Order was cancelled in time, thanks for the help its much appreciated....
So what's the general consensus for a hub to both power and transmit data for 5 compaq's?
This one works good
http://www.amazon.com/Superbpag-Portable-Charger-Transfer-Samsung/dp/B013OK10YMIt even work's with Raspberry Pi 2-B (Pi's are very picky on hubs and will usually never work with usb 3.0 hubs or even some 2.0 hubs).
It will do ~2 amps per port, I've ran 5 sticks at 250MHz for over 2 week's with only about 3 HW errors (once you get the pot on the stick adjusted).
Interesting re 5 sticks on Superbpag (BTW, I second the Jake36 and zOU opinion)-I failed to run four, but maybe because I hot-plugged them without reset.
Three are good with almost no error for a couple of days.
BTW, how did you fit five sticks there? When I tried to put two sticks in adjacent slots they touched. I was not sure if this is OK or not.
Superbpag is 70W/14A (7X2A slots). I also just got an incredible 3A Y-cable from Cali. The thickness of it...the only caveat is the f-f coupler (to link Y and stick), which is less formidable, otherwise, I am ready to try for overclocking when i have a bit more time.
May have to open up the case and repackage it to fit the sticks better but that would be quite the pain.
