This is a big, duh now... but hoping this post will confirm for those starting out (like myself) that you should pay a little more for a decent hub if you want to use a lot of these stick miners. I love shortcuts, but power for these guys isn't something to mess with.
I was super green last month and got the usb hub below thinking I could get this and throw some miners on it and be all good.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GGYU46OI have only been able to get two to run on the hub (moved them around to different ports) and had to turn down the pot, but I have two newpacs running at 325mhz getting about 98-99% of 74.1 GH/s on each. If I move them to the stock position, then one will pull the correct voltage and the other fights, and gets reset over and over. Where I have them set now, if I try to push to 350mhz then the same thing happens, one pulls all the voltage and the other get's hosed.
No heat issues, but I have a fan on them just in case.
When my birthday comes around in August, I'll be asking for a new hub and more newpacs (or the next iterations, if available). Thanks for all the work and updates on everyone's adventures.
