I don't want to quote because the post he made was very long. It's been awhile and I got help from the guys on here and the ones in the Kano Discord, but adjusting the vCore voltages for whatever reason made everything happy. I currently have 9 Compac F's running at 500MHz (I am waiting on another batch of Gekko hubs so I have one on a hub that can't do more than 2.0A (if it blips above for more than a second it shuts the port down and resets the stick), but I have all 3 hubs connected via their own USB cable to a single Raspberry PI 4 (8gb version).
Rasp Pi4 has only 4 usb ports, how do you manage to plug them all in including keyboard & mouse and i assume you're not running windows, as i tested out 500MHz on windows, the WU sits at 4,4xx/m while yours runs @ 4,6xx/m.
is it on Linux ?
The vcore voltage adjuster is the little VERY small phillips head looking screw on the bottom right of the PCB if you are looking at the heatsink side. There is a post somewhere in here talking about adjusting them and how much to. I went through and did every one of them one at a time. End result though was all 8 (now 9) working together with no issue
I will search for the post, thanks. Also i noticed the V - adjuster has 2 flat ends, while adjusting each of them, did they all end up in the same position ?
If so, what is the position ?
I do not use a keyboard, display or anything on my PI, so all that is connected currently is 3 USB connectors and a CAT5e cable. I just run a basic installation of Rasbian and have it setup to run headless when I create the SD Card. I do everything else in PuTTY via SSH. The hardest part for anyone who is new would be compiling cgminer but there are plenty of tutorials on this forum (and I think even in this post) to get anyone through (including myself).
Each adjuster has it's own position for the most part as originally I tried finding one spot and set everyone of them the same. Because each ASIC is a tiny bit different due to silicone lottery there isn't a complete one size fits all solution if you are going to push it past the 400MHz that the sticks are originally made for. You also need to have a USB power draw thing (I don't remember the technical name) because you can end up with way to much power even at 500MHz if you have too much amp wise if you adjust too much on it.
I think you are going to continue to have problems on a Windows based machine. Each stick upon receiving them I did run myself on my personal desktop (at the time a AMD 3950x on a Gigabyte Aorus MB, but I used a USB hub that could provide 2.5A so even at 500MHz it would get angry at points). The PI is a cheap very easy to setup solution and you can just set the sticks up with some kind of cooling solution and forget about them really. I monitor everything through the default miner.php included in cgminer.
