well the w-10 problem is bizzare as I can do 2 sticks at freq 300 perfectly fine great numbers, but after 2 it just does not work correctly. Does not matter if I use 2 or 3 hubs. The stick numbers just drop off.
Not to complain about the sticks. I am a bit confused as to why I can't run 10 sticks on a windows 7 build with multiple hubs and get correct numbers. The sticks simply hash at low numbers.
I can not understand this behavior. Later today I will demo the issue. I have run more then 100 sticks (Ice Fury , U2's) on w-7 with correct numbers. The stud hubs were able to do 10 to 14 sticks
easy.
You're running Windows under a VM on a Mac, right? Have you tried running on the Mac native instead of a VM?
According to the nwools' tutorial, seems it's fairly easy to build bgfminer on Mac (if there isn't a 5.3 Mac binary already). I ended up going with RPi, so I didn't end up building for Mac.
I still think that the easiest way to go is RPi. Although I'm only running 2 sticks at stock speed (no y splitters yet). I haven't pushed things yet.
