I literally just laughed out loud. Normally Newegg is pretty good about pictures illustrating the product. But fark me sideways here. This was the actual cable picture on the Newegg product page. img removedBut you're right. Maybe pictures will help? img removedimg removedok, something new I am seeing now. Is this what you mean? (We need only single 6-pin connector on each line) I know, this newegg pic makes no sense! lol.

You're a regular detective you are! Yes. Running the kind of amperage required by the Cubes off the +12V from a single line with two connectors is not a good idea. Even on the Low clock setting. It's not that two 6 pin connectors off a single line is bad in general. But for this application or something similar two independent lines is preferred and absolutely necessary in some cases.

Alternatively stex2009 could also try those two 4 pin molex to 6 pin PCI express connectors to ensure each line connected to the Cube is receiving sufficient power.

so why won't this work ? these are 2 separate lines?

Hi all. I can really use some help here: I have this ASIC cube set up as per your instructions, and the darn thing will not hash above maybe 4gh/s unless I sit on the BE cubeminer screen and click on pools every few seconds (or when data stops streaming in) This is my set up. I cannot use anything other than 0.0.0.0 as it's gateway as it is up on a business network) ..or am I doing something wrong. http://i62.tinypic.com/2qu7n7b.pngPlease help!

- Make sure your router's subnet is 1, ie 192.168.1.x

That's just initially. He has internet so its not the problem. Hi all.

Take the port out of the IP, long pool should be active (which may be causing what you have).

Removal of the ports from the ip address did nothing. :/

Yes. Try swapping your PSUs round, see which PSUs/cubes work.

I snagged one of these off eBay. It's used so I actually started with a visual inspection. I noticed more dust on the fan than I was comfortable with so I took the fuse out and unscrewed the cover, then the shiny fan screen screws and cleaned it off. Took a cotton swab around on the inside when I noticed some of the blades were not in their tracks molded in the case and even touching the adjacent blade.
I took the cover off the other side and pushed the whole unit out from the connection side to re seat all the components in their tracks. This was a little tricky, if I got the bottom going to far ahead the blades got hung up or the opposite would happen when the blades got ahead. But eventually it slid in place nice and smooth. However, it seemed like when I set it back upright the weight of the blades in the center caused the controller board to bow slightly to the point where those blades would pop back out of the tracks again. I could see where once the device was up and running and generating heat that the controller board would lose some rigidity and the blades popping out easily. I spent maybe 5 minutes thinking of what I would stuff under the controller board to support it when I did the V8 forehead slap and said to myself, “Just turn the damn thing upside down.” Viola, now the 6 study heavy heat sink laden blades support the light controller board and gravity keeps them in their tracks.
