dvi , d-sub / vga , Question

[spirosbax]

Hi i am a first time pc builder ! I am building my first low budget (450 euros) gaming pc and I have watched and red countless threads and videos about pc building. There is one thing i haven't figured out yet!

My cpu will be AMD A8 7600 , on the site it says that it supports : HDMI 1.4a, Display Port 1.2, DVI , but i want to connent my pc to an old monitor with dsub/vga. My motherboard support vga. My question is do i need a cpu that says that it has vga support as well to connect it to it. Or is it just the MOBO that matters? Also tell me your thoughts about this mobo if you have time: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132055

Thanks in advance

If you get a motherboard with a VGA output on it, it should work. You don't need to get a particular CPU for it.

If the MOBO has the connector it will work afaik.

You can always get a 5$ adapter, I'd recommend DVI to VGA adapter since these are both quite robust ports/connectors, but as the guys said before, if the motherboard supports VGA you have nothing to worry.

TO ANYONE WHO USES VGA, use this dead pixel repair tool's checkerboard test pattern: http://www.strony.toya.net.pl/~awulkiew/?page=pixelrepairer〈=en

then hit "Auto Adjust" on your VGA monitor.

The increase in clarity on older VGA displays is astounding with a proper shielded cable and the auto adjust calibrated perfectly.

The pixel-perfect checkerboard gives the monitor something to lock onto on every part of the screen when auto adjusting.

thanks for your fast replies guys! I have some more questions , i will post them here instead of creating a whole lot of new threads,

1) If i buy a case with preinstalled fans , can I place them the other way? what i mean is that have seen a couple of videos about air flow and negative/ positive airflow and I want to make my case with 1 fan at the front pulling air , 1 at the side pulling air inside as well , the aftermarket cpu coller , and 1 fan at the back exhuasting air , so how can i know if the preinstalled cpu pulling air? If i cannot can i at least place it the other way around and create the airflow i mentioned above? ( also what do you think about my airflow thoughts?)

Thanks in Advance

You can place them backwards. I would try to go for bottom front of the case to top back. My pc has derpy graphics cards coolers and it works better to exhaust from the front. Just experiment.

So there will be no compability problems with placing the fan backwards right?

There shouldnt be any compatability issues. probably 99% of fans have the mounting holes all the way through. standard computer fans always blow air out of the motor side, and they generally dont work well with the sucky end right up against a thick grill because the blades create a lot of turbulance when moving right next to the grill. most cases are designed to avoid this (recessed grill, fan standoffs, ect) but my case was probably sold for about 20 bucks 15 years ago and I just cut out the grills completely and my airflow doubled and the noise went way down.

what do you mean? : the sucky end right up against a thick grill because the blades create a lot of turbulance when moving right next to the grill

sry , english not advanced enough...

Lol the intake of the fan right up against the mesh on the case. everytime a blade moves past a part of mesh, the air hits the mesh and creates a noise. this is why indoor pedistal fans are much quieter with the guard removed.

Thanks! Now I get it, it's like when we were kids and started talking close to the fan to make voice sound robotic!

that is actually from the blade reflecting the sound back, but because the blades are moving, the sound is reflected back in different places. its kinda similar
