Made it past 12hrs.

It's rolled over to 2:compac and still getting more HW's than I'd like, so hope it makes it another 12hrs.

you went bold with freq 435
if you don't crash it would win most shares.

jake36

indeed bold dial in, thats bracket racing at its finest.

Ok, I am up and running for the contest. I've not run a stick this hard yet, so here's to hoping it's still alive tomorrow at this time! Good luck, everyone.

Whoops, thanks, Phil.

Here's mine for the contest on a single Y cable with a couple usb fans to keep the air moving. The heat sink is definitely warm, but nothing I'm concerned about. I have it on the tester for the 24hr so I can keep an eye on its vitals. Best share of 403k so far for this run.

Here it comes... the final minute... fingers crossed....

Looks like I couldn't go over the 198K best share. But at least I didn't crash & burn

24 hour mark.. It was a fun run!

note: I tried inserting the picture to display inside the post but it won't let me; maybe because I'm a newbie user still.

The heatsink feels quite hot! That's what you get for using an improvised cheap fan I guess.
Below is the final screenshot for the 25th hour and now I will unplug the stick so it can rest for a bit. It will be replaced by my other one.

you look like it ran correctly

and while you will not win highest share you may have most shares as you did finish the 24 hours

That large USB fan looks really cool! (Yet it doesn't seem to be spinning?)

Thanks Guruclef. Its an arctic usb fan shifting lots of air, it is spinning just think it's exposure setting on camera looks like it isn't

.

The heatsink feels cool to the touch even though its running at 300MHz.

but I "improved" the setup last night. of course I ran out of time and it was a crappy job so I didnt trust it. so with 20 minutes left on my 7-7:30 am start I went to "plan b" ie I just scrapped it and went with a molex connector from teh usb socket right to my seasonic x750 psu. no caps on it. tried for 400mhz but Failed. btw no hardware errors 7 hours in @ 47*C

So you use a Y cable:
- power+data in a hub to miner
- power only connector connected to an ATX 5V (red/black) molex directly ?

Hum... that's interesting... I've got to get my hands on some cheap cables to make some adapters....

no here is my setup right now, my "improved" version - I ran out of time to perfect heh so I reverted to backup plan below

seasonic x750->molex 4 pin->old scrap front panel usb circuit from old antec case->compac
the hot lead is cut on the data cable, the seasonic only powers the stick to avoid competing power supply problmes

this is my running-right-now contest setup

here is the build pic with 16 gauge wire, direct soldered to socked, 2200uf cap etc

Okay, a little bit over 8h; http://i.imgur.com/yvRKPOl.jpg

shiny! 400 Mhz 22+ ghs in that screenshot! I tried for that and couldnt fire it. got 390 for overnight a few times but only 380 for the contest

what hub/whatever etc are you rolling with?

No hub does the trick! Only Y-cable with external power. It will run @425 but i've to little time to filter the noise on the wires. It will run but throws about 10 HW per minute. So i let it run @400 for the race. Stable for 3 days now ....

yup the other day I had a 2200 uf cap on the power leads on a droc power supply @ 5.25v at the socket. ran 390 mhz 16+ hours with one (count em, one) hw error. but it was hard to fire it sometimes.. maybe 2 out of 10 times it fired but the other 8 it would fail with the usb_lib thing.

but I "improved" the setup last night. of course I ran out of time and it was a crappy job so I didnt trust it. so with 20 minutes left on my 7-7:30 am start I went to "plan b" ie I just scrapped it and went with a molex connector from teh usb socket right to my seasonic x750 psu. no caps on it. tried for 400mhz but Failed. btw no hardware errors 7 hours in @ 47*C

what external power supply?

for me at least the contest is more of a hardware/fun/lulz thing: what works? how far? and what did you do to get it.. far more interesting to me than winning

I

Power supply is just a 12V/60W brick and a 12V to 5V step down converter. Step down gives 5A steady and 8A peek but costs only a few bucks.
