Yes, this definitely seems to be the sweet spot for them. No nonces and none dropping down low and having to reset.

Try setting them at 175MHz. You might get another 10-25GH/s if you set it between 160MHz - 175MHz.
edit:
Drawing out a rough sketch to explain.
In the normal range, Hashrate = Frequency x 0.228
If the formula doesn't work, there's not enough power to move forward with a higher frequency.

hey,
So I finally am up and running. How should I try to clock these? I have six sticks and each set to 200 Mhz with a throughput of only 201.9 Gh/z?

Gekko Science makes one, we have a version of it if you check out the site.

Do you think i can still use a few less sticks for now until it comes in? I also have an amazon basics hub but it is REALLY simple.
It depends on each single port limit.Again, most of them max at around 1Amp per port (some rare ones may get close to 2Amps)
If the stick miner needs more than that (which it does), then expect issues.

It's difficult to find ANY USB hub that allows more than 1 or 2 Amps per port.
The stick miners can use more than that ...
That's why this exists:

I have not yet

Have you tried other hubs or USB ports? Looks like a lot of different information on the amperage per port for the one you listed. Only 1.2a with multiple ports running.

Hey guys,
I am having some difficulty with the newpacs and hope someone can shed some light. Currently, I am running 6 newpacs off of a BrovSS USB hub with active cooling. All of the sticks are connected to this hub. The frequency they are running off of is 100 Mhz each. The version of cgminer is the gekkoscience cgminer 4.1 and using on Windows 10. I have been able to mine a couple blocks but eventually cgminer displays a “GSH 3 missing nonces” and “GSH 4 missing nonces” and then displays “Toggling reset on GSH 3” amd “Toggling reset on GSH” and my worker goes offline and have to reboot everything each time. Again, I appreciate any help someone can offer.

Looks good, maybe invert the logo etchings if you make another and you've nailed aesthetics 100% imo.
April 05, 2019, 03:32:39 PM
That is quite impressive and looks GREAT! If only it could somehow add to the performance. Anyway, that plate does look very nice!! 
It would be good if it added to the heat dissipation in some way, but it is purely for aesthetics and gives me something to do lol.
April 05, 2019, 03:17:20 PM
So finally had some odd moments of spare time over the past month to do my little project of a new top plate for the hub. Now this is only an experiment and some things went wrong so will be making another one that will be a bit/a lot more refined 
Anyway Ive attached a picture and incase you were wondering all the text is etched first then infilled (although poorly with some acrylic wash).

looks like i figured out the "missing nonces" and the "unhealthy miner" errors i was getting, i got my stick from Amazon.
missing nonces is probably your share is not fast enough for your pool, so getting a fan and speeding up might fix it?
unheathly miner i am guessing is that your chip is too hot? I just upgraded my cgminer to the newest one from Dec 2018 - the one linked in then PDF that came with the chip is an older version.
i used this code to get it started:
after a couple of days messing with it, and reading through this fourm, make sure you have the most up to date cgminer, a fan, a powered usb, and you set your start code correctly.

yes just running too hot?
April 04, 2019, 03:13:06 PM
Tell me you got a fan on it.

Hi team
just got my new newpac and im getting an "unheathly miner" error on slushpool once it connects to a node.
any support would be great. its plugged into a 2.0 slot with a powered USB hub
Everything else seems to run fine, get a ton of missing nonces until it finds one

sorry if this seems dumb.....ebay says newpac comes with DUAL bm1387, does that mean there's two chips per newpac or does that mean you get two newpacs per purchase?
To further clarify what sidehack said, one NewPac stick has two (dual) BM1387 ASIC chips. The 2PAC featured two (dual) BM1384 ASIC chips per one stick. Hope that helps!
March 28, 2019, 10:36:19 PM
Two chips on one stick.
