Title: How can I see the temperature of the GPUs when headless? Post by: bubischolz on February 27, 2017, 07:21:39 PM Hi,
I am running 5 rigs (each with 6* RX 480 8GB XFX XXX). I am running all of them headless with Teamviewer, for which I had to make the onboard graphic my primary source (and disabled rendering of the gpu) . But when I access the rig now none of the software (f.e. GPU-Z) can show me the temperature of the GPUs. Actually I cannot even access the AMD settings/Wattman etc., or control anything without plugging a monitor in. In my specific setup plugging in a montitor in all rigs everytime I want to look&change something is a big effort. I read about dummy plugs that I could buy to fake a monitor. But even that is not an option right now for me (living on the ass of the world they will not arrive soon) and I am going on a long trip in 2 weeks. So is there any other possibility to access those settings when no display is plugged in? BTW the Motherboard is H81 Pro BTC 2.0 Title: Re: How can I see the temperature of the GPUs when headless? Post by: suggsy89 on February 27, 2017, 08:22:01 PM You need at least one monitor or dummy plug per rig if using the same GPU's
Without this the cards are not "connected to the system" so you will not see temperatures or be able to make changes to core voltages etc. Title: Re: How can I see the temperature of the GPUs when headless?

At least, I can see the temps in the cli output when I use chrome rdp. Title: Re: How can I see the temperature of the GPUs when headless? Post by: bubischolz on February 27, 2017, 09:45:43 PM thanks guys. I also tried a long time, so i give up now :) and get dummy plugs when i am back.
And just to be double sure and to understand: I plug a monitor in now, change the settings (f.e. fan speeds/core voltage etc. in AMD settings), then - even when I boot later without a display - those settings still apply, right? I am just wondering because if the AMD settings donīt start in headless mode how can those settings be applied. Title: Re: How can I see the temperature of the GPUs when headless?

Even in claymore I see the temps only when a display is plugged in. Title: Re: How can I see the temperature of the GPUs when headless?
