GPU-Z/WattTool do not show values without Monitor

[FlensGold]

Hello,
since I am running out of ideas I am asking here. I have a few rigs, most of them with ASRock H81 Pro BTC Mainboard with GPUs attached via Riser Cables (normal setup, I guess).
My problem is, that although the latest drivers are installed I do not get any sensor information on clock/memory/temperature with GPU-Z. WattTool also does not detect any values.
I do only have this problem as long as no monitor is attached to the system. If I do attach a monitor it does work.

I also should mention that I am only able to start the Windows Rigs without monitor by setting the primary display to onboard in Mainboard BIOS.

Since the ASRock H81 seems to be a popular Mainboard for GPU Miners I am hoping that other miners do have a solution for this problem.
Thank you and kind regards

You have to have one HDMI to VGA adapter, or hdmi dummy per rig, usually on a card in main(16x slot). This is the case only for AMD Polaris series of cards.

What do you think, can I use HDMI switch too?
Something like this.

Because I'd like to connect all outputs to one monitor, with sensors supported.

get a pack of .75 ohm resistors look it up super cheap super easy. for some reason on my windows rig all i have to do is attach 1 resistor and extend the desktop to 1 amd card since i do all my other bullshit on my 750ti (which isnt shit for mining but sips on power and does what i need it to). http://blog.zorinaq.com/the-5-second-vga-dummy-plug/ from the same gangsta who brought you silentarmy mining and trompsolver to make claymore a million fafillion..... ahem, with a great writeup on this exact.... same..... thing..... hit me up on poloniex peace
