Multi Screen Help!

Go to solution Solved by Kurtis,

I'm using a DVI-I to VGA adapter for my my 17" 1366x768 resolution monitor. Bravia might be a 1920x1080 resolution. I'll have to use HDMI cable. which HDMI cable I should use and will my PC or graphics card overheat?

You graphics card has built in thermal throttling and unless you're dual screen gaming there shouldn't be much of a change in the gpu's use anyway, so no it wont overheat unless the cooling fan is toast, any hdmi cable should do for 1080p as long as the cable is under 2m, if you're planning to do a lot of insertions it might be better to invest in a slightly higher build quality cable though.

MY PC config:

Intel DH61BF

core i3 3220

Asus Strix GTX 960 2GB

8GB Twinmos ram

WD 1TB Black & 250GB Seagate

550w Thermaltake Litepower

 

So I use a 17" Dell monitor for my PC. But I have a Sony Bravia 24" monitor(http://www.sony.co.in/product/klv-24r402a) So can I use it for multi screen. One screen for game other one for desktop or internet. Will I face any problem?
