mine are rock solid at 250mhz
using the 10 port bipolar usb hub. which says it can do 10 watts a port.
I think it can do 8 watts and 8 sticks but with only 2 sticks and one on order I most likely won't push it that hard.

I've run sticks at 600MHz on stock voltage (830) with decent stability. These are set to 860 to help out a bit.

Six sticks, 650MHz, VH's latest build with ASICBoost enabled. Let's see how well it holds up overnight.

lol, what kind of voltage are you setting these at to get them stable"ish" and 650MHz?
Currently, have two of them at 200MHz in a 7port plugable.
I notice they drop hash rate to below 1g periodically, display "missing nonces, Toggling ASIC nRST to reset"
Not sure if it's my Satellite connection, the pool, the plugable 7port or the NewPacs themselves causing this drop.
Any ideas?

Looking to get about 10 of these. Any recommendations on a powered hub i can look into?
Plan to run off a raspberry pi if it will accomodate that much.

The best place for information regarding USB hubs to run these sticks can be found in the "USB hub thread" found here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/now-that-usb-sticks-are-being-sold-by-sidehack-here-is-a-new-usb-hub-thread-1779423
Phil started that thread a while back specifically for discussing the best USB hubs for running sidehack's USB miners. I also made a list of the the most powerful/best equipped USB hubs currently on the market for running these USB miners. You can find that post in the hub thread or here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.47752488
Although Phil recently informed me klintay may have sold eyeboot, I will post the list here for convenience.

Software can't make you have 0 chips. That's a hardware issue. Unplug/replug, maybe tighten the heatsink screws and see if it comes back.
no luck
had two fans on my set up with a max MHz of 250. The miner definitely didnt over heat.Ill try to reflash my SD card again with a fresh raspian install and see what happens.

VH - thanks for the new version and options. The new commands make it very nice for running all the Gekko gear on one Pi. It's working great.

I updated to the latest build a few hours back. Only thing it did was make 1 of my newpacs have (0) chips after the recompile and cgminer will stop within minutes with the line root@raspberrypi:home/pi/Desktop. Only using 6 newpacs, 5 now after the rebuild. explored a bit of README and cant find much help.
maybe the sd card is faulty try a 64gb class 10 like this one

I haven't been able to recreate the issue on my RPi3.
I'm assuming you already updated to the latest build from Nov 6 (a few posts back).
Other thoughts:

Other thoughts:
- If you have different miners, use the new options from the latest build to separate them.
- Try reducing the number of miners per instance to see if it makes a difference --usb :3

You could run 10 off a pair of Plugable 7-port, or one of the Sipolar 10-port. 419mining stocks the Plugable so you could buy them at the same time as the sticks.
I don't know the Sipolar (Phil's using one in his review, so ask there about it or look at the hub thread not too far down the page) but with the Plugable you should be able to take 5 sticks to about 100GH each.

which rasp pi?
the 3 the 3 plus or an older version.
how big is the sd or micro sd card?
what is the power brick you use?

using the RPI3B. 16gb SD with a fresh raspian install. Using the adifruit power brick that the pi came with.

Anybody stable on raspian? cgminer is still crashing every 24-48 hours for me. Getting the error : corrup25.789] Shutdown signal received. Really stumped here

i get
except for that minor detail it runs fine
Code:
cgminer version 4.11.1 - Started: [1971-12-25 06:10:28.504]
except for that minor detail it runs fine
Mine does this as well while 4.10 report the correct date/time.

Superb thanks vh!

Vh, does the new cgminer version include asicboost or is it still in development? Thanks.
Yes. Add command line option --gekko-newpac-boost, when connecting to a known Overt AB supported pool.
You can run it once with --verbose to look for the midstate messages, but there's not much noticeable difference otherwise unless you have a USB Amp meter to compare before / after.
@100MHz was 2.65W, with AsicBoost measured 2.35W. (default)
@200MHz was 4.66W, with AsicBoost measured 4.20W. (fan cooled)
@400MHz was 9.63W, with AsicBoost measured 8.38W. (out of support zone)
@600MHz was 13.62W, with AsicBoost measured 12.45W. (damage if fan gets tired zone)
