Re: GekkoScience Compac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread
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.
yeah that does 7 sticks at about 5.2gh freq 125. I am pretty much fine with that setup as it is in a shell.
and I use the mac for a shit ton of other stuff.
but my other win 7 is not in a shell it is a high end pc an i5-4670s 16 gb ram and a 250gb ssd
and it has weird issues basically the same as the w-10 build but the issues kick in when I get to 6 sticks while the w-10 kicks in at 3 sticks.
I can run 4 sticks on the w-7 pc at freq 325 and get full performance ..
Yet I can't so 5 sticks at freq 200 and get full performance.
at 325 you should get about 18 gh a stick I do with 3 sticks or 2 sticks. let me screen shot 3 sticks at freq 325
at 200 you should get about 11 gh a stick I get more like 9gh if I run 5 sticks.
3 sticks with good cooling and tons of power
the fan can do 300cfm ac driven
numbers are pretty good for 3 sticks at freq 331 should about 51gh and is around 48gh for overnight I am fine with this
a really good i5 win-7 system made for mining only:
cpu is good
ram is good
ssd is good
gpu who cares as it is an intel built in
