Its not a stand or box its a different top plate. Something ive always wanted to try but ideally need a copy/file of the decal/sticker thats on top of the black edition hub. Then I can start the process and see how it turns out.

I did it for you, to make up owing you something, which I will message you about soon. I hosted 2 scans on Google Drive - one was so large in file size, it wouldn't allow me to make any edits until after scan completed. Hope they help! Wink

I have a 3D object Model of the top plate if you're interested.

Cheers for the offer but its just the text/layout I need. When I get time I may well have to dismantle my hub and scan in the top section. Hopefully that would work but wont know until I give it a go.

'The right to privacy matters'

I have an idea to do with some nice fans and a sidehack hub.

Will post soon.

Thanks, oh! sure it's possible to make a more design model

But when you need to clean it to remove dust
i prefer get a simple model to build/unbuild

At the begining i wanted to make a model with invisible fans, but when i tested, it was not pratical...

else, publish your! i'm curious

it's cool to give the choice to this topic users

PS: I printed the first one a user made, but there was to much air flux lost...

Hi

Oh yes! It was cool when i started my setup, but (maybe my fan was bad...) i can't get more than 500/515 MHS else my keys become
zomby each 6 hours...

My setup is in the most fresh room of my home, but the other miners (apollo scrypt) make so much hot air in this room (and a TUPOLEV sound...)...

For this reason, i create this one

See ya!

Hey Filax, Great job with the model/printing. I think the model you are referring to is our stand. The first iteration did have closed walls with vents but the heat dissipation was actually far better once we removed the enclosure and allowed the air to move freely once the heat sinks had been passed. Our plan was to add ducting to direct the flow directly over the heat sinks but we couldnt reliably match the fins to the heat sinks due to variance in the USB connection angle. We also would loose the ability to have it universal for more than the GekkoScience hub.

That looks great, I was considering the same idea but now im going for something just for aesthetics.

Hey

I just finished my optimized air flux box for my gekko newpac

Work only for the gekkoscience USB HUB (the best...)
For a best cooling i removed the top HUB cache.

Due to my printer size bed i needed to cut the box to 8 parts, you need to glue them, but it work

Here is the stl files if you want.... You need two 9 cm classic PC fans, the up fan let
in the fresh air, and the second fan get out the hot.

Note : Under CURA you need to do a scale X/Y/Z of 1000 to get the correct size.

With this setup i can run them to 600/615 mhz without problem

PS : Do not glue the top and the bottom, same for the fans, do not glue them if you want to remove dust or craps...
The glued angle pieces are enought to keep them in place.

See ya

There might exist a prototype with software voltage setting and the like, for which this flag is relevant, but it has no effect on production sticks.

God told me to buy 10 more.

Like others have mentioned, the NewPac can only mine SHA256 algorithm coins/assets, like Bitcoin. BUT, what you can do, is use these sticks to mine on a "multi-pool" to receive payouts in almost any coin asset out there. Better yet, do some research, find a new, young, upcoming project that you believe in, and get paid out in their coin/token/asset while the value and difficulty are low (speculation). Then, just sit on the accumulated coins/tokens/assets until the price goes up. Rinse, wash, repeat..

Doing the multipool things since i got my newpac. I like it.
First on multipool.us now on dutch-mining.

I like it, got the idea its more efficient, although i did not make calculations to proof this.

What are the default for the miner Vcore. in my UDDO, I am able to got to .cgminer and get in the conf file for cgminer to make the changes. In PI i can get into .cgminer and the conf file is not there?

quick question:

I haven't played with it yet, but i just discovered

Code:

--gekko-newpac-vcore 400

is the default setting in cgminer. I looked though this whole forum topic, and nobody has mentioned it - only using the potentiometer to adjust vcore.

should i adjust it higher to get a better overclock? was it only for pre-production newpacs (i.e not valid for production units)? ...etc?

I change to Kano.is and the nonce stopped.

The miners stopped again. I have no clue why?

Code:

Worker Name:	Work Diff	:Last Share	Shares	:Diff	:Share Rate	«Elapsed	:Invalid	Block %	:Hash Rate
bronxnua.1	442	27min	14,256	6,304,808	0GHs	2m 14s	0.850%	0.000%	0GHs
Total: 1 (0 active workers)	14,256	6,304,808	0GHs	 	0.850%	0.000%	0GHs

Maybe it's God telling you to stop buying stickminers.

I have 11 Units that were running. and stopped all together.

I tried or Raspberry Pi, The other with my UDDO on the PI they stopped hashing in a few hours. one the UDDO, it worked for a few days.

not sure why they all stop?

Can you mine any other coins besides BTC with the NewPac?
