Quote from: BitcoinValet on November 06, 2013, 02:16:58 AM Is there any consensus on a good Power supply to buy if you are running 40+ sticks. I pulled an old 380w Raid Max out of my retired computer hardware box and have been running 43 block erupters and 2 usb fans. Seems like new ones on the low end are just not up to snuff. I realize it has something to do with the power going to the rails on new PSUs from reading through the forum, but my understanding of electronics is limited. Seems like a better idea to go digging through the garbage than online shopping at this point. I've been using one of these for 2 months in my pc I built with no problems. I bought another one last week to use with my hub, it handles 49 miners no problems. Been running it few days now. It's a really nice and cheap option. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=151159152624 Also, since these run on 5 volts, you need a psu that puts out enough amps at 5v. If your using an old 350 watt pc power supply I doubt it has enough amps at 5 volts. Theoretically you need at least 25 amps at 5 volts. But power supplies are always over rated and you don't want to run them at their max capacity. The one I listed above is 32 amps at 5 volts.

All setup and mining. It didn't work till I unplugged my 4 other 10 port hubs, than connected the 49 port hub with no miners in it. That got it too recognize most of the ports. Restarted again and switched usb ports on my desktop - finally recognized all the ports. That literally took a good 5 hours to set this damn thing up... Should of been so easy... I can verify this PSU works with this hub as well. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=151159152624

Some progress. I was able to get ports 15-28 and ports 26-49 to work. All the other ports have power, but windows will not recognize any device on them...

When I try to update the driver, it just loads forever and never updates or progresses. interesting bottom right corner... maybe that's contributing to an issue? try a different system? This is the second system I tried this hub on, both times I get the same error. The other system has a genuine copy of windows 7. I'm beginning to think it's the hub.

Quote from: Tong on November 05, 2013, 02:47:13 AM Quote from: conairlines on November 05, 2013, 02:30:01 AM Got my hub today, can't get it to work in windows 7, any advice? Do I need certain drivers? You have to put power to it first, and make sure you install the fuse also. Not that stupid Have sufficient power, and fused installed.... It keeps freezing on installing usb 2.0 hub [mtt]. It will process 4-5 of them and than freeze on the last one.

Quote from: ipxtreme on October 29, 2013, 04:52:24 AM I'm not an electrician so I am not sure if this PSU will be suffiencent for my hub. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171033 Can someone look at it and let me know? If not I have to go buy one. Thx ipxtreme Technically you need around 24.5 amps at 5v. That has 25 amps at 5v... However you need some wiggle room, I wouldn't trust that to run a full 49 miner setup.. PSU's are often overrated in what kinda of power they actually make.

Those numbers don't look bad to me. Have you considered overclocking it? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=240810.0
