Would these also work on a RasPi and cgminer-3.6.1 (I used in the past on the HEX16 boards...)?

No, you need to use newer cgminer & apply the latest patch.
Latest patch is for cgminer 4.6.1.

Thanks, for the (super-) quick reply!

And do I need a PSU with 4 separate cables? Or would 2 cables with the integrated splitter (so 4 PCI 6pin connectors, 2 per cable) work too?

You must use 4 separate cables. 2 cables will be very hot.

And... thanks again!!!

Does anyone have a suggestion for less noisy fans that could be used to replace the sunon fans? And my fans came without a grill Angry

so it sliced off a peice of my finger whilst instaling it, 3 weeks ago now and it still hurts...

Quite honestly I think these are quite overcooled, so any mid range high pressure fans (Corsair I'm looking at you). Might need a small underclock if hash rate goes unstable.

Could you post me a link to a correct model that i could use 'cause I'm a bit new to the miner modding thing... and the miner is not currently at this location so I can't measure anything

It would be these. Its a significant step down in cooling power though so be careful.

right ordered a tp link , but still cant get windows to see it for what it is Undecided

i`m getting a few ghs out of it and a lot of
HEXM 0 CHIP 0,1,2,3 last received nonce 2 secs ago reset
and it see`s
0: HEXM 0 : 1016 805/0802mv 20.12gh ....... this is on cgminer technobit win 0-3-8
i`m using 2 cm750m to power, (but can mod a 2kw server psu)
i`m a bit concerned because its a 2hex4m but i can only see 1 on cgminer screen
anyone got any ideas???
thanks mike

Seem like wrong setting. Can you post your setting?
There is 2 board in there hence you will need 2 usb cable(1 usb cable per board) to connect 2hex4m to HOST.
If using TPLINK TL-MR3020 you will need powered usb hub.

marto just told me to use an unpowered hub for my 8*hex4m in another topic!

There appears to be a bit of draw via USB on these, so I'd put them on a powered hub. Doesn't have to be a beastly one, but a few amps wouldn't hurt.

Thanks dogie and thanks zich
I'm going to have a play, and get a tp link
hopefully I'll have it sorted soon

is it possible to run the hex4ms and the hex8A1 together?
Cheers Mike

Great guide dogie
I've followed it to the T, but my pc and zadig keeps seeing it as a hex8A1 which I have got 3 running fine. Any ideas that could help a noob?
Cheers Mike

This may cause by "handle usb detect error" setting. You can set it to hex4m and see the behavior.

But if i may suggest, it's better to use TPLINK TL-MR3020 as controller then using PC. Cheap, easy configure, low power consumption.
You can buy it in your local computer store then flash it with technobit firmware.

You'll have to ask Marto unfortunately, I'm not sure what cross interactions there are with multiple devices.
