Looks good to me. Like the filter. I use something similar on my rack with with other units. Nice to reduce the need to open up and dust.

I’m surprised just how much it collects lol

Thanks I’m pleased with it  Smiley

Also I noticed yesterday that the R606 was resetting quite often on Voltage 6 so bumped it up to Level 7 and left it for a few hours. It didn’t help so thought to myself I’ll try going down the Level 5, amazingly its running better setting the voltage lower  Shocked

Thank you.  No, it looks brand new.

EDIT:  So after letting the miner sit for a few days I tried it again.  Up and running just fine.  Very strange...

Sorry, whats a PCB?  Yes, different port on hub and different hub altogether.  I have not touched the voltage on any of them.

Any signs of anything on the PCB itself? Have you tried in a different port on the hub? Have you adjusted the voltage pot at any point since you received it?

What device number was it listing in cgminer when it stopped?

I didn't catch that unfortunately.

I know you said you have good cooling on it, so its most likely not a overheating issue. Can you try unplugging it for an hour or so and see if it works after that? just give it a nice rest to discharge and reset all the vcore strings.

it sounds strange, but does correct the issue some times.

I just tried it again and CGMiner flashed ZOMBIE.  Then found 0 chips.  Both lights are illuminated.  Other 3 are humming away.

Good Morning,

Woke up this morning to one of my NewPacs not working.  Both the green and white lights were solid.  I removed it from the hub and ran it on a separate instance of CGMiner to isolate it.  No dice.  Any idea what may have happened?  I did have it running at 300MHz for about 4 days with no problems and with active cooling.

Thank you.

What hub are you using? Also the pi3 shares the usb bus with the ethernet connection (i think from what ive read in here) and it will saturate the bandwith and cause issues.

i use the original gekkoscience hyena hub-,  so may i try connecting with wlan instead of ethernet? in this theory it could solve it, right?

sounds like a Kernel panic, theres a known bug in cgminer on Raspbian having to do with the SLUB debugging (slub_debug=FP fix) that causes kernel panic. This may not be the problem, but a good place to start. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5932931

Glad you got it sorted. Just as a heads up, when I ran on win10 it did drop tge sticks out occasionlly and if left to run it will run out of numbers (dont know the texhnical term) and then the sticks will stop running completely. Just keep an eye on it and restart it if you notice them dropping out.

Will do.  1 is running now.  Other 3 should be arriving today.  Thanks again!

Hi guys,

i have 2 Problems with my NewPacs. I'm running 9 Newpacs and 2 2Pacs on my Raspberry Pi 3b+ with Raspbian.

After sometimes 1 hour sometimes 3-4 hours it stopps mining and i get an output like this:

Code:
Message from syslogd@raspberry 
 kernel:[1637.374589] 7fa080101000 802bfb61.195013205.5201d18 00075.61 802c55 ...

Second Problem is: I bought 6 new Newpac miner.

One of them was running for about 1 hour, than 0 Asics found. They are running at 250MHz and are cool running i have 2 80mm² *-100m³/h  Fans for 6 Sticks. The Older sticks are also running for over one year without Problem same setting.

Thank you!  That did it.  Holding steady at 300MHz for over an hour.  

I read through the entire 70+ page thread but forgot the simple stuff on page 1.  Smiley

Ill give the low boost command a try.  If it does not work ill go back to no boost command.

Edit:  Low Boost is also holding steady at specified MHz.  Thanks again!
