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

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

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.

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

I'll send you PM. i know wher to buy. my standard delveriry website in Germany has some

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

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.

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