Did you ever find out the issue? or are the sticks dead?

Look on page #1
I see the chart with the mhz, gh/s, and watts. It doesn't have amps though. But I guess if i take 300mhz = 6.795w / 5v = 1.359a My hub has 2.1a per port, x 5v = 10.5w. Based on the chart, I'm guessing 10.5w would be around 490mhz. That would explain why 1 or 2 sticks start lagging behind when I run them at 500mhz. Sorry, I'm new to all this, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Thanks!

I saw this chart in the compac F thread. Is there something similar for the Newpacs? (maybe not as high) Im trying to figure out how many amps for each frequency. I think im maxing out my hub. Thanks

I gotcha. no worries. Im def not complaining. These Ferraris are awesome!
Since i got the Gekko hub I ramped them up (incrementally) to 550mhz. 3 were getting about 360ghs, and 1 was at 340. Which is still amazing.
and I did dial back the volt screw. but then it only got up to 520mhz. so i turned back up a bit, but not as much as I had before. its back to 550mhz, and 340ghs. So it's all good.
If only I could find more gekko hubs, Id buy some more. There is a guy in Germany selling 2 hubs on Ebay for like 1500 Euros ($1700) +$160 shipping. I offered him $500, and he told me to go F myself ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ hopefully there in stock again soon.

Im running 4 sticks, and no matter what mhz, 1 always lags behind. At first i thought it was the bitcoin merch hub, so i upgraded to the gekko hub. On the new hub I can run them higher, they all run faster, but 1 is still lagging behind the others
I adjusted the volt screw 45 degrees twice. they all came stock in this postion | so i adjusted clockwise and is now in this position _
Im timid to keep adjusting. So my question is how much should the volt screw be adjusted?
sidenote: when the 4 sticks were delivered, 3 were in one package and have consecutive serial numbers. the laggy one was separate and has a different serial number. Could it just be it was manufactured differently, and the silicone just responds differently than the other 3, and i should be happy with what i get?
Thanks

It all depends how the the components are laid out on the pcb of the hub. On the gekko hub, sidehack put details on so you could see what ports shared with inductor(?). So you can adjust the speed and inturn the amperage to match it.
gotcha, ya i think im def getting the gekko hub. it says it gets 6amps for each of the bottom 3 pairs, or 3amp per port. If you only run 1 stick in each pair, will you get 6amps? I was reading on here that if you have 5amps of power, you can max these sticks out to 800mhz, 550 gh/s. So this hub would be great unless it maxes out at 3amps. either way, 3amps is better than almost every other hub out there. Theoretically you could pull 6amps per pair yes. BUT none of the components are rated as such. Usb sockets are only rated for 3amp max. After that its probably going to be dangerous. My gekko hub is running 6 sticks at 520m and thats as far as im going to push it. Its about 2.8amp per port (if i calculated correctly). So i have a little headroom. Gotcha, thats still sounds pretty sweet. What's your hashrate if i may ask?
