i read a few threads saying they only do 43mhs.
170W with 45Mhz 
46.3mhs eth with mem 1148 (stable) oc. 170-180 watt. But can be made 150 watt with more aggressive downclock/downvolt

with the air bios or liquid bios?

Is a HDMI dummy plug absolutely required for mining XMR at 1850+? or is it just for ease of use when using remote desktop?
Is there any other suitable alternative (aside from a monitor)? as shipping seems to be obscene in time-frame.
And does it actually have to be connected to a powered-on monitor?

Also, I'm using this guide to create a start-up script;
http://vega.miningguides.com/p/auto-run-miner-without-hashmonitor.html

Where is says;
Find the section of code shown below and replace the underlined portion with the miner name of your choosing.
start "XMR-STAK Unified" xmr-stak.exe --config config.txt

what would be the appropriate equivalent for Cast XMR miner? (cast_xmr-vega.exe)
I load this miner with 'xxx.bat'

would it simply be;

start xxx.bat?

I was wondering the same thing. I have seen the guides that say the HDMI emulator is needed, but their has been some post where this is not needed. can anyone confirm if we need the HDMI emulator (one per mining computer) or if we do not need it (I am ordering some parts so I would like to know if to include one)

Thanks

I don't use HDMI dummy on my rig, but the monitor connected to the iGPU so it doesn't bother the Vega cards...

The motherboard I ordered has the IGPU as well. I was planning on using this as well and hooking the monitor up to it, getting it configured and then unplugging the monitor and then every day just plug in and check on. Will this work without a hashrate drop or do I need an emulator for the IGPU plug on the motherboard? also I have one USB keyboard I was intending to do the same thing with plug in and out every day. would this affect hashrate as well. should I go buy a dedicated mouse and keyboard for the system?

Thanks
