Man!!  i'm only going to have three total when all is said and done - and here you are with 33!! Smiley   I can't wait to see your setup (please post pictures!)

If you're able to get the throughput (which isn't a problem on a smaller hub), I like 300MHz and around 740mV. Delivers 16.5GH at 6.7W per stick. Good hashrate, not a lot of heat. Pushing from 300MHz to 400MHz almost doubles the ASIC power consumption.

I'd stick 27 in there at set them to 640mV 200MHz. That'll get you 300GH off 100W DC and about the practical limit of USB talking to that many devices. If you want to run all 33, set them to about 610mV 165MHz which will get you 300GH off about 90W DC.

I have Orinco 10 port also..  So will see best setup.

so at what wattage you ran all to test?  I have same.

This is a 49 port hub that is capable of reliably supplying 1.2 Amps per port even when it is fully loaded with 49 devices.   so I will see.

I'm not just showing off, but it is pretty cool to be able to show off. This smexy Eyeboot 49-port-hub setup is what we used to test all the last batch of Compacs. Purchased from Amazon, and reimbursed by klintay on the condition that I publicise it. I generally disapprove of compensated endorsements (you always gotta question motives), but I will gladly endorse a product I actually do approve of and this hub is a heck of a lot better than the scrounger we were using. So, meeting that condition. It's probably a bit late but I'm fairly certain we'll be doing another 500 batch of Compacs (I'll know for sure early next week) and we have plans to continue the Compac line with new chips (whenever possible) and we'll keep using this hub (and 60A PSU) for testing until, I dunno, if it ever breaks I guess.

I'm not sure if it's an issue with cgminer or USB or what, but we couldn't get more than about 300GH out of a hub full of sticks. But even so, that was a decent load of power for a USB hub. Seriously.

So, shameless plug out!

1200 watt gold is efficient one.  

that's pretty good, but keep in mind that's the Amp on the 5V that counts (unless your hub uses 12V power ?)

then for 33Sticks, running each 5V/2A (as an example) , you'd need 10W/stick, that's 330W on the 5V rail.

is the 5V rail rated at 66Amp+ ?

if I take the Cooler master http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/silent-pro-gold/silent-pro-gold-1200w/

it has 3.5A on the 5V, so 17W => not good enough for 33sticks :p

it has 98A on the 12V so 1170W (that's where the 1200W comes from)

also, this hub: http://www.dipo-electron.com/en/Product_DIPO-136.html only provides 1A/port. (same as this one: http://www.eyeboot.com/49-port-usb-hub)
this one (http://www.hardwaresphere.com/2009/07/24/49-port-cambrionix-usb-hub-detail-specification/) is even lkimited to USB2 Amp: 0.5A

So you will still Y cables,.... and with 49 ports, you can only plug 24 sticks.

unless of course you're happy running all 33 at stock frequency Smiley Smiley

(I know, I'm a mood killer...  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes )


so 33 operation at stock .. what will they consume?

I have the eyeboot version it supply 1.5ma to each port.

I can't wait to see them hashing and flashing  around on my  49 port hub..    33 on order Smiley



I hope you have a good power supply Smiley

Holy balls, you're right. That small flat rate got retarded.

I guess everyone who's already paid for international shipping will appreciate the savings.

US small flat rate also went to $6.80 from $5.35 (before tax), just saying.

Heatsinks just arrived. Got shipping notification on PCBs, so they should be here Monday. Unfortunately the bank kinda messed things up and delayed a parts order, so it probably won't ship until Monday and arrive Thursday. Puts me a couple days behind, but I should have about half the current orders shipped by February 12th or so.
