Just received the 3 COMPAC F kit and got the miners up and running. Currently have all three humming along at 400MHz after some troubleshooting with various forum threads. I tweaked the voltage using the bottom right screw, but ultimately think downloading the latest gekko driver settings to ramp up the chips would have solved it.
I wanted to confirm that my settings look correct in the first screenshot in order to keep these little guys on long term as a lotto play. difficulty 442, 400MHz, pool connection, correct cgminer version, correct github fork, etc.

This eventually went away, but I don't know why, so I wanted to post a few screenshots of it happening to see if anyone can identify what I'm doing wrong.

However, I'm trying to understand if they even have a chance at hitting a block solo (I know the chances are 1 in 220million or something). Does my overall hash rate have to be a minimum of the current difficulty 29.79T to even have a chance? Just trying to understand the relationship of hash rate and difficulty.
