You can use hdmi -> dsub adapter and put 100 ohm resistor across pins 1 and 6.


mate just to let you know this converter is working without resistor because the signal is converted anyway from diginal<->analog. Just plug it without resistor and you will see it works Smiley
@mettalmag - send me a PM and i'll let you know cheap offer. Just think about how to import those to Georgia Wink
PM sent Smiley

and if this converter will do its job it costs ~2$ on ebay and gives a huge difference from 1500$ to 200$ for quantity of 100. But where is logic if one can use this item for 2$ to trick the rig why there are dummys worth of 15$? What is the difference?

Never had a problem running headless with no dummy plugs in windows 8.1

Just make sure only the gpus are set as the active display, use team viewer to log in.  The only issue I have is you can not overclock memory in rx 470/480 on the non active gpu so I change it in the bios to set the clock I want.

I use ubuntu 16.04 w/ amdgpu-pro as it doesnt require X.  Just set multi-user.target (aka runlevel 3) to disable lightdm/unity and use SSH to manage.

So what are your solutions for dummy plugs?
How do you avoid the issue when PC refuses to power up without monitor/dummy plug plugged in?

I need about 100 of those and its roughly 1500$

I totally understand your target to save any penny, but with having investment of $150-200k probably the best will be to spend $1500 on reliable and proven solution.

Definitely better than solder 100 home-made plugs
I understand that and totally agree and I think that isnthe only solution for me

Managing rig when it is in next room is damn easy, monitoring is on and if something goes wrong you just go there and fix. Even if there are 10 or 20+ rigs.
What are your solutions about dummy plugs ?
Hdmi dummy plugs ? they cost 10-15$ on ebay.
I also saw tutorial to solve this via resistors plugged in VGA, but most of cards have no VGA neither DVI ports (DVI-D ports in some cases where resistors still won't work).

Dummi HDMI indeed

This one works just fine: http://a.co/8ZRl1Jn
