can't you just start the miner and then mover the cable to the next card and then start the miner there. doesn't that work?

the three has nothing to do with failure
3 is the number of "signals" that are normally loaded by a monitor
the 75 ohm is the normal load for video stuff
that does not mean 75 ohm resistors are real resistor value in the way they are designated
68 .. 82 are 10 % values
you need 5% for 75
and in the real world anything with in 10% should do the job
Failover maybe? In the real world electronics for purposes like ours must have backup wiring/chains. |

So? If you're speaking from the position of "guy with college certificate" just tell us what is inside of a mass produced 75 ohm resistors ...

the cheep ones are carbon 1% ones are some kind of metal film |

Well I guess im trying with the dummy with just one resitors going from pin 1 to 6. Im receiveing the first card in like 10 days or less I guess. Hope everything goes ok.
Thanks for all the replies!

i swear to god ill keep bumping this post till someone tells me what kind of RESISTORS to Buy its not that hard to put together clip the end, plug them in, ect ect What kind of Resistors should one use? 1 watt 100 resistors? i heard people say 75 ohm or something, what about 100 ohm? or 50 ohm? what the Hell is ohm? how do you know what to use? 1/2-watt resistors ? 1/4-watt resistors ?? 1/8-watt resistors  1-watt resistors ? |

Apparently you can't read or use google 75 ohm 1/8w or 1/4w are fine anything with in 10% of 75ohm will work |

Ok, Im getting my new card today. Ill use just 1 68 ohm resistor in my dummy. I hope everything works fine  |

For my cards I used 100 Ohm resistors, at 2 Watt and they work, so these work too. I read somewhere that anything up to 120-125 Ohm should work.

After connecting the dummy, what should I change in win or catalyst properties?

My god learn to use google already!... Anyway to the confused people: Any resistor between 60 ohm and 1000 ohm WILL work, it doesn't NEED to specifically be within 10% of 75 ohm and what bull people without any electronics knowledge is spewing out, sure that's the spec for VGA but in reality it doesn't make one bit of difference because you're just making sure the conection is shorted |

Ok, I can now confirm the dummy with one 68 ohm resitor works fine!  What I still dont know how to do is how to overclock the 5850, cause it doesnt appear on Afterburner or Trixx. It only appears the 6850  |

In "settings" you should be able to switch around the master gpu. If it's not visible there then the problem lies elsewhere, your card probably didn't boot up properly.

Youre right haha, what an idiot :p update: 5850 Xtreme 800/1000 -------- 301 Mhash I tryed to low down the memorys to 500 but the syustem crashed all up and had to reboot. So i guess im leaving them at 1000 |
