IceRiver KS1
Mid-range Kaspa miner from IceRiver with 1 TH/s. Higher noise level makes it less ideal for home use without acoustic treatment.
Heater-Class Miner
At 600W, this miner outputs approximately 2047.2 BTU/hr of heat — equivalent to a standard electric space heater. Every watt consumed by an ASIC miner is converted to heat with 100% efficiency, making it a space heater that also mines Bitcoin.
During heating season, miner heat can offset part of the heat a room would otherwise need from another electric heater. The economics depend on your electricity rate, room heat demand, BTC price, network difficulty, and noise constraints.

Home Mining Assessment
Mid-range Kaspa miner from IceRiver with 1 TH/s. Higher noise level makes it less ideal for home use without acoustic treatment.
The IceRiver KS1 is a KHeavyHash cryptocurrency miner manufactured by IceRiver. It delivers a hashrate of 1 TH/s with a power consumption of 600W, achieving an efficiency of 600 J/TH.
Built on the Custom ASIC ASIC chip, uses air cooling, operates at 65 dB noise level, weighs 15 kg, measures 370x195x290.
With a home mining score of 51/100, this miner is moderately suitable for residential use. It produces 2047.2 BTU/h of heat output, making it suitable for supplemental space heating.
At 600 J/TH, the IceRiver KS1 sits in the legacy efficiency tier, so it is most economical run as a space heater or for hobby and learning setups rather than for pure profit.
Its waste heat (around 2047.2 BTU/h) can be ducted into a room, turning money you would otherwise spend on heating into hashrate.
