discussion Dummy plug

[matsta31]

So, I went to RadioScrap tonight to look for resistance in order to build a dummy plug like Cyberdruid explains in this thread :

The 30 Second Dummy Plug - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net

The only thing my local branch had was a assortment of 150 resistance ranging from 1 to 3.3 m OHM. Being 3 $, I said screw it and bought the package. Now I get home and realise there is only 2 of each when I need 3 !!!!!

My question is the following :

Can I mix and match 68 - 80 and 100 ohm ?

If so, wish me luck. As you can see in hte picture (my zoom sucks), there is no inscription on any of the resistance, only color codes. Go go Wiki !

You should be able to mix them.

Yeah I know, but I got 150 to look at. I have a headache !

Hey stop whining XD last week when doing mine I was needed to check in my father 10 000 box so you have nothing to complain about XD

let me know if it doesn't work out for you, I'll mail you a bunch of mine. :thumb:

Although you should be able to mix them for the purpose they are serving.

depending on os you don't need dummy plugs. i'm running win 7 pro 64 w/o using plugs. but need to use forcegpu flag though
