If you want to send me one of the problematic Compacs, I can try to take a look at what's going wrong.
(Or maybe setup remote/SSH access to one?)

Avoid the orico A3H10, can't run more than 3 sticks @300Mhs with Y cables without freezing.
It's fine with 6 at default freq.

USB3 have been ok for me. I just make sure they go through a USB2 hub before connecting to a USB2 port on the host.
Edit:- To clarify the above.
1. Place miner stick in USB3 "powered hub"
2. connect cable into USB2 "un-powered hub"
3. connect this usb to your USB2 port on PC
4. With a PI "Forget the above" and look for a USB2 "Powered Hub"

yeah I put up some of them.....they did not work for long.....the orico hub that 'supposedly' works posted there did not do so (some maybe not me) and a few others I'll move my questions there or ask for PM advice ...thanks will move the 'clutter' there started the question here on the below post here....this is a "You got to get a better hub error for your old ass low power usb 2.0 junk laptop" I assume that is the case with my problems if the below is correct (was told on another thread..I hop all over the place) Hum I had to change pool from solo to de and now I get soem error on my stick.
I get reset error(0) LIBUSB_SUCESS and cant hash?

anyway moving on now..but where I was coming from on the above posts...probably should just put a PI up with the guy who has the model he stated 3.0 usb hub that works thanks for the support ... PM me if any issues or the above is NOT a hub only issue anyone..but what I'm going with now from the previous posts help and PM's |

I'd be very interested to know at which freq and VCORE you manage to run 10 sticks on this hub. It looks like the 10 ports sipolar one.  |

They are running at 150 default, on Minera with custom cgminer-gekko installed on a raspberry pi B. Repurposed the U3 12volt pwr brick to run the hub. I got my hub from Buy-A-Hash over a year ago, it looks very much like the Sipolar but I don't know if it is the same or not. Ali express used to have several versions listed that all looked the same but....whoknows.

[/quote] OK ....this quote above completely lost me ( I mean i work with developmentally disabled folk...how did I get dragged into this techy wonderland? So fish out of water) [/quote] both are good quotes. usb3 alone to your pc or rasp pi does not work well = true usb3 to usb2 to your pc or rasp pi does work well = true why are these true? in the first case the rasp pi sees the usb3 and says fuck you I am a picky mofo in the second case the rasp pi sees a usb 2 hub that hides the usb 3 hub for it so the rasp pi goes "du ta dut" and works why go the usb 3 then usb 2 then rasp pi route. simple reason the usb3 has more juice per port. So if you buy a cheap usb2 like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-Port-USB-2-0-HUB-Splitter-15W-Power-Adapter-2V-3A-output-for-Laptop-PC-Windows-/351517022097?go rasp pi the one above then your usb3 hub it should work. |

I'm gonna go ahead and reopen sales for the next batch. I wanted to give a bit of time for bulk customers to line themselves up - which almost worked, but it's a you-snooze-you-lose which means you only keep your place in line by paying up. It looks like we're committed to building 750 more with pulled ASICs. At least that's how many heatsinks and PCBs we have coming in, and I have enough ASICs lined up to do it.
Now, please note again that we are using pulled chips. What this means is, the ASICs will likely have been taken from a nonfunctional S5 board. I'll probably be expanding the testing procedures to make sure sticks are stable. I've also made a few small changes to the PCB (these are V0.6 instead of V0.5) which should aid in assembly and overall reliability. The warranty will be no less on these than on the original Compacs - if you get one that doesn't work, send it in and I'll repair or replace it. If it doesn't work because of something you did (like insane overclocking or hacked-up heatsinking causing physical damage) I won't fix it for free but I'll still fix it if you want.
PCBs and heatsinks have been ordered. I expect to receive them in the first week of February. I'll have at least one bulk customer to satisfy before getting to small orders, but assembly should go a lot faster this time around than last time. As of right now, orders would be expected to ship around the middle of February.
So, the Compac Run 2 queue is open. All prices are the same.
