Are these fans quite efficient ?

They seem to be very quit at max speed as for efficient never really paid to much attention so thy must be . lol

about as loud as a CPU fan on a water cooler at 80 % use age so not loud at all . all my PC use water cooling i used to power game a lot and box with five accounts in WOW . 8 when i played EQ 1, 4 box SwTor. then i discovered bitcoins and gaming go very boring.

Hmm I may invest in a couple these fans , my old gaming rig had some lovely loud fans =[ , But my new rig is very quiet but since thinking about bitcoin , I havnt touched my wow acc or css or any other game now . Just looking forward in to learning more about bitcoin

Hi, i had 5 of the compacs running, then switched a few around for better airflow, and 1 of the 5 wont start to hash - (it was previously)

The green light is on, nut no blinking.

I started with a different USB 2.0 powered hub- it was from the old BUYAHASH I found in microcenter which claims to be able to push at least 1Amp per port, and was running in cgminer fine. - unsure of how its able to push at least 1 Amp per port? it is 5Amps total i think?

here is the link to the hub page at microcenter and a breif description:

This model is designed for ports that require a high amount of electricity, and should be able to provide at least 5v/1a, or greater per port."

Is there a way to reset that one that doesn't hash now?

I am just running them at freq of 175 and the potentiometer is top left corner on each (flat part)

The other 4 are hashing at around 9.5 to 10 GH/s each

thanks!

and those little fan are amazing I use two . and very cheap and work like a beast. keep my compac super cool lol .

What fan is that please?

That USB fan on the left top it looks like one i use . if not my bad . look like this one http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Mobile-Fan-External-Cooling/dp/B00080G0BK/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1447976157&sr=8-6&keywords=usb+fan

I have two of the 12 CM ones at that link which I got a while back for 14 bucks at one time .

I think even if your only running at freq 175, with where you said you have the pot set, your pulling more power per stick than you need, so it could still be a power issue. The 4 are using up enough power to keep the 5th one from hashing.

Pull 1 of the stick's that "is" hashing and see if the 1 that's not hashing starts to hash. If it does, you know it's because of power.

I've had the same problem with a stick not mining when I'm changing voltage. I find that turning the adjustment screw back to default works, sometimes it takes a few attempts and use no higher than 300 with good cooling / 150 without.

EDIT: Several times I've thought I'd killed a stick only for it to come back to life after a small screw / voltage adjustment

.

i guess sense i haven't done anything other then change the freg like 200 to 250 etc never touched the reset or back panel, so i guess that's why i don't think of it, i know i can, but i never use it , so it never comes to mind.

usb hub is a
http://www.microcenter.com/product/431657/7-Port_USB_30_Aluminum_Hub

Looks like this one ?

http://www.ebay.fr/itm/331620565421?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

lol ...yea, it looks like the BUYAHASH company just re-branded it and gave bad specs?

so first they say:

Super 10 separate USB ports, support 10 devices simultaneously, supports 500TB large capacity hard disk; can support 10 phones ,While charging (available for ipad / iphone charging). Each USB port provides charging current 500mA

then in the QnA they say:

3, use the product that can recharge the device or IPHONE?
Answer: (1) the product each port to provide 5 v, current 750 ma, in your time limitation of the charging request is not high, can charge, because of the device, the IPHONE must to charge when activate the USB protocol, so the charge must be connected to computer at the same time, and charging current is limited to 500 ma.

so what is the real deal? lol

nice that sound some tihng like what this does which i use .

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817707235

i have a few other hubs laying around that turned out to be junk and even has good reviews .

I saw that startec hub actually and called them up, they said they dont sell any hubs which can do 1A per port...so i didnt get it...good thing

So is there a ways to reset the single gekko that is not hashing at all, but was previously?

thanks!

pulling it out plug it back in while bfg/cg is runing if the green lite only on . that should do it or does for me.

also in minera am starting to see more entries like:

COMPAC13
COMPAC14
COMPAC15

It seems to be reproducing them, looks like this:

any idea on that?

reboot the PI from time to time minera does that i found, if i reboot the pi it loads in right, if you didn't if that doesn't work turn off everything then turn on the pi and go from there .

ON my Gblack one time i think i saw it load in 30 blades so i did reboot and it loaded up the 10 i have in the right order etc . i think i even saw it once load in 6 compac when i run in miera one time til i rebooted then it showed one .
