Profitability Comparison
iBeLink BM-S3+
Goldshell HS5
Based on BTC price of $73,464 and current network difficulty as of May 30, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Run the numbers across every spec and the iBeLink BM-S3+ edges it: 5 of 6 factors go its way (efficacité, hashrate, score de minage domestique, niveau sonore, rapport qualité-prix). The standout gap is 826% more hashrate (25.0 vs 2.7 TH/s) in the iBeLink BM-S3+'s favour. That said, the Goldshell HS5 isn't beaten everywhere — it still wins consommation électrique. The right pick still depends on your power cost and noise tolerance — the breakdowns above make that call concrete.
Spec Deltas
Stripped to the numbers, this is how far apart the iBeLink BM-S3+ and Goldshell HS5 sit on each measurable spec:
- iBeLink BM-S3+ 826% more hashrate (25.0 vs 2.7 TH/s)
- Goldshell HS5 22% better power draw (3,400 vs 2,650 W)

- iBeLink BM-S3+ 64% more score de minage domestique (36.0 vs 22.0)
Cost & ROI Over Time
A miner pays for itself in profit, not specs. These projections track upfront cost against one, two and three years of net earnings at $0.10/kWh.
| iBeLink BM-S3+ | Metric | Goldshell HS5 |
|---|---|---|
| $3,299 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $949 |
| -$7.33 | Daily net profit | -$6.27 |
| -$5,974 | Net after 1 year | -$3,238 |
| -$8,649 | Net after 2 years | -$5,526 |
| -$11,324 | Net after 3 years | -$7,815 |
| Does not pay back at current rates (negative daily profit) | Payback period | Does not pay back at current rates (negative daily profit) |
Projections assume continuous operation, a flat $0.10/kWh rate, and no hardware degradation, pool fees, or BTC price change. Real-world ROI varies.
