Recently, Avalon brand was accepted by Canaan Creative. The company offered certain ideas regarding the equipment for mining which could help Avalon become more popular and prosperous. Avalon 6 is an impressive equipment, one of the latest equipment that contains 18 nm A3218 chips that work at 500 MHz for reaching the most respectable hash rate which equals 2,5 TH/s. This rate is very close to the rate of AntMiner model S7.

Supply of power

This very mine-worker will undoubtfully work perfectly with a good power supply at 1100 W and higher. The mine-worker works at a decent level using 1050 W. If you use a power supply with a platinum-rating you will have the best result.

Noise

Avalon 6 mine-worker is quiet enough, however, we would still not recommend you to place it in your bedroom or living room. The device will reduce the level of noise by underclocking.

To set up the unit properly you will have to buy and use Raspberry Pi or TP-Link TL-WR703N. From one Raspberry Pi, you will be able to maintain up to 50 mine-workers. The unit finds the IP address itself, therefore, you will not have to apply special skills and knowledge. Use one of the control panels Avalon or Cgminer to set up and control the unit. All necessary basic and extra settings are available on it.

Temperature

The ideal temperature for the unit to work and operate properly is below 35°C / 95°F. The unit’s standard frequency of work is 500 MHz and it can be easily adjusted if necessary. The unit’s construction has got only one fan which is enough for cooling the system down.

The conclusion

As we have already said in the beginning of the review, Avalon 6 is a really serious competitor of AntMiner S7. The unit is still less effective than the model S7 of AntMiner, however, there are plenty of setting up options that will suit your requirements and needs.

Compared with AntMiner S7, Avalon 6 is a little bit more expensive just $20 more. However, when we compare Avalon 6 with AntMiner S9 we can see a huge difference. AntMiner S9 costs around $2000.
