Can i use this adapter for 8 port metal ? ( https://shopee.vn/12V-1.5A-AC-Power-Adapter-for-Viltrox-L116T-L116B-L132T-L132B-VL-162T-LED-Video-Lights-100-240V-Wide-Voltage-i.80744235.2390906080 ) ! Thanks

No, the GekkoScience Hub needs alot more power than the 1.5 amps that offers. The recommended is 8 amps if using a barrel type (Laptop style) or 10 amps if your using 6Pin power connector.

We carry both a 7A and 8A barrel connector version that have been approved by GekkoScience. I would recommend you use the 8A, or barring that, use a PC power supply that has a spare PCIE 6 pin Power cable free.

the 7 port black one and the 8 port metal one are very similar, the big difference being port 1 was split from the 5/2 group to its own 2A fuse, giving you a full 6A between the two other ports. Then the 8th port add-on to the port 1 fuse was a freebie to give an extra power port for things like fans and raspberry pi's.

Really? I'm genuinely impressed the three-port-shared regulator is able to handle that kind of juice.

Is it the version that VH has listed on the first page of this thread? If it is then it will autotune upto the freq you set in the bat file.

EDIT:

If you set at 600 then it will find the best freq UPTO that point. But your sticks may well have a max freq LESS than that, at which point it will not be 600.

true: got 6 newpac's atm,
3x 600 Mhz
1x 563 Mhz
2x 463 Mhz

Als start with 600 as target, after a while they are adapted to max performance when u use vh's version

Oh, and don't forget to cool when going over 100 Mhz !

If by 7th port you mean port 1, diagram on back states 2A for ports D & 1, so depends on the amps you pull on the D port plus newpack @600 Mhz (Yikes!)

Mine pull 0.81A @200

well i am running @ 600 Mhz as target, not all sticks stick to that.

Can't see backside, i am using the hub. Another hub is on its way, so i'll look @ it when it arrives. (google can't provide me with picture of backside).

I am only playing with 1 stick right now. Have 4 more on the way. ALready have an arctic breeze fan on it. I am using cgminer 4.11.1 is this the right version to be using (looks like newest) if so how do I set it up to automatically find the best frequency? and when I have all 5 running does it adjust each one? or do you have to run 5 different instances to do that? (lots of questions sorry)

OK so when looking for that sweet spot in mhz (Newpac) how do you tell you have found it. I have adjusted from 100 to 200 and only difference I see is gain in hashing. So how do you know you have reached that tipping point where you will gain nothing more or are loosing some other part of function?

If your hub is strong enough you can go upto 600m. VH's latest itteration of cgminer has the auto tune function so it will automatically find the best freq to run the sticks at. Anything over 100m though and you needa fan blowing on them.

Hi everyone!

This is my first post ever here. I had tried some 2pacs a while back and decided to get one of these. I had some issues at first but they were all on my end. This is a great piece of hardware. I've had it set at 750Mhz for weeks. I added a push-pull fan even though VH thinks it's dumb.

Voltage setting 6

Cheers!

hi i am using GS hub, wondering if 7th port can be used for newpac @ 600 Mhz

Using a HP 1000w powersupply, so power is no problem.

If you're only wanting to run at 100MHz, you can turn the voltage down (tiny knob in the bottom corner, rotate anticlockwise maybe 20 degrees) which will help it run cooler and draw less USB power.
