Re: [ANN] Introduction to DualMiner USB (could mine both BTC and LTC)

I have 10 in an Orico 10 port hub, 1 of them always goes idle after awhile. always the same one no matter what usb port on the hub I try. ive tried pll 850, 800, and no pll at all.. same situation

any ideas?

I have a Etekcity (an Orico clone) and could not get 10 to work. 9, however, work just fine. Use the 10th port to link to another hub.

Was your doing same thig? Going idle after awhile?

No, try swapping USB ports and see if the idle follows the device or the port.
Also, see my blog article. If you are running in dual mode it may be pushing the limits of your powered hub.

Which mode are you running in? Single or dual? Fan or no fan?

Nice review! Smiley

One thing that did make my eyebrow quirk was this:
Quote from: SquirrelEatAcoins
First, let me say that DualMiner runs hot. One forum member measured them at 96°F.
If that's considered hot, you should move to one of the polar regions, as your body's core temperature is a few degrees above that Wink  The datasheet mentions a max operating temperature of about 185°F, figure at least 10 degrees lower as measured on the package and another 15 as measured as an average on the heat sink, and below that it should be fine.  Would actually be interesting to see a temperature vs HWerror plot ( not suggesting you do so - for all I know the things self-destruct at 110° despite the datasheet claims Wink )

I tend to agree with your assessment. I found another article that measures it at 50°C. I have updated my blog entry to reflect this thought.
Thank you for the feedback.

you're out of the fat ones =[

We currently only have stock of the "slim" risers since they just came in a few days ago. I'll have more "wide" risers next week.

Is anyone interested in some test risers? These are brand new risers that haven't been released by anyone. Pricing is $9/shipped per one.

Please provide more details. Are these powered risers?
