No, Max was a custom rebuild. I changed the volt-setting resistors and the main caps on the buck to give it a higher voltage and smoother current.

That's whats needed for the "anything goes" over clock run, if it happens. (the last was just for stock stick)


yea I have the A-300:

looks according to the specs only 600mA per port...sucks.

I would still like to know if there is a way in general to test the max Amp per port on a US hub manually?
Thanks!

someone said (sorry don't have the proper reference handy) that Superbpag usb 3.0 works fine with Raspberry pi and Compacs.
it has seven ports with 2A per port, apparently, for a total of 70W/14A, but costs $36, similar to 10 port Anker.

That's the hub (Superbpag) I used for the 24hr over-clock contest run in the compac solo club. Ran one stick with Y set-up at 435MHz got/getting 23.87GH (I haven't shut it down yet and in about 10min it'll be 36hrs run).

can usb connector even handle the Y setup on this hub (rhetorical question, of course)? doubling from 2A to 4A per slot?

It looks like a nice hub.  Only problem is a lot of us RPI users are using 2.0 , USB 3.0 Hub's don't seem to like RPI.   Hopefully they come out with a RPI that can handle most usb 3.0 hubs someday.

Until then I will be gettin 2.0 for the most part.  Just hard to beat RPI as a controller.

actually, someone (Jake36, probably) specifically mentioned that this particular usb 3.0 hub (Superbpag) handles raspberry pi well, if I am not mistaken.

Yes, with a Pi2 B (don't know if the older Pi's will work with it or not), ran 5 sticks for a week, plugged into a USB 2.0 hub that was plugged to the Pi. Then again for a week with 5 sticks plugged straight to the Pi, with no problems.
