No, temerature should only affect the lifetime
Have you ever tested another usb hub? Or even plug one directly into the computer

My HW is down to 0.8% without heatsink or fan after one day.

How is it going for you heatsink and active cooling guys?

I'm mining with 3 units and I'm getting 2% HW after 2 days.

I'm only using a small usb fan for cooling with a room temperature of 23º C.

Do you guys think it's because of the temperature?

But I have a problem with those USB / COM drivers...
See:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2321308

In short:
  • install the zadig driver
  • reboot windows
  • install the cp210x VCP driver

Very important: when you download the CP120x driver from silabs, you get two exe files:
...x64.exe (for 64-bit windows) and ...x86.exe (for 32-bit windows)


i have the same problem

the first day i used the stick following yxt instructions and all worked perfectly

after some hour mining i stopped and turned off the pc

next day i started mining like day before but now:
Icarus Detect: Failed to open COM15
Avalon Detect: Failed to open COM15



i disintalled and reinstalled all like u suggested but the problem persist

i'm on win 7 64 bit (i rightly choosen x64.exe driver)

Are ฿itcoins Radioactive?
Good morning World!

I smell fresh coffee and USB Gizmos... I'm feeling lucky...

Regarding CumpsD offer, if the offer is extended to me and as I'm so bad in Linux, I would love to get he's RPI image, as one of my 3 RPI's is also a v2 512 MBytes.

A bit late, but here it is:

http://cumps.be/btc/

My raspberry pi Image. It's based on standard raspbian wheeze, using cgminer 3.1.1 compiled from github

It uses the hardware watchdog from the Pi to keep cgminer running. cgminer itself runs in a screen, so you can connect to it over SSH from wherever to have a look, and detach again.

I have not upgraded it to cgminer 3.2.0 yet, since there were quite a bit of problems with 3.2.0 and I didn't have time to look at 3.2.1 which was just released.

What does this mean: no hotplug functions! So you have to connect your sticks *BEFORE* booting the Raspberry PI Smiley

Other than that, when it's booted, it just works and you never have to touch it again :p

I've written all the needed instructions on http://cumps.be/btc/

Enjoy!

Many thanks. i'm going to try it.

Those
"Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COMx)"
Are just not working for my both PCs Sad
It's impossible that nobody had this problem yet Sad


the (!) sign means that there is something wrong with the drivers...

do you connect only 1 or more usb miners?
this problem happens if you connect a 2nd miner on a different usb hub.
if i connect it on same hub, it works.

maybe your usb hub dont have enugh power?

and go into device manager and select another comport, dont use com1 as maybe it already is used by onboard comport of your pc.



+1
Thank you!
It was that! Smiley
I was trying to run the ASIC USB on a long cable - maybe the power was too weak Smiley

Received my USB ASICs (thanks!).

But I have a problem with those USB / COM drivers...

... edit ...

Probably I did something wrong?

My system is Windows XP / Windows 7 = both with the same problem...
Any ideas how to help? Smiley I would like to support the BTC Network Cheesy


I used yxt's instructions https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2299251

1) download cgminer-3.1.1

2) install the windows driver (in yxt's link)

3) plug in the usb and note the COM port it sits on

4) create a windows batch file (slush.bat) and enter similar to this:

C:\cgminer-3.1.1-windows\cgminer.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM3 -S //./COM4 -o http://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD
