[Exclusive unboxing review] IceRiver AE2 makes a stunning debut! 720Mh/s silent "cold-blooded warrior"
The mining circle has been changing, from barbaric growth to refined operation, and keywords such as "low noise, high energy efficiency, and strong stability" have gradually become the new favorites of miners. Just when editor Li Yi was trying to find a "quiet and capable" machine-it appeared!

The protagonist of today's unboxing is the new masterpiece from the IceRiver family: IceRiver AE2 Aleo Miner, a cold-blooded warrior who quietly does great things!

📦 The first look after unboxing: square and tough, with online texture
From the appearance point of view, AE2 continues IceRiver's consistent industrial design language, with a tough overall shape and neat lines. The metal shell adopts a low-reflective matte process, which is not easy to get fingerprints in your hand and is relatively friendly when carrying.

The size of this machine is 560×314×382 mm. The overall volume is not small, but it wins in clear structure and unobstructed air duct. The net weight of the machine is 15.5kg, which is not light, but the weight is just right - let you know that it is not a "toy".

The fan layout is very regular: the two large-caliber fans in the front are responsible for air intake, and there are two small fans in the back to help with heat dissipation. The whole system forms a stable and efficient airflow channel, which is worthy of professional server design.

🔌 Wiring experience: one-step power-on, fool-proof operation
AE2 is equipped with a standard Ethernet interface, the wiring area is concentrated on the top, and the power cord is routed to the back, avoiding clutter on the front.

After powering on, the fan first performs a "self-check acceleration" and then switches to a stable operation mode. This machine starts very quickly, and it only takes about 10 seconds from pressing the power button to reading the IP, and the management backend responds promptly.

IP allocation supports DHCP automatic acquisition, and there is no need to manually set a fixed IP, which is very friendly to novices.

🧪 Actual performance: silent + stable, double surprise!

🔊 Noise performance: true "office-level silent"
Put the server in a closed small room for operation, and the actual noise measurement is about 58.7 decibels, which is a little lower than the official nominal, similar to the feeling of "quiet study + fan running", even if it is placed in the next room, it will not cause any trouble at all.

Compared with the "takeoff" mode of traditional ASICs, which is 75~80dB, AE2 is simply "Buddhist practice".

🔋 Power consumption performance: precise control, controllable energy consumption
With a voltage-stabilized power supply, the monitoring power consumption is kept at a small fluctuation between 1275~1310W, which is completely in line with the nominal range. The energy efficiency ratio is calculated in multiple time periods, which is about 1.8W/Mh, which is an excellent student among the current zkSNARK servers.

💻 Computing power stability: "online workers" around the clock
After 48 hours of continuous operation, the server did not experience computing power fluctuations or disconnection in a 24℃ environment. The background data shows that the computing power is stable at 718~728Mh/s, and the curve is extremely smooth, proving that its cooling system and chip frequency modulation are very stable.

🧊 Cooling system: Air cooling can also be "cool as ice"
The cooling of Glacier AE2 is not achieved by stacking fans, but by the combined effect of efficient air ducts + chip self-adjusting frequency + high thermal conductivity module. Although the front and rear 4 fans look "low-key", the temperature control performance is good:

The chip temperature is kept between 65℃ ~ 70℃;

The air outlet temperature is only around 45℃;

The temperature rise of the environment is very small, which is especially suitable for indoor layout or small mining environment.

✅ Summary evaluation: Is it worth buying?

Glacier AE2 is an Aleo server that is "silent, stable, and power-saving". Although it is not ostentatious in appearance, it is very impressive in actual operation.

Recommended for:

Noise-sensitive home/office miners;

Small computer rooms that focus on energy efficiency;

Early adopters of the Aleo ecosystem, looking forward to long-term stable output;

💡 Advantages review:
✔ Ultra-quiet operation, as quiet as office equipment
✔ Stable computing power, almost no fluctuation
✔ Wide voltage input, good adaptability
✔ Easy installation, user-friendly
✔ Solid heat dissipation, adaptable to a variety of environments

These days, servers are no longer just about "fast, fierce and accurate", but also about "stable, quiet and economical". The Glacier AE2 is the clear stream under this new trend.

If you are also looking for an Aleo server that "works low-key and produces coins efficiently", AE2 is worth having! #aleo#
