Discussion about X299X Designare 10G new build
Hello everyone! I just assembled a PC with these components: Gigabyte X299X, 10G Intel 10900X CPU, G.Skill Trident Z Royal RAM (4 x 16GB), Corsair HX1000 PSU, and Corsair H150i Pro RGB. I haven’t added a GPU yet. At the moment, I haven’t purchased a monitor, so I was thinking of using a TV to test it. I discovered that my TV only accepts HDMI input while my motherboard only outputs DisplayPort. To fix this, I bought an adapter to convert HDMI to DisplayPort. I connected the HDMI cable to the TV and the adapter to my case. The issue is that no signal reaches the TV display.
Additionally, when I power on the PC, the motherboard LEDs flash a series of codes. They cycle quickly—sometimes holding for a second, sometimes changing rapidly. The last code stays as “AE,” which persists. Is this normal behavior? Should I investigate all the codes or focus only on the final one? Also, are those brief flashes considered typical? Please share any advice or solutions you have.
Attached is a video of the motherboard LED display and a photo of the HDMI plugged into the adapter. Thanks for your help!
Sure, I can clarify further. Please let me know what specifically you're unsure about, and I'll provide a clear explanation along with relevant references.
As Wizardy mentioned, you require a GPU to run it. Similar to other HEDT systems I’ve seen, the CPUs lack built-in iGPUs, so there’s no screen display unless the manufacturer adds one to the motherboard (some server models do) or you rely on a GPU (most other setups).
This feature isn't limited to DisplayPort; it applies to various output standards like HDMI, DVI, and VGA.
The CPUs lack integrated GPUs. They don’t have any GPU built in at all—whether it’s a CPU or a board. It doesn’t matter what kind of output the system provides. Some older models included built-in graphics, but today most require external servers. A few years ago, around 2007-2008, that was typical, which is about 12 to 13 years ago now.
The device I'm talking about is the MSI Z97 Gaming 5. It didn't require a GPU to transmit signals to a monitor or TV.
The board was designed this way. Each CPU includes its own integrated GPU, which handles certain tasks. The board still requires a dedicated GPU, even though the CPU has one built in. HEDT CPUs don’t have this feature, and I haven’t encountered any examples of them.
