I have 8 of them running currently and seems that at 250mhz cooling them with a 110v fan it is causing raspberry to go down? I can't see them running on Kano.is.
I was running them at 450gb on his site.. have to see when I get home.. not sure why it is doing this.

So still no AB on any hub, only direct to the pc and surface. Will try another machine once I get more time. 3 newpacs running at 300 freq, hashing about 67 GH a piece.

What kind of USB hub are you using for running these NewPac sticks?

It's pretty much the same places.
If you see the two bare pads below the bottom yellow thing, near the geometric center of the stick, the left one (to ground, which can be pulled from the USB jack) measures the total voltage (stock is 830mV) and the right one measures the midpoint voltage between the two chips (ideally about 415mV).

I've run sticks at 600MHz on stock voltage (830) with decent stability. These are set to 860 to help out a bit.
Can you please tell me where exactly I need to put the volt meter probes to check voltage?
Previously, I slipped off one of the spots on a 2Pac and now both LEDs stay one. Would like to avoid and mistake with these new ones.

Im using a plugable 7port 60w hub and connected to bitminter which I think supports asic boost. Tried adding the —gekko-newpac-boost flag and had the same issue with it. Starts running fine then decides to decrease hashrate over time. Running without the flag and its doing ok for the past couple of days.

I looked at a few but didn't know what specs the hub is designed for yet. Will be nice anyway since it will run on my desktop to just power through that psu and open up a spot on my power strip as well.
I'll be excited to OC now I have the three we used for media and now on a separate hub. I had to downclock the 2pacs to run the first two I "found". The wife will be mad if I'm up late tinkering on what is my first day off in a few weeks. I'll wake up early and set it up while she sleeps.

We've got some nice 7Amp power bricks that work great with the new hub. Same ones we sourced for the Terminus pods.

Ckpool works fine, it's just the hub. The pool thread has a list of asic boost pools for reference in the reply's. Not sure how updated it is at this point. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/btc-mining-pools-list-104664
I ordered a usb wire, and looks like I can use my desktop psu for power with this. Not a big amazon fan but got same day delivery. Ill get it pumping tonight hopefully or tomorrow. Thanks sidehack.

I have only tried asic boost on Kano.is, where I believe there is an almost flawless implementation.
November 24, 2018, 11:15:05 AM
So I found that my hub is potentially the bottleneck for asic boost not working. Plugged the newpac right into my pc and seemed fine. Both versions of 4.11.1 ran without error for a couple minutes I could spare without cooling compared to in the kdata hub I'm running which would hash up to 20gh then start dropping, throwing nonce errors. I tried the hub on usb 3.0 and 2.0, so next is another device just to be thorough.
I have a surprise from sidehack waiting for me so I'll check out the demo hub he sent to our sourcing agent that he works with. Pretty good timing there.

Yea, surface works fine. I'll adjust once I'm done running around at home.

solo.ckpool.org for me.
darn, i was hoping it would be a simple one.
retried but my basic check seems fine:
- Single NewPac - Windows 7, direct usb no hub
- wiped and downloaded latested windows build
- open up single_test_mining.bat, changed pool.ckpool.org to solo.ckpool.org, added --gekko-newpac-boost
- started up bat, no unusual errors, hashrate as expected. checked in --verbose and still seems normal
-- edit --
note:
if you are running your own build steps and reusing directories, make sure to run the associated autogen / autoreconf + configure steps.
there are some flags in configure.ac that needs to be picked up that will be missed with just a pull & make.

Post the pool name.
I’m going to take an initial assumption and start with bravo-mining.com does not support Asicboost.

I haven't put AB releases on the test stations yet, only using it on my own bench. It worked perfectly for me, pushing six sticks to 145GH each. I've been meaning to update the test stations so maybe that'll reveal an issue VH can track down?
November 23, 2018, 01:49:21 PM
Unfortunately, I found this to be true, also. I am running 6 newpac and three 2-pac sticks at 175MHz on a 49-port eyeboot hub, along with four more newpac sticks, two each on two 10-port Sipolar hubs. With each new release of cgminer 4.11.1, I attempt to use asic boost. It always results in numerous nonce errors on different sticks which forces my hashing rate down by a good 200ghs or more. Once I remove the asic boost statement and restart, it stabilizes and I am no longer seeing the nonce errors. I also have two Terminus pods plugged into the hubs, but it does not seem to be related to USB bandwidth. With Terminus at 200MHz, newpacs at 175MHz, and 2-pacs at 100MHz, I average 600ghs. It took me awhile to figure out that asic boost was causing my problems, and I hope on a future release of cgminer that I will be able to safely use it for the power savings and reduced USB traffic.
I am very impressed with the Sidehack hardware and the Eyeboot and Sipolar hubs (and this is not a compensated endorsement).

Well I have six 2pac's and two newpac's on my kdata 10 port hub now. I do run winX and feel free to rib me for it. I promise I'll work up to linux at some point.
I find that running separate batch files is best for hashrate for 2pacs (at least with my setup). I had all clocked to 200 with zero issues. Was looking to OC more but the newpacs arrived. so now I run them on 4.10.0 at 175 mhz hashing about 19 or more gh. The newpacs are of course on 4.11.1 clocked at 200, diff set at 225, hashing about 45gh each. Only thing is I can't run the asic boost code at all as I get nonce error right off. Otherwise I have 8 sticks mining happily on this hub. I have one more newpac coming to me I might be able to squeeze it in if I run stock 150 on the 2pac's otherwise I'm maxed with this hub linked below. I would go back to sipolar but we'll be testing a hub by sidehack this weekend and hopefully I'll have it myself by next week.

Thanks vh. for example, with a single newpac at 40 gh, diff should be 200? If I'm hashing 200 gh, 1k diff with multiple sticks (just to spell it out for me)?
Yes, that is correct.
