Title: Review of Sidehack's Newpac with comparisons to the 2pac and the compac. Post by: philipma1957 on November 13, 2018, 05:54:46 PM Okay I finally got my new Sipolar hub So I can do the review of sidehack's new sticks.
Here is one official stick seller he has 2 links to buy the sticks https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1627698 https://www.ebay.com/itm/GekkoScience-NEWPAC-BM1387-SHA256-Bitcoin-USB-Mining-Stick-New-2PAC-Miner/253271572863? https://www.419mining.com/shop/miners/gekkoscience-newpac-dual-bm1387-usb-stickminer/ Here is a second official stick seller CrazyGuy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=25223 https://asicpuppy.com/magentoPuppy/ I have this hub https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sipolar-10-Port-USB-2-0-Powered-Hub-with-power-supply-5V-20-Amp-2A-per-port/352409900554? and this hub https://www.ebay.com/itm/Eyeboot-49-Port-60-Amp-USB-2-0-Hub-iphone-smartphone-charging-station-bundle/112843278687? here are the nine sticks running https://i.imgur.com/e1vXyJR.png (https://i.imgur.com/e1vXyJR.png) I pointed them here https://i.imgur.com/zzbN2na.png (https://i.imgur.com/zzbN2na.png) Title: Re: Review of Sidehack's Newpac with comparisons to the 2pac and the compac.

give a way was completed thread for giveaway was locked by me. ######################### ########################## I have moved both newpacs to the new sipolar usb hub purchased from ebay link. I have set them to 250 freq and I am pointing at bravo mining http://www.bravo-mining.com/ Contributor Hashrates Rank Donor User Name TH/s BTC/Day USD/Day 1 jonnybravo.........8.091 0.000 0.0000 2 MinerSRQ...........1.501 0.000 0.0000 3 rkotsybar...........0.806 0.000 0.0000 4 tubexc...............0.129 0.000 0.0000 5 philipma1957 0.127 0.000 0.0000 2 sticks do very well 6 bugwash............0.102 0.000 0.0000 7 AB1042503........0.033 0.000 0.0000 8 munkeyminer......0.030 0.000 0.0000 9 mofoq................0.030 0.000 0.0000 10 PhredPhrog 0.020 0.000 0.0000 11 CaptRedeye 0.016 0.000 0.0000 my opinions these are nice sticks so nice I grabbed a third one and it is on its way I will set it to the sipolar hub. the power brick gives 12 volts at 10 amps. so 12 x 10 = 120 watts convert to 5volts since ports are 5 volts 90percent to 95 percent so 120 x .9 = 108 watts x .8 for safety = 86.4 watts round down to 80 /10 = 8 watts for 10 ports in theory so here is sidehack's chart @100MHz was 2.65W, with AsicBoost measured 2.35W. (default) @200MHz was 4.66W, with AsicBoost measured 4.20W. (fan cooled) @400MHz was 9.63W, with AsicBoost measured 8.38W. (out of support zone) @600MHz was 13.62W, with AsicBoost measured 12.45W. (damage if fan gets tired zone) looks like 300mhz could work with all 10 ports and good fans Title: Re: Review of Sidehack's Newpac with comparisons to the 2pac and the compac. Post by: philipma1957 on November 19, 2018, 04:24:19 PM So my third newpac arrived today. I set it to freq 250 and I now have
3 newpacs set to freq 250 1 twopac set to freq 250 the sipolar hub is working fine so far and I am pulling 41 watts. hash rate is about 190gh considering one of the stick is a 2pac and not a compac I think 4 newpacs would do about 210-220 at 41 watts since a lot of watts are lost at the brick maybe 80-90% efficient and the 12volt to 5volt in the hub maybe 90%. I estimate power at the port at 8-8.5 watts per stick while power at the hub is 10.3 watts a stick I will need to grab more newpacs to test the hubs limits but 4 sticks at freq 250 seem good.

Post by: sidehack on November 19, 2018, 04:33:40 PM Even without AB enabled, unless the core voltage is jacked up a ways or cooling is terrible, you should see more like 6W at the port. I would guess the brick and hub regulators are worse than you're estimating. With good cooling but no AB, 8.5W at the port should get you upwards of 350MHz.

I got meters will do more checking once thanksgiving is over. bricks suck so 80% on a brick would not surprise me Title: Re: Review of Sidehack's Newpac with comparisons to the 2pac and the compac. Post by: vh on November 19, 2018, 07:12:38 PM I suspect the 2Pac is also bringing up the average quite a bit.
Title: Re: Review of Sidehack's Newpac with comparisons to the 2pac and the compac. Post by: sidehack on November 19, 2018, 07:51:37 PM Good call. That stick's probably around 10W by itself.

I will pull the 2 pac and kwatt meter dropped from 40.8 to 24.7 so a newpac pulls 8.2 watts at the wall and the old tired 2pac test model with a silver untreated heat sink was doing about 16 watts at freq 250 so new pacs look better now about 175-180gh and only 24-25 watts Title: Re: Review of Sidehack's Newpac with comparisons to the 2pac and the compac.
