IceRiver AE3 (600MH)

IceRiver’s ALEO AE3 arrives like a cheeky manifesto against mediocrity-a compact, ruthlessly optimized zkSNARK ASIC built to wrestle Aleo’s zero-knowledge proofs with purpose and polish: 600 MH/s of raw hashrate, a 1000 W draw and a refined efficiency of about 1.667 J/MH make it one of the more economical, highly specialized entries in the emerging zk-focused hardware ecosystem, engineered for environments where computational density, precise power control and thermal discipline decide winners and also-rans; released in June 2025, the AE3’s small footprint (205 x 110 x 202 mm), conservative 45 dB noise profile and standard Ethernet connectivity make it equally at home in a quiet home lab or a rack-driven farm, while universal 100–240 V support and stable operation from 5 °C to 45 °C broaden deployment options; practical users will appreciate that its compact chassis and thermal design suit space‑sensitive setups and stacked rack configurations-provided intake and exhaust are respected, ambient temps kept below the upper limit, and a reliable power and network source is used-so monitoring hashrate, temperature and fan behavior over the network is recommended for sustained efficiency; in short, the AE3 is a purpose-built, niche-optimised tool for Aleo mining that pares away bravado in favor of measured performance, low acoustic impact and the real-world considerations that separate posturing from productivity.

The IceRiver ALEO AE3 is a focused, purpose-built ASIC for zkSNARK mining that delivers predictable, production-ready performance; it produces 600 MH/s while consuming 1000 W, which equates to about 1.667 J per megahash and places efficiency at the center of its value proposition. Its acoustic output is restrained at 45 dB, making it fit for quiet labs and colocated racks alike, and standard Ethernet provides straightforward remote management and secure network integration. The unit accepts 100–240 V input and operates reliably between 5 °C and 45 °C, with robust humidity tolerance that broadens deployment choices across climates. A compact chassis enables dense installations and stacked racks, but disciplined airflow management is essential to maintain thermal headroom and component longevity. Built from the ground up for Aleo rather than rebranded from general-purpose silicon, the AE3 shows consistent throughput and lower failure risk compared with retrofit solutions. For operators concerned with electrical costs and predictable output, the miner simplifies capacity planning and tightens margin control. Practical upkeep is minimal if routine monitoring of hashrate, temperature and fan behavior is in place, and that vigilance converts raw metrics into operational certainty. In short, the AE3 pairs targeted cryptographic specialization with pragmatic engineering to turn efficiency, low noise and thermal discipline into tangible operational advantage.

zkSNARK ist eine kryptografische Hash-Funktion, die als Rückgrat von Aleo Proof-of-Work-Konsensmechanismus. Dieser Algorithmus verarbeitet Eingabedaten beliebiger Länge und erzeugt einen festen Hash-Wert, der Sicherheit und Integrität im Mining-Prozess gewährleistet.
