exactly...I am trying to gear up for using Y cables on a Superbpag hub, which by itself is already 2A/slot, so i got some 3A Y's (with a very thick cord)...holding one stick back until i finally setup Debian on a PC in a double boot mode, then it is a go time, hopefully tomorrow.
This stick would be "experimental". Other eight chug along at default (~11GH).
Question to stick gurus: would it be theoretically possible to combine two Y's into a super Y? Essentially combining four slots to power one stick?

Could you link the Y-cables? The ones I have all lower my voltage and amperage so it would be great to get something beefier. Thanks!

but you also have to get couplers for those, otherwise they won't fit (maybe there are male to female Ys, but I did not find them initially):

Thanks! I have been looking at these as well: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB-3-0-Super-Speed-Male-A-USB-2-0-Plug-to-Female-A-Extension-Y/32428283920.html?spm=2114.01020208.3.209.wMikPP&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_4,searchweb201644_3_79_78_77_82_80_62_81,searchweb201560_3 and they seem to be the same (except for the need for the coupler). I guess testing is the only way to really tell which are going to be the best. Thanks again.

yeah, those should work, but it is up to 39 days shipping to US
here is similar from ebay (unless you are closer to China), although it is usb 2.0:

You can go even cheaper. I can't find exact one I bought quickly but was like - http://www.ebay.com/itm/39cm-USB-2-0-A-Female-to-2-Dual-USB-male-Hub-Power-Adapter-Y-Splitter-cable-Cord-/141745213314 . For less then 2 bucks you can get one that works, only thing is shipping is slow so takes advance planning.

But you can go pretty cheap and it works just fine.
