HOW CLOSE TO  163 usd will the hub be?

 I see it is a usb 2 and I like it. I also know most of these are hard on a psu  as most newer psu's only do 25A at  5volt. 

[philipma1957]

I have a lot of atx psu's on hand.  I have this new in box:


Seasonic  Platinum-760

http://www.seasonicusa.com/images/Platinum_series/P_series_XP2_03_760.jpg   rates at 125 watts for 5 volt


I have this new in box and have to do a review for newegg.

corsair rm 650

http://www.corsair.com/us/power-supply-units/rm-series-power-supply-units/rm-series-rm650-80-plus-gold-certified-power-supply.html


http://www.corsair.com/us/media/cms/manual/corsair-psu-spec-table-091813.pdf   rates at 130 watts for 5 volt


you know for 160 usd plus 100 for a psu  you are at 260 usd  for 49 hubs.  which is  about 5  bucks a port.

  7 dollars a stick and you have  49 ports for about 600 or 12 dollars a port.   that is about 16gh for 600.  still I would not mind 1 of these

This is a corsair ax1200. It's a bit overkill but it's all I have available to test. I had to take it out of my PC so PSU not for sale.

I'd also like to note that the usb hub price will be driven by the market and may go up on the next sale. I had intended to sell for a bit more but I am price matching here. Once the market sets a price for the hubs, I don't expect that price to move like the usb sticks.

[ssateneth]

Is this powered by 12v or 5v? This is important. Most modern power supplies don't supply any more than 80-120 watts on 5v, even crazy powerful ones like corsair ax1200 or lepa 1600. If this is powered by 12v, that is much better, but still limiting because the hubs requires an atx24 pin connector instead of one of the much more available molex/sata/pci-e connectors.

USB is 5V almost certainly the unit isn't doing 100W+ 12V to 5V conversion so it is powered by the 5V pins on ATX connector.

I have 10 port hubs that come with a 12v @ 5 amp power brick, so I don't think it would be unheard of for such a large hub to downscale 12v to 5v.

Being stuck at 5v input is a shame. Will need to buy multiple ATX power supplies instead of just a single one to run multiple hubs :/

[CrazyGuy]

I haven't had time to open one up yet to see what pins are being used, but just eyeballing it I don't see any transformers in line. I'm guessing it's using the 5v pins.

[DeathAndTaxes]

More likely to be direct DC regulators like this than transformers.

Damn, that is a shame. Why can't any USB hub manufacturer make a large hub that natively uses 12v, or has raw leads for dedicated 5v power supplies?

[jelin1984]

very nice hub

[philipma1957]

unless you find an older psu most quality modern psu's will run 40 of the 49 sticks.

 I have a shitload of psu's on hand from my gpu mining days.

 I will test   all my psu's:

 seasonic platinum 1000 watt
 seasonic platinum  760 watt
 seasonic      gold   650 watt
 corsair        gold   650 watt
 nxzt        bronze   650 watt
 OCZ        bronze   550 watt


I will test each one for a day at 40 sticks 45 sticks 49 sticks and let you all know what I get.  This means more then a week of testing 


I have an older psu it is 1000 watt   can't remember the name but it is a 2008 model  My guess is it will be the best of all.

 I doubt that any of these psu's will like running 49 sticks 24/7  since most  rated at  25 amp 5volt

  crazy guy said he will ship to me today.   I will test the cheap psu's first since most of us would want to use an under 100 dollar psu not a 100 dollar plus one.

[frediiii]

how much is shipping to europe?

crazyguy, I have paid. thanks. will pm shortly with shipping info.

These ship out today friday october 25?

i swore i was done with usb sticks because of the hub hassles....  but now.....  perfect solution.....


what type of warranty on the hub itself?

[miner49er]

any idea what PSU is needed on this? for 49 ports, what's the min required wattage?

[CrazyGuy]

I have 5 left, working today but I'll be watching the address. I will update when they are sold out. I still haven't gotten a chance to open one up yet but I have asked friedcat for clarification on which pins are being used. I'll let you know when I get more info.

no you can run 3 with around 39- 41 sticks each  acutally pretty nice as it will get you around the issue that most modern psu's will want to run only 40 to 44 sticks.

  I got 113 sticks  on 1 pc.

 careful hub planning is needed.  this would make things simple

[CanaryInTheMine]

Ive got a 300 watt

It's very hard to find this kind of PSU nowdays (except hunting down a used one), so you're lucky if you have one like this.  It should work great!
5*30 = 150 Watts (available)
49 ports *2.5 W = 122.5 Watts (required by 49 sticks)

all PSUs that have 25A on the 5V ATX (<-- !!!) will give you 125 Wats while 49 sticks require 122.5 (tiny difference, relatively speaking), so you need a REALLY GOOD PSU.
I have one that's been running 24/7 ever since I tested that 49 port hub from a British company (details somewhere on the USB hubs thread)

Be careful USB also limits the number of chained decvices to 6 including the end device, any hubs, and the root hub (usb port on host).  Most USB hubs > 8 ports are actually multiple hubs chained together. 

[DeathAndTaxes]

lol who would have thought the PS is a POS out of a emachines in my garage boneyard

Sometimes old junk turns out to be a treasure.

The issue is that on modern PC the 5V rail really isn't used much.  Today almost all PC convert 100% of the power from AC to 12VDC.  Then whatever is needed on 5V and 3.3V rails is converted off the 12V rail.   99% of PC never use more than 10W on 5V rail so building massive 5V rails just means added cost for no benefit.

One thing to check is the wire gauge on your PSU ATX harness.  If it is really chip thin wires (the AWG should be stamped on the wire) it may not be able to handle a high current.

[miner49er]

Be careful USB also limits the number of chained decvices to 6 including the end device, any hubs, and the root hub (usb port on host).  Most USB hubs > 8 ports are actually multiple hubs chained together. 

So can you find out if 3 of these will run on 1 PC? would be awesome! I am thinking 1 hub to 1 usb port, no daisy chaining these monsters:P

Someone will need to try.  Like I said no USB hub discloses the internal configuration so it will need some trial and error.  2 or 3 is probably fine it each one is directly connect to the PC.

I know 18 gauge would be good. based on my gpu mining.

 maybe 20 gauge , but not in my house on my gear as I have 6 or 7 psus with  18 gauge.

I think the antec will run 40 sticks  not 49.  Most new psu's will not do the 49 sticks.  the rating is 125 watts on most and 49 sticks = 122.5 watts.

 for   safe running  you want 80%

[AbiTxGroup]

Now I am glad that I kept my Antec True Power PS's. 

I have been using a True-380 for some blades and it has a 5v 35a rail. 

I have a new TP2-550EPS12v that has a 5v 40a rail.  This was a backup ps that I had for a few gamer machines that I had.  The receipt was still in the box.  $79.99 from Frys Las Vegas Apr 11 2006.  I always kept the paperwork and boxes in case of warranty returns.

Now they will both be put to use.

I have thermaltake smart 850, single rail:

AC INPUT Input Voltage: 100V-240V

better or worse? I am thinking that the goal is lowest wattage with highest amperage? forgive my stupidity, not an electrician, slept through shop and physics classes and way too many years ago anyways

I assume the +5v 130W is what philipma1957 refers to  saying ' most are 125W '

DC OUTPUT +3.3V +5V +12V -12V +5VSB

Continuous Power 850W

better or worse? I am thinking that the goal is lowest wattage with highest amperage? forgive my stupidity, not an electrician, slept through shop and physics classes and way too many years ago anyways

I assume the +5v 130W is what philipma1957 refers to  saying ' most are 125W '

It is most wattage and amperage but ON THE 5V rail.

Watts = Current  * Voltage

The nameplate you posted shows 5V rail is rated for 25A max.
Watts = 25A * 5V
Watts = 125W

Your PSU is good for 125W on the 5V rail although you may want to back it off a little bit.  85% load would be 106W.

It is very rare for a modern PSU to have more than 125W (25A) on the 5V rail simply because almost no application needs more than half that.  Making a PSU have 250W on the 5V rail could be done it would just cost more for no benefit.

I assume the +5v 130W is what philipma1957 refers to  saying ' most are 125W '

 yeah  the thermaltake smart 850 has 2 ratings for the secondaries 5 volts at 25 amps  and 130 watts.

only one of those are correct.  since they represent different values.  5 at 25 amps = 125 watts   and that does not = 130 watts.

 newer PSU's  are 12 volt only   and then 2 dc to dc converter transistor/chips   one from 12 v to 3.3 v  and one from 12 v to 5 v.

 the dc converter is more often then not rated at 25 amps.   

 safe 24/7/365  is 80%  or about 40 sticks.

Will you be updating this same thread when new stock arrives?

[CrazyGuy]

Will you be updating this same thread when new stock arrives?

Yes, I expect more next week.

[stevenf]

Hmm very interesting!

What is the price for the hub alone with international shipping to the Netherlands?

[philipma1957]

Will you be updating this same thread when new stock arrives?

Yes, I expect more next week.

I HAVE A test bed setup.  your package is due to me on monday.


I will hookup 40 sticks to a 5 hub setup check the power use with a kill-a-watt.

I will then hook the same 40 sticks up to the 49 port hub check watts use with about 7 psu's .

 

I was doing some projections on this as a money earning space heater.
I can fit this out of site behind my flat screen tv in my basement den.  Always too cold in the winter (except last year due to gpu btc mining).
 I  will set up 40 sticks on a low power pc with this hub. I may mine 13.33 at 200 watts. That would be about 1000 btu an hour 24k btu a day or 744,000 btu a month. That is 7.5 therms of gas heat a month or around 10 bucks of free heat.

   I may be able to mine at a difficulty of 2 bill and not be losing money due to the free heat which would work until April or May.

[philipma1957]

 At canary  that is a nice find.

I found 2 others  for 20 bucks each, when I test the hub I will post if they work. I hate to tip everyone to a bad piece of gear.  If I were to bet on your psu working or the ones I found I would bet yours works not mine. the seller sells a lot of surplus my success rate has been about 75% with his gear. Even if these 20 dollar ones work I have so many psu's.

 I wonder if these use too much juice at the wall.

[CrazyGuy]

I received my second batch of USB hubs today. I will update the thread when stock is depleted.

All of today's purchases will be packaged tonight and shipped tomorrow morning. Also, I've arranged for an individual to handle shipments during the day. Starting tomorrow, all orders placed before 11:00 am CST should be shipped same day.

Received my package today... running like a champ... time to sell it off .... lol

Thanks

[philipma1957]

got mine today . having a few issues but 34 ports work fine.  right now I am using a 225 usd sea sonic  platinum 1000 watt psu. running 34 ports  . I am pulling 117 watts at the wall . not surprised as 34 x 2.5 =  85 watts divide by 70 percent you get 121 watts.   so my efficiency is in the 70's

near as I can figure my hub has 2 bad banks row 8- 14 and row 15-21 are powered but do not detect the hubs. 1 lone port does not work in bank 42-49

hard to tell why.  one thing for sure  it is a nice size for am sticks .  you can use just 2 fans to cool it.

I will test more psu's as I would like to find the best one. for running 34 sticks.

it also may be that running this hub on a different pc will allow more then 34 sticks

Is it powering the units and your controller is just not recognizing them? Try isolating the two banks in question and unplugging all other units.

25 amp.  I am also using the four pin 12 volt cable to run a pair of 12 volt fans.  total power at the wall is 159 watts for 44 sticks and 2 fans.  seems to be a decent piece of gear.

but it may vary from pc to pc.  I am going to run more tests and post later today and tommorow.    On wed. thurs  I get 2 surplus 20 dollar psu's.. if they work I will give links  to buy them.

32 running off this cheapo bestec PSU 5V 30A
.... I sold the other ones off before I tested =/
Been running 20 mins

[bitterdog]

FYI the wire gauge on this power supply is 21AWG  it is not warm at all

35 are running off of this bestec cheapo now.

Make sure you have the BE seated firmly all the way in the hub

Power Supply Im using is

http://www.amazon.com/eMachine-Bestec-ATX-300-12E-Power-Supply/dp/B000J657XA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1383008737&sr=1-1&keywords=bestec+atx-300-12e

[philipma1957]

I have 45 sticks running on this psu.


http://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Hale82-Bronze-Modular-Supply/dp/B006I2H05M  


 and 2x 12 volt fans.   I used the 4 pin out wire from the NZXT  to run the fans.  the psu is running  45 sticks and 2 thermaltake   usb fans


http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Mobile-External-Cooling-AF0007/dp/B002OJN250/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1383008019&sr=1-2&keywords=thermaltake+usb+fans


The kill a watt reads 159 watts for this hub and 4 fans.   So I am probably  right on the line of what this psu can do. I will run it over nite.  


http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/4758/nzxt_hale82_n_650_watt_power_supply_review/index.html  

 this review is the non modular one  I have the modular one  my 5 volt rating is for 25a.

the none modular rating is for 28a.  they may be the same unit with different ratings. IE this may just  be 28a even though it reads 25a.

 any how what I really like about this is it is a small hub,  you can cool it with 2x 12 volt 120 mm fans and 2 plastic grills.  

http://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-120mm-Filter-Grill-FF121/dp/B0036WTDHK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383008952&sr=8-1&keywords=fan+grill+120mm+plastic

  use 2 of these  to prevent shorts or damage to the sticks.

 attach them to your fans lay the grill right on the stick tops.  have the fans blow right up to the ceiling.  seems to work.

last set




current bitminter mining




the 20 hub plus the 49 port .    I think I have it at 19 of 20 ports and 46 of 49 ports. 4 fans. 

the  grand total power of 301 watts. I want to add a second 49 port to this rig if I can. 

 I would be at about 450-460 watts and about 111 sticks

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.

Any that read 25 amp and 5 volt  Should run 40 sticks  after 40 it is a crap shoot.  If you can wait until weds the low cost one from mcmelectronics.com comes to my house .

 I will post results.  It would be about 14 plus 10 to ship. with code AFC909.  I have used mcm since the 1990's they are okay.

I built MCM's search engine, ha.  Its funny to see websites you have worked on over the years pop up.

Actually they recently left our company, but I worked on their search and navigation for years....

[CrazyGuy]

All orders up to now are going out today. I'll send tracking numbers this evening. I still have a few hubs left.

[CrazyGuy]

The mcm psu's are under powered and burn up around 33 sticks.

Ah crap, that's a disappointment. When you say burn up?...

weigh less then this one

http://www.directron.com/hale82650m.html        the nzxt alone  weighes in about at  6 lbs the 2 from mcm together weigh about 5lbs. 

mcm is okay but can be a crap shoot.  looks like these are snake eyes.   unless you just want 30-34 sticks

 Oh one more thing   I got the second Hub today hooked it up and I am running 103 sticks on 3 hubs.

I will post photos.

will the mattress be in the new photos?

[CrazyGuy]

You should put one of those bad PSUs inside of the mattress and try to power 49 sticks.

[CrazyGuy]

Sold out, hoping to receive more USB stock tomorrow.

I got a

Do keep in mind people that any kind of power flicker reaks havic on electronics. Spend the money and get a UPS(Battery Backup ex: APC).

Depends on how many you are running on each hub. You could always get another cheap controller like beaglebone black or raspberry pi, although I never had any luck with the latter. In fact I've got a defective RPi I'll throw in with the first order of 2 or more hub/ stick combos. Not sure what's wrong with the pi, it resets on  me and I haven't had time to take a look at it yet. It may have a bad poly-fuse and easy to fix, or it may be a new doorstop, but who cares, it's free!

DO YOU THINK I can get a third one to work on the same pc?  be fun to try.

I think USB port limitations is 127 in Windows.

yes i have read that as the limit which  with my mobo using 1 port for mouse/keyboard 1 port for each of the 49 port hubs would be 127-4 = 123 sticks max.

now I put in a 5 port usb  pcie card in this pc and it claims i can run 127 ports on each of its 5 ports.   right now It is running the 2x 49 port hubs.  I would like to know a if the pcie card lets me get past the 127 port limit.   this asus mobo has run 113 sticks and it said I exceed the port limit when I went to the 114th stick.  I used a lot of hubs and no pcie usb2 card to get to the 113  which is the most sticks I ever run on a single machine. It would be very nice to get to 120 plus

The physical limit per usb port is 127 usb devices, this INCLUDES hubs, windows, linux, OSX, doesn't matter.

Assuming the PCI-E card runs each port individually and doesn't have it built in as some cheap ass 5 port hub you should be able to run 127 USB devices/port, if it does has some built in cheap ass 5 port hub thing then you'll be limited to 126 devices between all 5 ports.

YEAH I Think it could run 5 hubs at 49 stIcks each.  I will most likely order one more hub tonight

OMG, now that's a good use for 1-2-3 blocks... jeez I hope those are cheap enco's and not some high end staretts or brown-n-sharp... I almost fell out of my chair once I saw those.  Is that your daytime job?

[madcratebuilder]

For those looking for a psu to run this hub Rosewill 350rv has +5V@35A and is dirt cheap.  I should see my hub/miners and psu this afternoon, well report back on how it does.

I'm adding it to this pair of Pi's.

That's an extremely tidy setup! By the way fellas, I didn't receive a batch of USB units today, it was all blades. I still hope to receive enough to pair with the available hubs within the next couple days. My apologies to those of you who had your hopes up.

whats that monster in the background? looks like 70 BE's? 

[philipma1957]

whats that monster in the background? looks like 70 BE's?  

 that  looks like 7 of these

 http://www.ebay.com/itm/161140906217?



I have 2x 49 port hubs running they run 41 and 44 hubs each and I am running a 20 port hub.


one of my 49 port hubs has a bad row of 7  it has power but no hubs can be read on it.  it is okay as I am using a few of those 7 dead ports to power usb 3 fans.

I think a good mobo can do 3x  49 port hubs and up to 120 sticks  40 on each.  I have a third hub on the way.


 and I am using this 5 port  pcie usb2

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.

Thanks, that looks like a good deal overall, I will try one out, I plan to resell it eventually anyway. My old PSU says it is 29 amps on 5 volts. I tried running 47 miners and 2 fans at one point, but the power supply powered itself off when I went to run bfg miner. Since then I have left a few slots open and everything has been running well.

I know I read that 25a on 5v thing here a few times, but I just now am understanding what that means and what to look for on the psu sticker, so I appreciate your reply.

[madcratebuilder]

The Rosewill 350rv +5V@35A psu I tried would run up to 40 sticks, produce heat, wire harness warm.  I replaced it with a butt ugly Apevia AS520W, runs all 49 ports, fans on lowest speed blow room temp, no heat in harness.  If you don't mind the blue leds and green sleeves, it's a great psu for the price.

A friend of mine has this one which I can use for free.

Anyone use this one?

49 port hubs are in stock. .35 BTC with Free Shipping. I've also got a few Blade backplanes I'm willing to sell for .25 BTC with free shipping.

[pjviitas]

Can someone relay how these things are supposed to be set up?

The only way I can get mine working is to plug the empty hub into my comp first then plugging in each BE stick one at a time.

If I have to reboot the comp for any reason or I get a power outage I have to unplug all the BE sticks and replug them all back in.

Seems like a hassle.

Thanks for the feedback

Regarding my PSU it is a 5V 30A unit and runs all 49 BE sticks just fine...once its up and running that is.

Regarding the reboot problem I just found out that its a windoz thing...Linux seems to handle it just fine.

So basically, if you want to reboot your comp without touching the hub in any way simply install Linux...easy fix.

put a fuse in it?

[pjviitas]

You might have to put at least one stick into it for the PSU to sense the load.

Switching power supplies simply will not work without some kind of load attached.

[pepto]

Do you have any of the blue hubs available?  To me, they're nicer looking than the red ones.

its my understanding  you can swap the top panel with the bottom one... and make it whatever color you want...

if you look at the blue ones.... the bottom is red....   



and on the red ones.... the bottom is blue

[pepto]

Thanks Xzempt for your help,  and for not saying what you were undoubtedly thinking
 

What if I told you the top and bottom board are interchangeable?

Take the red hub…

Or the blue hub…

The choice is yours.

Let me know if you have a preference.

[xzempt]

and i had read it somewhere else before...


happy mining!
