But I don't get the connection to the frequency setting. That issue still persists, right? Without any frequency specified, they still go right up to 500?
I dropped it all together, reinstalled fresh version of RPI and cgminer. Now it listens to  me! Grin
I remember messing with system commands, somehow I set cgminer as a system command and set it with parameters.
If it was loading the config file you saved:
If you save a config file, using the default it tells you, but then don't want to use it, you gotta find it and delete it.

It will be saved in the directory of the user who ran cgminer.
If you use sudo then the user is root, not the user that typed the command.
That's what 'sudo' means.

When you pressed S+W it told you where it saved it.

Something like /root/.cgminer/cgminer.conf or /home/yourusername/.cgminer/cgminer.conf

You right, I remembered doing it this way, I ended up reinstalling the RPI and Cgminer, didn't want to spend anymore time on it at the moment.

Haven't mined for a while and finally started again, still trying to tacle the voltage drop.
Power supply is constant at 5.2V (60A supply), even loaded, which is default voltage on the hub, so it's the voltage regulating chip in the hub.
When hub gets loaded, voltage drops on sticks to like 4.7V, using about 3A of power. That's rining 8 sticks. (Same on second hub)

Will turning voltage pods help much or this voltage is simply too low for the chip.

What Voltage Chip should run at? (Range?)
I can measure the voltage if you tell me where (I remember once someone posted the contact points, but won't find it now)
What I'm afraid is turning up the pod too high in offset of the future V drop.
My Initial voltage is 5.2V, I dont want to burn the chip if INITIALLY let in too much V. before the drop that will occur with load.
Does it have thermal protection?
