Iceriver KS3M
Professional-Grade Miner
This miner draws 3,400W and produces 75 dB of noise — it is designed for dedicated mining environments, not living spaces. Professional-grade miners deliver the highest hashrate and revenue per unit but require proper infrastructure: a 240V circuit, adequate ventilation or exhaust ducting, and a space where noise is not a concern (garage, basement, warehouse, or outdoor enclosure).
For home miners looking for a quieter alternative, consider our Bitcoin Space Heater builds or explore open-source miners like the Bitaxe that are purpose-built for residential environments.
Heater-Class Miner
At 3,400W, this miner outputs approximately 11601 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, the electricity cost of running this miner replaces your heating bill — and you earn Bitcoin on top. In cold climates like Canada, this dual-purpose approach can dramatically improve mining economics. D-Central offers purpose-built Bitcoin Space Heater editions with noise reduction, duct adapters, and heater-mode firmware for seamless home integration.
Profitability Calculator
| Period | Revenue | Electricity Cost | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily | $0.19 | $5.71 | $-5.52 |
| Weekly | $1.35 | $39.98 | $-38.64 |
| Monthly | $5.77 | $171.36 | $-165.59 |
| Yearly | $70.19 | $2,084.88 | $-2,014.69 |
Heating offset estimates the value of heat replacing an electric space heater during heating season (~6 months/year in Canada). Actual savings depend on your heating setup and climate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Iceriver KS3M profitable?
At $0.07/kWh, the Iceriver KS3M currently operates at a daily loss of $5.52. However, profitability can improve with lower electricity rates or rising BTC prices. If used as a space heater, the heating offset may make it economically viable.
Can I mine Bitcoin at home with the Iceriver KS3M?
The Iceriver KS3M has a home mining score of 36/100. With 75 dB noise and 3,400W power draw, it may require a dedicated space like a garage, basement, or outdoor enclosure. Consider noise insulation and proper ventilation.
Can the Iceriver KS3M heat my home?
The Iceriver KS3M outputs approximately 11601 BTU/hr of heat. For reference, a typical space heater produces 5,000-5,500 BTU/hr. All electrical energy consumed by the miner is converted to heat, making it 100% efficient as a heater. D-Central offers Bitcoin Space Heater builds designed specifically for home heating integration.
What power supply does the Iceriver KS3M need?
The Iceriver KS3M draws 3,400W of power. You need a power supply rated for at least 3,740W with appropriate voltage (200-240V AC). D-Central stocks compatible power supplies in our shop. Always use a quality PSU from a reputable manufacturer to protect your investment.
