I followed the thread but 99% is on PI4, linux...
I have not seen a solution to these problems in Windows
I went through a lot of pages here and on YouTube in the last few days

Still, ask in the other thread like os2sam said. I don't think many people are even reading here anymore. |

So I finally got started solo mining. I started with my two NewPacs. I will test the Terminus 808 I got off of ebay and if it works will add to this rig.
Then I will setup another RPi 4 to run my 4 Compac-Fs and the R909 that is supposed to be delivered tomorrow!
how do you add a screenshot / image to this post? choosing the insert Image button just ads IMG tags.

R909? Is that a new miner or did you mean R606? |

The 808 was our first pod miner, with 8xBM1384 chips, from five or six years ago. We only made about 300 of 'em.

Windows 10 sucks forever. Unless you've messed with the stick voltages (or there's no fan on them), there's no electrical reason they'd run that poorly. Every stick is tested to 200MHz on stock before it ships, and most of 'em will do upwards of 400MHz on stock voltage if they're kept cool. That's why I put a fan header on the hubs.
Please tell me you got a fan on 'em.
Was going through this thread and noticed this post about 12V fan header on the Gekkoscience hub.  This could be pretty handy for plugging in a fan big enough to cool all the sticks on the hub. The trusty arctic breeze USB fan which was quite popular in the past, has been discontinued by the manufacturer so that's another reason for looking at non-USB options. I don't think I've seen anyone post pictures of their cooling setup using this header. Curious about what type of fan and assembly works best with this. Top-mounted or side-mounted fan? Anyone have any pictures to share? I might do a custom design if there aren't many good solutions with this header out there, but thought I'd check here first. |

So I jsut got an email notice from Bitcoinmerch.com about NewPacs being back in stock. I thought wow.. those were from 2018 and 2019.. Really? So I go to their website and check and sure enough BitcoinMerch.com just listed some new NewPacs for sale @$149.00 each. Says they have 12 of them. Think they just found an old stock box of 12 sitting in the warehouse?

Probably. We haven't manufactured new NewPacs since about the middle of 2021, before the Compac F came out.

I used a side-mounted 120mm fan with 2 Compac F's, but if you have more chips, top mount sounds like a better idea. You could even use a fan header splitter to use 2 or more fans, of course. So I jsut got an email notice from Bitcoinmerch.com about NewPacs being back in stock. I thought wow.. those were from 2018 and 2019.. Really?

Honestly, ever since the R909 launched there's no better value for home mining than that. $150 is a ton of money for 45Gh/s; for 4x the price, sidehacks' latest product gets you 55x the performance. So it's basically 10 times better.  |

So it's basically 10 times better. Any cons with the R909? I had the R606 but it broke within 4 months at recommended 1 TH//s settings. Zero customer service from the reseller. They took the money and ran away. The unreliable machine made me go with the Apollo BTC miner. Got a full node and a standard. Both are good and about similar cost per TH Much less problems than the R606. |

Did you buy directly from GekkoScience, or from a reseller? If so, which one?
The R909 may have the same case size but the overall design is changed considerably from the R606 to get rid of a lot of the reliability issues that one had. R606 production was straight-up stopped while there was still demand because they just had too many problems, too high failure rate despite multiple revisions.
R909 has better power handling, better cooling, heck it's even got better solder. The biggest problem so far is heatsink screws coming loose during transit but assembly procedures had already been changed by the third reported case.

Mine was from Amazon seller Eyeboot. Got in contact with them and 419Mining for repair, but they were swamped with complaints with the R606 and just stopped replying. Was running at freq 700 for about 1 TH/s as advertised and it still failed |

So you did not buy directly from Gekko, therefore I request you amend your statement that Gekko took your money and ran, providing no service.
It's a bit troubling that Eyeboot, who did take your money and owes you service, didn't follow up properly. Try contacting him again, and tell him I sent you.

You're right. The reseller took the money and ran away. (amended) Too late to get refunded. My R606 is in the garbage for months after waiting forever and reading post from others with similar problems. It had many failures and was discontinued and in my experience it was a bad machine marketed too quickly. For the buyer it doesn't matter if a Samsung TV is from Walmart or Best Buy. It's still a Samsung TV. I have no problems with my Gekko Newpac and may give the R909 a try but I'll wait a bit  |
