Connect your monitor to Crosshair VIII Impact using the provided cables and ensure proper setup.
Hey there! I got a used ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Impact board and I’m impressed with its layout. It seems to work well with high-end graphics cards, even though the site mentions compatibility with G-suffixed processors. There’s also a note about needing an integrated graphics card and an AMD CPU with an iGPU. My current issue is that the board doesn’t have a DP or HDMI output, which makes connecting a monitor tricky when using the AMD APU’s integrated graphics. I’m thinking about using the USB-C port and possibly a DP cable, but I want to make sure it works with all types of monitors.
Yeah and If the APU is on the board I can never change it again ...c'mon I never said I want to do a whole build with such a configuration. Ryzen 5000 and RX 6800 coming soon, but I thought about booting up the board with an APU I have lying around until I am able to buy the other parts.
Ryzen 5 Pro 3400G works fine for me. I think the details some stores give about the board aren't entirely clear to me.
Do you have an old graphics card laying around that you can use temporarily?
It definitely includes an integrated GPU now. Still, I don’t think it’s confusing about its main purpose. The board works fine with that CPU. None of their images display HDMI or DP ports on the connections, and there’s no video output visible under the cables. Without a DGPU, your options are limited to what you already have.
Only DGPU I currently have at my desk has a waterblock, and I don’t plan to reassemble it or set up a complete loop for that. It doesn’t matter—what I said is fine for me now. I was just curious after reading things like “to use the video signal from the board you need an AMD CPU with integrated graphics.” @Voluspa You’re completely right about the lack of DP/HDMI output mentioned in the external I/O section. I also don’t want to point fingers at ASUS. They didn’t say anything directly about it. But I noticed some German product descriptions mentioning similar points, which makes me think there could be confusion or misunderstanding. Still, everything is okay for me. Thanks!
