Video focus
This YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJWn86U4J2k) demonstrates the IceRiver KS5L (~12 TH/s) mining Kaspa while creatively using its heat output to melt ice.
Key highlights
-
Specs that matter: ~12 TH/s on kHeavyHash, 3400 W power draw, 283 J/Th energy efficiency, 0–35 °C operating temp, 15 kg weight.
-
Creative use of heat: Miner’s energy output slowly melts ice and dries the entrance—turning wasted heat into a practical benefit.
-
Performance in cold conditions: Runs steadily on Ethernet with efficient air cooling and no reported errors.
-
Practical mining tips: Shows the dual utility of crypto miners in cold environments, highlighting both hashing efficiency and infrastructure considerations.
