PM sent to start order... Thanks sidehack - we need these. I hope GS sells lots of 'em.

If I hadn't just bought a Sipolar one a month ago I'd be all over this, I love it! Especially the 12v fan header!

Top notch stuff as always!

great work sidehack, new hub is super cool, i want a bunch please  

[419mining]

Hubs are up and in stock!
https://www.419mining.com/shop/cables/gekkoscience-7-port-base-hub/
make sure you get a power supply for them as well.
We currently have 7A hubs in stock, while you cant max out 6 sticks at at 650Mhz, it should get you up there. As soon as we finish our testing, i can post more specifics.

10A would be idea, but make sure you get good quality. or run on a 6pin computer power supply.

Ill be posting to eBay and amazon tomorrow!

and dont forget, buy from our online store and ear loyalty points for future discounts!

Let me know if you want one. Or two. Or a bunch, that'd be cool too.

I am interested in getting at least two. Do you have a ballpark figure on the pricing? Will you be selling these direct or will you be using re-sellers only?

testing the new Gekkoscience 7 port hub now.... 7 newpacs running smoothly @ 450 Mhz for a total of approx 700 GH
using a good solid 12v 10a psu, so it has plenty more juice to go....going to start turning up the speed slowly  



Just had to show of these badass pictures of them running

You won't be able to go too much higher speed unless you can drop the voltage. Remember one 6A regulator shares to three ports, so if you use all three you're limited to 10W per stick instead of 15W.

so four sticks set 2 to each regulator   would mean 15 watts a stick at truly high speeds correct?

[sidehack]

Best is six sticks with 2 to each regulator, but you can do 4 if you want.

I figured brick  would stress at 6 x 15 = 90 watts

vs 4 x 15 = 60 watts which is only 50% of the brick.

[sidehack]

I didn't say anything about the brick. Talking about the hub itself. There's only three regulators, so if you want to push past 10W per stick you need to only put two sticks per regulator, which means a max of 6 on the hub for the really high per-stick speeds.

A 100 gb a stick is nice.

Yea, the three newpac I have in the GS hub are all clocked to 450 now. Will have to tell these guys I need more stuff for photos huh sidehack?

[armedmilitia]

I put together a handful of sidehack sticks (2x Compac and 1x 2Pac) into the ultimate mining machine. Right now I've got a 1 in 9 million chance of hitting a block each day, wish me luck

Here's a pic of the rig in action:



Here's a pic partway through construction, that shows the guts of this monstrosity:



The exhaust fan is powered by USB (it's a 12v fan so 5v makes it nice and quiet) and so is the fan attached to one of the compacs. The fan attached to the compac is a former laptop CPU fan that's been repurposed for extreme (ly sketchy) cooling.

Below is a series of progress pics:



Note the sketchy off-brand thermal paste and the very secure method of installing the heatsink with electrical tape. Despite this, it runs far cooler than the other compac, probably because the fan is designed for cooling a 30W CPU. Too bad my hub is too weak to crank the voltage up.

Hey guys and girls, finally got our fan kits up on the site, its sized specifically for the GekkoScience Hubs.

dual 70mm fans on a 3d printed stand keeps our miners nice and cool.
If anyone needs custom stands for larger single fans, let me know.

Well that looks a hell of a lot better than my disaster of a build. Good luck with your sales

Thanks armedmilitia, we can 3D print a custom case for you too, if your interested send us a DM and we can give you a quote based on a few more pictures.

[armedmilitia]

Thanks for the offer but I feel like the complete mess is more representative of my lifestyle

[minefarmbuy]

That build flares up my OCD but still enjoyable.
