Title: Dummy plug Help?
Post by: scapeoflegends on May 16, 2013, 10:36:05 PM
Okay So I figured out which pins to use to put an LED for VGA.

But im wondering if i can do the same with DVI?
So I dont have to buy tons of VGA to DVI adapters...

Right now i have the LED Positive in 11 and LED Neg in 7

I want to be able to do that with a DVI port and not just VGA


For those wondering Why?
When a Card gets 'SICK' or isnt working right the LED wont shine as bright..

YMMV, but I happened to get it to work, too. This photo's from SlaveInDebt (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=16816.msg241883#msg241883). Goto link for thread -- he prescribes 67.5ohm.

Running this config on my cards and it works fine.

I am running Win 7 atm, and I don't need dummy plugs but its nice to be able to look over and see if it is on/working.. I'm thinking about switching to Linux because Win 7 has given me SOO many problems..
