Any suggestions for correcting a lazy stick?
I'm running two Gekko hubs, three sticks per hub, powered by a 1200W HP power supply with six pin connections, so power shouldn't be an issue. Cooling provided by two 120mm fans on each, one blowing horizontally onto the sinks, one blowing down from above onto the sinks.
All my stick are running steady at 510mHz - 520mHz, but I've got one stick that chronically lags behind. I've tried bumping up the vcore to as much as 1.58v, but I've not been able to normalize it to the others. All the other sticks are sitting around 1.5v on the vcore.
Any suggestions?

Quick question, I'm running two Gekko hubs, three compaq f on each hub, however it is only recognizing four of the six as USB devices. Any suggestions on how to correct this?
Is your PSU enough for the six Compac F ?
Yeah, I was being a idiot. Didn't realize Port D on the Gekko hubs doesn't have USB connectivity.

Where do you get the fan holder for this device? 
Thanks @NotFuzzyWarm
Question for the experts, in your experience, which is the optimum configuration for the CompacF 3D printed fan, pull or push configuration?
as replied in Discord, for cooling heatsinks always use push. additional fans that are pulling are just to assist the pushers.

Thank you for your insight.
Sorry @n0nce for the misunderstanding, I already have these 2 Hubs and the Gekkos running. I was just trying to see which single board computer will give me the optimum setup. I already have them all except the RPi 5.
Nothing to be sorry about. 
It just sounded to me like you were still about to buy the whole setup. For the performance, as I said, I'd use any Pi you already own or can get your hands on for cheap and do check the power consumption. The 4 and 5 can pull a lot more power than the older models, but they might be able to idle down to a comparable level.

As you mentioned, the R909s would be better if I did not have those 2 Hubs and Gekkos.

2 GekkoScience BaseHubs with 6 GekkoScience CompacFs.
That should give you a bit more than 2TH/s for a purchase price of over 1200 bucks without hubs. I'm curious why you wouldn't get one or two R909's for a total of ~1000€ instead (over 4TH/s in total), instead? For GekkoScience CompacFs with their GekkoScience BaseHub, which is better to use, a RPi 3B+ 1GB, RPi 4B 8GB, or a RPi 5 8GB? Also what do you think of Orange Pi 5 Plus with 16 GB of RAM? Or it does not make any difference to what to what I use?
Use the cheapest, lowest-power device for best efficiency. I've ran all my GekkoScience stuff on a Raspberry Pi 2B+, no issues whatsoever and pretty low power consumption.How many sticks are you looking to run?
Thanks.

Great, thanks for your insight.
Raspbian and Ubuntu are both Debian-based so they'll have the same innards. Likely you won't notice a difference.
Were I doing it, I'd plug both hubs into different ports on a single Pi. The internal controller's pipeline and timings won't be any different but I'd feel better about distributing the data payload early on in the stream.

It probably doesn't make any difference. I think all of the above would have enough horsepower to maintain the USB timings. It doesn't take much, until you start loading up a bunch of sticks, and then the problem is more to do with OS scheduler timings interleaving than with CPU/RAM.
Thanks @sidehack.
Should you daisy chain 2 GekkoScience BaseHubs together and plug it in the RPi or should you connect each GekkoScience BaseHub to a separate RPi? Or should you just plug 2 GekkoScience BaseHubs to 2 different USBs on the same RPi?
Also which OS is better on the RPi for the GekkoScience BaseHub with better OS scheduler timings, Raspian or Ubuntu?

Kano,
I fired up my old 2pacs and saw you had an updated Cgminer with improved anti-zombie, so I tried it. Oddly, when I run it, it shows 100mhz which should be 11gh each, but its actually running about 16gh which would be 150mhz (x.11). I checked your site and my batch file that I just copied from my 4.11 folder and everything checks out. While I can clock 225mhz (atm) on 4.11, I get stuck at 150mhz on 4.12+ and it reports 100...
Nm, just saw that it was loading a conf file, so I'm an idiot.
Have a great day, and happy mining.
