IceRiver KS3M ICERIVER KAS KS3M

The IceRiver KS3M is a purpose-built ASIC for mining Kaspa with the KHeavyHash algorithm, offering a concise performance profile that pairs a 6 TH/s hashrate with a 3,400 W power draw-an energy efficiency of roughly 0.567 J/Gh-so it reads as an unapologetically specialized tool rather than a jack-of-all-trades; its compact chassis (370 x 195 x 290 mm) and 14.4 kg mass make deployment and rack planning straightforward, while an advanced power-distribution architecture and voltage tolerance from 170–300 V AC guard against supply irregularities and keep sustained throughput stable under heavy loads, and the optimized multi-channel cooling path plus thermal-management tuning maintain safe operation within a 0–35 °C ambient window to minimize throttling and prolong component life; firmware that supports intelligent workload management and dynamic tuning lets the KS3M shift clock and voltage profiles to favor efficiency or throughput as conditions demand, a practical feature for operators who juggle electricity costs, pool latency and ambient temperature, and the miner’s design suits both individual and industrial-scale deployments where density, predictable thermal behaviour and predictable energy per hash matter most-if you map hashrate, power draw and pool parameters into a mining calculator you can forecast run-rate coin yields and sensitivity to power price and block-reward changes, but the real takeaway is that the KS3M is engineered to deliver a tight, reliable KHeavyHash profile with measurable inputs for capacity planning and cooling infrastructure rather than vague marketing claims.

The IceRiver KS3M is a purpose-built KHeavyHash ASIC that balances focused power with thoughtful thermal and electrical engineering, delivering up to 6 TH/s while drawing roughly 3,400 W for an energy efficiency around 0.567 J/Gh, all packaged in a compact 370 x 195 x 290 mm chassis weighing 14.4 kg and designed to accept 170–300 V AC inputs and to run reliably in 0–35 °C ambient conditions; its cooling approach combines high-conductivity thermal interfaces and a reworked airflow path to reduce thermal recirculation in dense racks, and the control electronics feature a refined voltage-regulation module that smooths supply swings and a control-board encryption scheme and signed firmware support to guard against unauthorized modifications, while firmware-level adaptive frequency and voltage scaling allow operators to tune the machine for maximum throughput or best efficiency depending on ambient temperature, pool latency and electricity considerations. For deployment, plan for dedicated high-current supply capacity and proper ventilation or ducting so exhaust avoids intake zones, leave clearance for unobstructed airflow and consider inline dust filters and periodic cleaning to preserve heat-transfer surfaces; use telemetry and logging to monitor hashrate, power draw, and chip temperatures so you can spot drifting behavior early, apply firmware updates and maintain backups of configuration, and experiment with modest downclocking in warmer conditions to extend hardware life. The KS3M’s small footprint and predictable energy-per-hash profile make it well suited for both single-unit hobby setups and higher-density farms, but achieving that reliability in practice means pairing the unit with robust power distribution, planning hot-aisle/cold-aisle arrangements or targeted exhaust routing, and treating cooling capacity and ambient control as first-order design choices rather than afterthoughts.
