Iceriver KS3 Specifications

Specification note: IceRiver officially lists the Iceriver KS3 at 8TH/s ±10%, 3,200W ±10%, 170–300V AC, Ethernet connectivity and an operating temperature range of 0°C to 35°C.

The Iceriver KS3 should not be confused with the KS3L or KS3M. These models have different hashrates, power ratings and efficiency levels.

Iceriver KS3 Kaspa Mining Performance

The Iceriver KS3 generates approximately eight trillion kHeavyHash calculations per second under nominal operating conditions.

Because the published rating includes a ±10% tolerance, the local dashboard may display values slightly above or below 8TH/s. Pool-side accepted hashrate can also vary because of share timing, pool latency and network conditions.

Factors That Affect Performance

• Ambient temperature
• Airflow quality
• Firmware version
• Power-supply stability
• Ethernet reliability
• Pool server location
• Rejected or stale shares
• Hashboard condition
• Cooling-fan condition
• Continuous uptime

Operators should compare the local Iceriver KS3 dashboard with accepted pool-side performance over several hours. Short peaks or temporary drops do not always represent long-term hashrate.

Important Monitoring Values

• Real-time hashrate
• Average pool-side hashrate
• Accepted shares
• Rejected shares
• Stale shares
• Hashboard status
• Chip temperatures
• Fan speeds
• Measured wall power
• Pool latency

Iceriver KS3 Power Efficiency

The calculated efficiency of the Iceriver KS3 is:

3,200W ÷ 8TH/s = approximately 400J/TH

The same result may be expressed as approximately 0.4J/GH.

Efficiency measures how much electricity the miner uses to produce a unit of hashrate. It does not guarantee profit.

When comparing the Iceriver KS3 with other Kaspa miners, consider:

• Hashrate
• Energy efficiency
• Purchase price
• Local electricity cost
• Cooling requirements
• Shipping expenses
• Warranty coverage
• Pool fees
• Hardware condition
• Expected useful life

Iceriver KS3 Electricity Consumption

At a continuous nominal load of 3,200W, estimated electricity consumption is:

• 76.8kWh per day
• 537.6kWh per week
• 2,304kWh per 30-day month
• 28,032kWh per year

Estimated monthly electricity costs are:

• At $0.04/kWh: approximately $92.16
• At $0.05/kWh: approximately $115.20
• At $0.06/kWh: approximately $138.24
• At $0.08/kWh: approximately $184.32
• At $0.10/kWh: approximately $230.40
• At $0.15/kWh: approximately $345.60
• At $0.20/kWh: approximately $460.80
• At $0.30/kWh: approximately $691.20

Because the Iceriver KS3 power rating includes a ±10% tolerance, actual electricity use may be higher or lower than these estimates.

Cooling equipment, extraction fans, network hardware and electrical-distribution losses may increase the total facility cost.

Iceriver KS3 Kaspa Compatibility

The Iceriver KS3 is designed for Kaspa mining through the kHeavyHash proof-of-work algorithm.

Kaspa uses a blockDAG-based network architecture and relies on kHeavyHash for network security. The miner is therefore specialized for Kaspa-compatible workloads rather than general-purpose cryptocurrency mining.

The machine cannot efficiently mine:

• Bitcoin using SHA-256
• Litecoin using Scrypt
• Dogecoin using Scrypt
• Alephium using BLAKE3
• Monero using RandomX
• Nexa using NexaPow
• Radiant using SHA512256d

Learn more through the official Kaspa website and review product specifications through the official IceRiver KS3 product page.

Iceriver KS3 Mining-Pool Configuration

The Iceriver KS3 connects to compatible Kaspa mining pools through Ethernet.

Pool setup normally requires:

• A compatible Kaspa Stratum server
• A Kaspa wallet address or pool account
• A worker name
• A pool password
• Secondary and tertiary backup pools

Pool Selection Checklist

• Kaspa support
• Pool fee
• Payout method
• Minimum payout threshold
• Regional server availability
• Historical uptime
• Worker monitoring
• Support response time
• Pool hashrate concentration

After configuring the Iceriver KS3, confirm that the pool dashboard shows accepted shares and an average hashrate reasonably close to the expected output.

Iceriver KS3 Electrical Requirements

The official input range for the Iceriver KS3 is approximately 170–300V AC.

Approximate current at the nominal 3,200W load is:

• Approximately 18.82A at 170V
• Approximately 16A at 200V
• Approximately 14.55A at 220V
• Approximately 13.33A at 240V
• Approximately 10.67A at 300V

Actual current may vary because of input voltage, startup behaviour, power factor and PSU efficiency.

Electrical Preparation

• Correctly grounded high-voltage circuit
• Properly rated breaker
• Cables sized for continuous load
• Compatible power connectors
• Overcurrent protection
• Surge protection
• Secure electrical connections
• Emergency disconnect access
• Compliance with local electrical codes

A qualified electrician should inspect the installation before the Iceriver KS3 is connected.

Iceriver KS3 Cooling and Placement

The Iceriver KS3 converts approximately 3.2kW of electricity into continuous heat. It therefore requires strong ventilation and reliable hot-air extraction.

Cooling Recommendations

• Keep intake openings clear.
• Provide an unobstructed exhaust path.
• Separate hot exhaust from cool intake air.
• Prevent hot-air recirculation.
• Use adequate extraction fans.
• Consider properly designed exhaust ducting.
• Monitor inlet and outlet temperatures.
• Keep the room below 35°C.
• Remove dust from fans and heatsinks.
• Do not operate the miner in a sealed cabinet.

Although the official product page does not publish a precise noise figure, the Iceriver KS3 should be treated as an industrial air-cooled miner rather than a quiet home device.

Iceriver KS3 Installation Guide

1. Inspect the package for transport damage.
2. Confirm that the factory label states KS3.
3. Verify the voltage, hashrate and power ratings.
4. Place the miner on a stable rack or shelf.
5. Provide unobstructed intake and exhaust airflow.
6. Connect the Ethernet cable.
7. Connect the approved power system.
8. Power on the miner.
9. Locate its IP address through the router or IceRiver tool.
10. Open the web-based management interface.
11. Change default credentials where supported.
12. Enter the primary Kaspa pool address.
13. Add the wallet or pool-account information.
14. Configure backup pool servers.
15. Save the settings.
16. Wait for the miner to begin submitting shares.
17. Monitor hashrate, temperatures and rejected shares.

During initial operation, monitor the Iceriver KS3 for unstable hashrate, excessive temperature, repeated restarts, abnormal fan noise and overheated power connections.

Iceriver KS3 Maintenance

Routine maintenance helps the Iceriver KS3 maintain stable cooling, networking and pool-side performance.

• Inspect all cooling fans.
• Remove dust from fan guards and heatsinks.
• Monitor chip and hashboard temperatures.
• Compare local and pool-side hashrate.
• Review rejected shares and hardware errors.
• Inspect power cables for heat damage.
• Check Ethernet cables and network switches.
• Maintain room extraction equipment.
• Back up pool settings before firmware updates.
• Use only firmware intended for the KS3.
• Disconnect power before cleaning or servicing.

Do not install firmware intended for the KS3L, KS3M, KS5L or another IceRiver model.

Iceriver KS3 Buying Considerations

Before purchasing an Iceriver KS3, evaluate the full ownership cost rather than focusing only on the product price.

Check Before Ordering

• Exact KS3 model name
• 8TH/s hashrate rating
• 3,200W power specification

Be cautious with listings that guarantee fixed daily income. Kaspa price, network difficulty, pool fees, electricity and machine uptime can change at any time.

Contact Hash Titans to confirm current stock, shipping details and purchase support for the Iceriver KS3.

Iceriver KS3 Warranty and Shipping

IceRiver states that the Iceriver KS3 includes a 180-day warranty from the shipment date for eligible original customers who purchase directly from IceRiver.

Resold miners may be covered by the reseller rather than IceRiver. Buyers should confirm warranty responsibility before placing an order.

• Confirm whether the miner is in stock or preorder.
• Verify the expected dispatch batch.
• Check whether the power supply and cables are included.
• Review shipping-insurance coverage.
• Confirm customs duties and import taxes.
• Inspect the package immediately after delivery.
• Photograph any transport damage before installation.
