Title: Dummy Plugs Not Needed?
Post by: tagged on January 08, 2014, 09:08:50 PM
I am running smos-linux and have two rigs without dummy plugs, hashing fine!

I am running 5x 280x Gigabyte cards in one rig, and 4x 280x Diamond in the other rig.  It was an accident on 1 card, but it fired up and hashed away without a dummy plug in it. So i built the next rig without, all cards fired up!

Is this a smos-linux (bamt) benefit? Normal for 280x cards? I am just damn lucky?

Thanks all!

I think the newer amd drivers allow you to run cards without dummy plugs

I have a gt 640 and I found it runs best with the monitor on, but with a blank screen. maybe I loose $.45 per month, but eh...

I'm running 9 x Radeon 7970 split over 5 motherboards, none of them are using dummy plugs. Averaging around 560kh/s with each card. Have placed priority on keeping them cool rather than squeezing and extra 50kh/s out of each. Running them at around 73C.
