FrontLineFodder - nice work. It looks like it is hotter after the mod, as you'd expect...

Can you please clarify which resistor was 'pencil modded' and any other hints/pics?

Cheers

My view: these are a toy, I dont care much if I break them, do you ?

R15 was modded, I used what I had around, looked like HB lead in a pacer automatic pencil.
Not sure if it means anything, I threw the multimeter to measure the resistance across the resistor 'in circuit'. measured 0.97K ohms, after the mod it measures about 0.86Kohms.

It's been running for over 13 hours with the same speeds and error rate as I posted last night.
As my pics above show, make sure you have adequate cooling.

I'd like to get a USB current meter (like: http://gizmodo.com/usb-power-meter-tells-you-which-devices-will-kill-your-514285397 ) to see if there is an increase in power draw from the hub. anybody got reccommendations ?

Thanks for the info. I tried but the in-circuit resistance stays at 0.97K, no matter how many HB lines I make. So there was no difference in hashing either....
Did you need to remove any coating from the resistor? (I don't think that they would apply conformal coating to a USB miner).
