So, I'd be safe to run 5 on this hub right? You guys think we need to blow a fan on 'em?
I saw at least one person over in Arklan's group buy who claims that hub will run 10 sticks. Arklan said he's running 9 sticks in one (he didn't try 10).
I have a fan moving some air over my sticks. I doubt that it's really necessary, but it makes me feel better so I do it anyway.
If you're getting 1% or more errors (on cgminer), with emerald that means temperature
(as you know emerald has no heat sink)
So yeah use that as a rough guide to decide if sapphire needs fans I guess
(unless someone with a sapphire has more specific info about it?)
Of course there's no way of dealing with that in the code other than to stop mining - there's no temperature information or anything to control (i.e. obviously no fan)
... hmm ... external usb fan control ... anyone got any good USB fans that you can control the power levels ... hmm I could see that possibly being useful but also possibly being a can of worms for coding ...
