I've restarted everything to track for the next 24 hours, as I've had some issues that need isolating.

Upon restart, 2 of the four units are flashing all three vcore adjustment indicators at me now. I read something about flashing lights being an overtemp indicator, its 71 degF in the room. The units in question seem to be hashing away with no discernible issues.  But, is this something I should worry about?

The miners also seem to be ignoring the custom frequency settings that I'm designating at startup [--gekko-r606-freq 700] yet the target freq is 550Mhz. I know that the autotune finds the optimal frequency for the chips at a given voltage so its no big deal. But if I want to push them a little harder, how do I get past that? <-- figured this out

I'm running on a raspberry pi with raspbian and the most recent version of the modified cgminer. My power supply is a Bitmain AWP7. Right now the target freq is 550Mhz, despite my inputs, 700Mhz at volt setting 3 4.

Edit: Back to 550Mhz, volt setting 5. Just had a nonce error and a retarget to 506Mhz, this is one of the two units with the flashing lights room temp is 72degF.
