Found that my 2012 Mac Pro can run a newpac at 400mhz connected directly to the motherboard but when I push it faster there are more hardware errors. The + for asicboost isn't there on my Mac like it is on the windows machine why is that?

Ok, i have Orico 10 Port Aluminium Super Speed USB 3.0 Hub - Black A3H10, one newpac one bi*fury one redfury but cgminer do not detect the old miners so i run them on bfgminer. a Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM connected to the hub. OSX High Sierra.

Have you tried running just the newpac on the hub on its own?

when I use use boot camp and boot the mac as a windows7 pc I get the asic boost and speeds up to 625

sigh... guess I'm gonna have to get used to windows

It purely depends on the power your computer USB can supply.
If the Mac hasn't got enough USB power - then the Mac is to blame.

You could always get a powered USB hub ... like the one sidehack sells

(I have 2 of them)

I think the bottle neck is the fact that my mac sierra os running cgminer isn't using asicboost so it maxes out at 400. I'm booting the mac pro into windows 7 using boot camp and windows can use asicboost and go over 600. I need to figure out why the asicboost doesn't work on the mac os. I've tried reinstalling cgminer still get the same result.

I have one of the gekko hubs on order from each of the only two resellers that had it in stock to make sure I get one asap for my 6 newpacs

Hey guys any idea where I can get few of those with Worldwide shipping? Used to buy them off Amazon, but seems like stock has dried out there.

Hi all im  just asking for any help or confirmation please as i'm at a brickwall now. This my second R606 from eyeboot they replaced first one kept dying on hashing. Second ran for two months then just stopped 0 Chips found usually 6 zombied on any power setting and frequency. Model is 10040350 Yellow board one. Seems pretty much dead tried everything on the forums over 2 months still dead. Any firmware flash possible or are the S9 chips dead. If so anyway to just purchase the board.

Conrad

I ordered from asic puppy and eyeboot but neither website has them listed in stock anymore. I don’t think either of my orders placed on the 19th have shipped yet either so maybe they were back ordered there too.

was it overheating? was the psu having an issue? what were you running it on?

[bluudz]

Sorry guys I didn't made myself clear I'm trying to get USB gekko Science, not the R606. They are very hard to come by those days for any reasonable price.

Hi friends, I need help. I was able to get him to run the gekko newpac on windows, but I don't get it on ubuntu, I need someone to help me in the command that I need to put in the terminal as it tells me "cgminer: --gekko-newpac-freg: unrecognized option" I have put this command and it does not work for me: cgminer -o stratum+tcp://sha256.eu.zpool.ca:3333 -u (wallet) -p --suggest-diff128 --gekko-newpac-freq 150

Thanks

I am not using Ubuntu but I am using another version of Linux, my command line is this:

./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://<pool> -u <user name> -p <password> --api-listen --gekko-r606-freq 800

Thanks for the help MoparMinigLLC, but I can't get the gekko newpac to recognize me, I can start mining, but as it doesn't recognize the asic gekkoscience newpac, it doesn't mine anything, you know if there is a driver installed and if so, how to do it , I can not find it anywhere. Thanks

the instructions are on the first page of this thread, the links to the drivers and such should all be on the first page as well.

Hi guys. May I check with you if one of my USB newpac suddenly shows 0 at the P side on cgminer, and keep resetting, what could have be the issue and is there by chance any way to resolve it?
I did not adjust the vcore before and had checked the stock position is more of a "+" vs "x" and i tried to turn left and right to make it "x" but it still stays 0.
Thanks alot

Standard questions need to be answered. What OS? What Hub etc etc
