Three ideas 
1) --suggest-diff 442
Using lower will be ignored on my pool
Or just set it on the Workers->Management page to 442
2) try: --gekko-compacf-freq 450 --gekko-start-freq 300 --gekko-mine2 --gekko-tune2 60
Of course, as obvious, make sure it has enough cooling
3) grab a screen shot so we can see what it says

Ran the code as prescribed (image link 1) but to no effect.. Before that I went through the cgminer installation process again to make sure all was in order there.

The frequency stays at 200MHz and does not change at all. Here's a screenshot of what I see. https://imgur.com/h4VH7f9
Could it be a hardware related issue like insufficient power supply or am I missing something here..? The stick itself seems to be running fine in its current state and is cooled to around 27 degrees celsius.
Thanks in advance!
