the Aleo project is currently hot, and the payback period has potential;
The workmanship of the finished product is quite solid, considered one of the most industrial designs in Goldshell's history.
🧾 Conclusion: Aleo heavy weapon, worth collecting
In the current flourishing Aleo server market, Goldshell AE MAXII stands out with its high hash rate, high efficiency, and stable output, making it the top choice for mainstream Aleo mining players. Especially suitable for users with independent space who pursue stable returns, worth serious consideration.
If you are also preparing to enter the Aleo space, this 'little cannon' might just be your starting point.#aleo
