Re: Modifying a USB hub for extra power and "I did it!" showoff thread
Very impressive! I'll be interested to hear if those hubs can handle that much power once you've cranked the frequency on the 2pacs up to 250 and beyond.
Still a work in progress but this is what i have so far
My monster 2pac consists of ..
1x raspberry pi 2
4x 2.0 usb hub, With 5v brick cutoff and the plug wired into the power supply

1x mean well lrs-350-5 with a 3d printed coverplate

4x custom 3d printed holder attached to 1 1/2" wood dowel holding 5x usb cables (white)

using the method here to connect power ( i found soldering to the jack just wasn't worth the effort)

Still working out overclocking, will update when i get it figured out. But I know it runs stable at 100mhz
