I figured it out, still not enough power running the hub
That sucks, but glad to hear you found a solution! Thanks for letting us know.

I figured it out, still not enough power running the hub.
April 11, 2019, 10:57:23 AM
before i spend money on another PSU, if i pulled out the GTX card and used onboard video (which is fine for me, im not doing anything with it other than this), i bet i could get some more power out of the PCIe rail.
i really appreciate the help with this team!
I'm never expecting to mine to make myself rich, i just find it fascinating and a fun hobby project. the Gekko team has really made it easy to learn about mining, and to get it going! and support so far has been great. You guys taking care of the n00bs is what makes me want to continue to purchase these items. Now I need some Gekko vinyl stickers to put on my car!
Mainboard: M5A88-V EVO - ASUS
CPU: AMD FX-4100
(core voltage is running about about 1.0V right now)
(this compy was originally built to be my media center DVR. picked up a fire recast for OTA recording, so needed to do something with the rig)

this is the power supply in the rig. only other things running is a old gtx 560, the mb and a harddive
edit
pulled one miner off the hub, and ran 2 at 450mhz and it got pretty stable (running dec18 build), anything lower than that i get resets and missing nonce
i guess i need more power to run 3...

it is a low quality psu. or at best medium quality it has 2 rails for 12 volts. each are 22 amps so you could have the pcie jack pulling on a 22 amp rail along with the mobo using that rail. which would mean you do not get a full 22 amps to pull on.. 22 x 12 = 264 watts which seems enough but if the mobo and the pcie jack share a rail
and the cpu pulls on the other 12 volt rail using the cpu cable. in both case you are pulling on limited power amp wise
ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V
80 PLUS BRONZE Certified
100 - 240 V 47 - 63 Hz
+3.3V@24A, +5V@24A, +12V1@22A, +12V2@22A, [email protected], [email protected]

+3.3V@24A, +5V@24A, +12V1@22A, +12V2@22A, [email protected], [email protected]
so one rail send say 12 amps to the mobo and the other rail send 12 amps to the cpu cable
this means at best there is only 10 amps left on either rail for your gear.
this gear is a much better fit for you

only 69.99 after rebate silver vs bronze will save a few dollars every month and it has power to spare 5 year warranty
It will be a better choice then the bronze you are using.

OK cool, its one of those things some people don't think about.
Can you tell us what ports your running the newpacs in, honestly, a picture of your setup would be good too.

hey, yeah, they are running perfectly at 175 my apologies. I should have said that. If I go over then that is when I run into problems. I was wondering if I could clock higher but I guess not. I am using one of these with them https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XN24GY/

Hey JohnDon87, at 175 the NewPacs should not have issues running on the GekkoScience USB hub. Question though because I didn't see this asked anywhere, do you have some kind of active cooling? if the units heat sinks are too hot to hold onto, they are too hot period.

So question now, I have the miner set at 175 Ghz per each stick but an extra power supply set up that I was using for my antminer s7 on the 419 usb hub. Is there any way to clock these higher to get more efficiency? If I add any thing higher than "--gekko-newpac-freq 175" than it becomes very unstable. Is there any instructions I can put in my .bat file that would not make all of them clock so high and drop but get more efficiency or is this as stable as it gets? I have 6 newpacs and active cooling + 180-240V power supply attached.

They are all 4.11.1 i think. Its the number at the end of the file name we are after. The command IF you ate using the autotune is “—gekko-noboost”.
yeah, so cgminer starts to open and then closes me right back out.
April 11, 2019, 07:55:46 AM
The build is the 4.11.1 version. I am not sure how to turn off auto tune, what the command is.

What build cgminer are you running? If its the auto tune one. Try turning auto tune off.

Nope, i have the new one now and the miners are dropping to about 5 Ghz frequency on GSH 2 and GSH 4

I imagine your issue is 1.5A hub and not the gekko science one?
Edit: 1.5A/USB port.

@vh
thanks!
i'll keep at it,
gonna run auto tune build all night to see if anything changes. but i am running PCIe to a usb gekko hub.

What kind of power supply are you using, and what is the maximum output wattage? That could mean all the difference in the world!
April 10, 2019, 10:56:54 PM
If you're running from a ATX desktop psu make sure you have proper amperage still. I think the hub thread covers that thanks to philip.

@goldsounds
"If i just do one it runs fine, the best at 350mhz (about 65gh/s) any other speed resets and no nonce errors"
see diagram.
You've ran out of power past 350mhz.
Changing software and software settings is not going to fix it.
Adding more miners to the current setup and seeing it behave worse is yet another sign you're having power contention issues.
Try to replace your power source.
The good news is that the miners are okay if they work by themselves.
