Just a quick note for Moonlander folk in UK and Europe - Am currently using this Plugable 7-port hub with x4 sticks, running fine so far: http://[Suspicious link removed]/2zkGMOu

Tried this Orico number: http://[Suspicious link removed]/2jdmoGn failed at more than two.


I have the same setup, you going to try 5x ? Also what speeds you running ?

I'm aiming for 6, 2 more sticks in the post. Running at 720 at the moment, stable, 4MHs per stick. Can obviously go higher, sink temps at mid 60's... Will post what happens with 6!

Ok. I have three more in the post on top of the four I have connected now.  I think it's just a matter of speed & amps that each one draws in order to get all seven running.  From my post on page two if this thread I think (in theory) we have 1.71a to play with per port...

"If you were to split all 7 ports up equally and assuming 100% efficiency you could in theory draw about 1.71A per port."

What we could do with is accurate amp / speed table for these.

UPDATE (and a WARNING!) :  I'm now running 5x moonlanders at clock=756 on the plugable 7 port usb 3 hub and my meter is showing power usage (for the hub alone) at 53.08w, i personally wouldn't like to try running 6x as this will exceed the rating of 60w (12v x 5a) so you're running the risk of overload, over heat / maybe fire etc.  I can confirm it's stable though Smiley  Time for a new hub...
