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
