I run the miner with these parameters -
sudo cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u bc1qgkdg0quzzpt5rcah7elrg06u5lvxdc34nkxwxv -p x --gekko-compacf-freq 400 --gekko-start-freq 375 --gekko-tune-up 85 --gekko-mine2 --gekko-tune2 60
In this case it supposed to run at 400Mhz but mine sets at 500Mhz as I believe I saved some day. Neither the start frequency or highest frequency works, it starts at 325 and goes up to 500...
Even if I run it with sudo cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u bc1qgkdg0quzzpt5rcah7elrg06u5lvxdc34nkxwxv -p x it will still start at 325 and target 500Mhz
That's odd; the sticks have no memory and this command doesn't load a configuration file. There is no reason it should go up to 500. You could try removing
--gekko-compacf-freq 400 --gekko-start-freq 375 and it should only go up to 200MHz (default frequency). If that doesn't work, there's something really wrong (such as having setup an
alias that calls cgminer with other options). Do you remember having done anything like that?
alias -p should show you whether you've set up an odd alias, by the way.
