Topic: Win7 Enterprise x64 ..mining tools? 2.5 BTC BOUNTY! (Read 4533 times)
I was under the impression that anything between 50-150 Ohms will do the job, I even read that a staple was used and someone used a twist tie but took the plastic off...
Because guiminer doesnt sees the 5850s maybe the dummy is wrong i used 75 ohm transisotrs
Did you mean to say transistors? You're supposed to use resistors, making sure the leads (legs, wires) don't touch any other leads.
Is that how you connect them? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/849/vgabuchse.jpg/
Because i already hat trouble get the 5870 working fast enough but now my 5870 is runnig at 420 mhashes what are the next steps to install the 5850?

creatin those dummy plugs is such an PAIN IN THE ASS!!
rrgghhh..i really don`t get it..i tried while the comps were running..and between restarting them..buzt i only get 18of40cards running..is this plain lkuck or am i missing something imortant

And thank you for your generosity.
@ gogusrl just sent 2BTC ur way..
@ frisco sent u 0.5 BTC for the Dummy Plug Zorina link! works like a charm !
Thank u all guys..!!!

i have just seen that the windows 7 enterprise is 32bits ! ! it will also work yes? with 4 gpus? i just use the 32 bit drivers right?
Sure, should be just fine.

I'd recommend installing windows + drivers with a single card in the system and then adding the other 3 + dummy plugs.
okay a cab is on its way to get them for me lol
so i ordered 50 of 75ohm and 0,25watt and 50 of 75ohm and 1 watt !
should be more then enuff !
and i am can still install alle the software & add the plugs later on right? or is it better to do before installing the ati drivers?

Tutorial here ( http://www.overclock.net/folding-home-guides-tutorials/384733-30-second-dummy-plug.html )says 68 but I used 75 ohm and it worked fine.
edit : here is the registry hack that is supposed to "replace" the dummy plugs but it didn't work for me : http://www.overclock.net/amd-ati/954528-all-radeon-6950-only-flashing-shader-5.html#post12819472

I have seen somewhere a register trick to avoid them but people reported it wasn't working.
Anyway first try without it, don't expect to work but could be if not you can always plug the card to a monitor, start a miner on that card and change the monitor, as long as you keep everything running you don't need to have a monitor connected real or faked.

thank u all guys ! I will manufactor them myself ..i want to start tonight!
so can u tell me how much watts i need for the resistors ? 75ohm right?
the guys at the shop asked me
really the last question

You can buy already made dummy plugs from here : http://cablesaurus.com/ but they're situated in the US and it will take a while for them to get to you.
I can also make them for you and ship them (I'm from Romania so it shouldn't take more than 2-3 days for them to get to you). If you are interested, please PM me and we'll discuss the details.

great ! i will try it ! bounty will be sent when i got them running!
and then i will check the posting times to split the bounty !
just one last thing
is there any way to get around the dummy plugs??
i have 10computers here with 4x5870 ! and making 30 dummy plugs will take some time ..or can u gimme a link whre i can buy them (in germany) ..i dont find any ..

Indeed you only need 1 resistor to create a dummy plug:

Pretty much everything else is covered on previous posts:
+ Catalysts 11.6 including SDK 2.4 ( http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/radeon_win7-64.aspx#2 )
+ Restart
+ Install/Configure your miner
+ Activate cards (dummy + extended desktop). ( http://blog.zorinaq.com/?e=11 )
+ OC as needed (MSI Afterburner: http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm )
+ Run and check everything is ok.

As for dummy plug, I guess your card comes with DVI->PCI-Adapter. Should work.
You can't just use the DVI-VGA adapter as a dummy plug without modifying it, though it is pretty simple to do yourself

Currently i have the same Problem but i thinck you will need dummy plugs ^^
Install ATI driver.
Install ATI Stream SDK.
Install Phoenix.
Use Catalyst for overclocking (Performance->AMD Overdrive).
Underclock your RAM with the same tool
Simple, easy, efficient.
