IceRiver KS3 ICERIVER KAS KS3

The IceRiver KS3 is a purpose-built, high-performance ASIC miner engineered for the KHeavyHash algorithm and optimized for mining Kaspa (KAS), delivering an 8 TH/s hashrate at a steady power draw of 3,200 W and an energy efficiency on the order of 0.4 J/Gh; it employs precision-tuned power management to maximize hash-per-watt efficiency while maintaining operational stability, which necessitates stable, appropriately rated AC supply and properly configured power distribution at site deployment, and benefits from surge protection and dedicated circuits to prevent interruptions. Its thermomechanical design incorporates a structurally reinforced, dual-phase heat-pipe cooling system that materially improves thermal dissipation relative to conventional air-cooled assemblies and sustains consistent operating temperatures under prolonged load, reducing thermal throttling and component stress; rack-mounting, controlled ambient temperature and humidity, dust mitigation and routine maintenance are recommended to preserve performance and longevity. The device is shipped with a hardened firmware suite that reduces exposure to common attack vectors by employing authenticated firmware update mechanisms, secure boot concepts and encrypted management channels; remote configuration and monitoring are provided via a proprietary encrypted API that supports real-time telemetry for power, temperature and hashrate, granular access controls and remote performance tuning, thereby enabling integration with centralized fleet management and monitoring systems without exposing core system interfaces. Designed for continuous professional operation, the KS3 emphasizes reliability through robust mechanical construction, redundant operational considerations at the system-integration level, and a firmware/maintenance lifecycle intended to minimize downtime and operational risk while providing the remote management and security features expected in commercial-scale mining deployments.

The IceRiver KS3 is a purpose-built ASIC miner tuned for the KHeavyHash algorithm and optimized for Kaspa (KAS) mining, yielding an 8 TH/s hashrate while drawing roughly 3,200 watts and achieving about 0.4 J/Gh, a balance of raw throughput and energy economy achieved through precision power orchestration and adaptive clock control; its architecture abandons the generality of FPGAs for hardened ASIC efficiency and layers an advanced dynamic frequency-tuning system that scales core clocks and voltage according to workload intensity, with an integrated overclocking safeguard to block dangerous voltage excursions and prolong silicon life. Thermally, the KS3 departs from ordinary air-only assemblies by employing a structurally reinforced chassis and a dual-phase heat-pipe array that expedites phase-change heat transport, maintaining stable junction temperatures under continuous load and reducing thermal throttling-benefits that translate into higher sustained hashrates and longer component lifetimes when paired with proper rack-mounting, controlled ambient air, dust mitigation, and routine service intervals. On the systems side, hardened firmware implements secure-boot concepts, authenticated update mechanisms and intrusion-mitigation measures to reduce exposure to common attack vectors, while a proprietary encrypted API enables remote configuration, telemetry streaming of power, temperature and hashrate, granular access control and remote performance tuning so fleets can be integrated into centralized management platforms without exposing core interfaces. Operational deployment favors enterprise practices-stable, appropriately rated AC supply and disciplined power distribution with surge protection and dedicated circuits, UPS-backed graceful shutdown for voltage anomalies, adequate ventilation or room-level HVAC to handle the thermal load, measured rack density to avoid hot spots, and scheduled maintenance cycles for fans, filters and thermal interfaces-to ensure the KS3 delivers continuous, predictable output. For operators seeking to maximize return on infrastructure, the KS3’s robust mechanical build and security-focused firmware reduce the operational overhead of distributed mining fleets, and its remote management hooks allow automated alerting, telemetry retention for trend analysis, and controlled performance tuning to respond to pool conditions or regulatory constraints; treated as part of an integrated deployment with power, cooling and monitoring, the KS3 can serve as a reliable, high-throughput node in commercial-scale Kaspa mining, a compact engine in a larger constellation of machines whose steady hum is managed as precisely as any starship’s core.
