Before you do the reinstall, try getting your resolution up so that your terminal can fit about 120 columns, 75 rows.
It looked a little cramped from your earlier screenshot.

resolution is at 1680 x 1050, used my phone to take the pic.
What would be the proper way to reinstall cgminer? I figure with Linux there is a right to do it and then there is Windows...
Edit: I went ahead and just reformatted the drive and reinstalled everything. I now have the correct screen headings with all the details.
I thank you all for your patience and am very grateful for the help.

Assuming that was the end of this issue.
I matched the sleep time in one of the threads to be similar to that of the build you pointed out as allowing the faster speeds.
Why it is fine on linux but appears to have an impact some windows machine with usb3, I haven't made that connection yet.
Since I found a machine I can recreate it on, I'm making a note to revisit it someday to understand it more.

Thats why I do love this forum. For all the idiots and scam artists there are on here there are tenntimes as many people willing to help out and be part of the community.
Thanks for the update vh. I will be trying it out shortly. What was the problem in the end? I know computers but no where near the extent most on here do lol

The pc i initially tried it on is intel, the second is a ryzen mining rig and still the same problem 
I will try an earlier version of cgminer to see if it improves anything.
EDIT:
Just downloaded the Nov 7, 09a2f37 cgminer and now hitting expected hashrates. Its only been a few minutes but the signs are promising *finger crossed*

I was actually getting better results using a USB 3.0 hub connected to a USB 3.0 port on my Windows 10 laptop (when compared to using a USB 2.0 hub connected to my one USB 2.0 port). Two of my laptops (including my high-end, primary one) have the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller, and it hasn't ever caused me any problems. Glad you are finally seeing some speeds above 55Gh/s now! This great community will help you until it's fixed - love that!
New build (7a48c8f)

Thanks for the update vh! =)

New build (7a48c8f)
Same instructions:
rename (save), clone, build.
Add new testing parameter --gekko-serial
Accepts double quoted, comma seperated list of Serial Numbers to target.
Available for all gekko miner types. Especially the 2pac type.
--gekko-serial "GS-10001010,GS-10001011"
Remove excess noise from default display.
- Individual device HW errors can be found by pressing d, i, then [space].
- Move ramping notes to LOG_INFO during restarts.
Misc Tuning & Fixes
- Additional thread priorities and timing adjustments.
- Solves some windows + usb 3.0 combo capping miners at 65GHs
- Free up some cpu cycles where possible.
- Fix errors cause by lost precision on fractional frequency steps.
Windows binary: cgminer-4.11.1-windows-gekko-7a48c8f.7z
Windows binary: cgminer-4.11.1-windows-gekko-60d9f64.7z

sha1sum 4c2b86473f1b7ae51ffa0aa415bbd916b3e62954 cgminer.exe
edit:
Looks like that frequency fix didn't make it in on this build.
Use frequency steps/multiples of 25 for better results until the next build.
edit:
That was important enough to squeeze in.

And do make sure you're installing the ncurses library. The only time I've seen what you're seeing, it was the only thing missing.

That's good news that the sticks aren't limiting that upper bound.
Let me see if I can find a machine that behaves the same to take a closer look.
I am still unable to see the individual results of each stick and would greatly appreciate some assistance in resoving this if a new install does not fix it.
I will try reinstalling cgminer again from scratch in the afternoon as I am getting home late again.
G'night all

one of my issues I found with every one of my rigs is the Intel based board has the Intel USB 3.0 bug that was causing issues and I had the same problem, it only had 3.0 USB ports. I ended up setting up an old AMD rig to get around it.

Updated the list. I have tried a different pc which is the remnants of a mining rig and still the same issue even a single stick on each usb port. I can try a different version of cgminer but unfortunately ant chane the fact its windoze or usb 3 as I only have usb 3 ports on both pc’s. The hub is usb 2 with a usb2 cable but onviously that has had no effect.

Update:-
Unplugged the both sticks from the hub and plugged ONE stick directly into the usb3.0 port on the computer with a usb fan cooling it from another port. Ran at 300m at stock vcore and still only getting 53.6gh. Any ideas?

Here are the usual troubleshooting swap-able parts that will typically pick up an anomaly:
Using a different hub or no hub.- Using a different usb port.
- Using a different PC.
- Using a different build of cgminer.
Using a lower frequency.Using a different vcore.
strike-thru-ing the ones you've mentioned you've tried or are not relevant.
Stray troublemakers (better to avoid using)
Extension cables- USB 3.0
Other devices on USB bus- Windows
I think most of this is in the first post, but a few are not so I'll cross reference and update it a moment.

i know this sounds odd, but give the miner a minute to rest. if they overheated, letting them "rest" for an hour unplugged usually helps. If thats the case, please see what you can do to add a little cooling. you may want to run at 75MHz temporally too, until you can get some cooling on them.
IF you purchased your miners from our store, contact me over DM or email and I'll make sure your taken care of.

Many thanks,
it's up and mining again. Replaced the fan, put it back to stock and will leave it for few hours and then increase again.
December 12, 2018, 02:58:50 AM
200 is stock I believe. Try there after a decent break and maybe separate instances with --usb :1 if you haven't.

Cooling was on all night (case fan) aimed straight at the pcb and heatsink.
I'll check it again once I get home

I had a 2pac with this same issue. 419's advice is solid. Even a quick unplug, replug didn't help right off but eventually it started hashing. If it's OC'd I reset to stock after a rest and drive it back up slowly.

Also, i just finished fan stand templates for 80mm and 120mm fan mounts. uploaded to the thingiverse,

Woke up this morning to see my Newpac resetting every 5 seconds. Rebooted the Pi and USB hub. Started up cgminer again and got 0 chips found. Fired up another linux box and compiled cgminer, just to get the same message with 0 chips found (this time without the USB hub).
Haven't tried it in Windows yet will do when I get home from work.
