So the good news:
Got 3 of my 4 Compacs cranking steadily and stably at 300MHz.
The bad news:
Yeah - just 3. One of them zombied out. I would just figure I killed it, but if I fiddle with the voltage, it will catch low GH's but then degrade to MH's and eventually zombie out again. But most of the time it won't hash.
Also, when I plug into the hub I don't get the nice little Win10 sound. Doesn't matter which port in the hub or if it's by itself or not, so it's not the hub (

I even scaled back the power and clocks to 275MHz. Still the same. When I plug straight into a USB port in my PC tower, it DOES make the Win10 chime, but still doesn't try to hash.
Any advice - or is prolly fried?
Thanks all!
A few questions.
- How are you cooling your mining sticks?
- with 300MHz clock speed, what is vCore voltage reading?
Also a suggestion.
- Instead of using official cgminer releases from ck, use one written by vh, which can be found: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1764803.0
This cgminer 4.10.0 is for SideHack's new 2PAC sticks but it also works great with original compac USB sticks.
**EDIT** Tried it by itself again, and at 150MHz. Recognized through the hub (w/Win10 chime), but still zombie. HOWEVER, listening closely I now hear a faint high pitched buzz which leads me to believe that there is something amiss with a capacitor or something. Back up and running with my other (3) Compacs without issue at 300MHz.
Hey, murasame2003.
Pic of my setup:
http://i.imgur.com/eaDaL0o.jpg. Plenty of fan cooling with zero HW errors since yesterday's post for the three Compacs running between 16.49 and 16.54GH/s each.
Also using cgminer 4.10.0.
Voltages running in the high 0.6's. Voltmeter not even responding on the zombie. However, when I plug directly into one of my tower's 3.0 ports, I get the Win10 chime but with no cgminer recognition and the chip starts to heat up immediately (removed after less than 10 sec). I even removed the heatsink to check the seating of the chip wasn't loose. Thinking a capacitor or somesuch is blown, but can't tell even with magnification.
