10 Port USB HUB ORICO not enough power

I think my ORICO 10 Port USB HUB don't get enough power to distribute into the slots to mine my Asics.

All my Asics are working fine, but when I connect them all in the slots, some doesn't mine nothing.

Is there something I can do to fix it?

Thanks.

Try to get just one block erupter usb (or whatever you are mining with) running, then add others one at a time until you get them all working.

I did that, they start to work, but after some time they stop mining.

On the ports I place the Asics, I got lots of HW (HardWare errors), but I tested all the Asics separately and they are working.

Your PSU should have at least 0,5A for every USB Miner plus 0,5A spare. So if you have 5 USB Miners, your PSU should have at least 2,5A, better 3A.

In that case, then I would just run fewer of them on that hub. So just add 1 at a time until you have a number of them that are stable (running non-stop for a day or more), then leave the other ports empty.

Also, make sure you have a fan blowing on them as that will reduce the hardware errors substantially.

I'm using only 7 ports now. If I use more they stop working

The PSU is 3A, I'm using the HUB USB 2.0. I saw the USB 3.0 with PSU 4A, I guess the 4A should work all ports.

I'm planning to get the HUB 20 ports with PSU 8,5A. Is that a great deal?

Yes, but I'm in doubt of HUB USB 3.0 10 PORTS - PSU 3A and HUB USB 2.0 20 PORTS - PSU 8,5A.
