Nforce 4 motherboad

for those who bought a nforce 4 motherboad, can you tell me where to hook up the monitor, here's what it look like.

 

On the Graphics card.

 

but I thought that you hook up the monitor to the motherboad before the graphic's card

 

No, you only hook up a monitor to a motherboard when you have on-board video.

 

Who else is scared for that mobo?

 

you need a graohics card unless your motherboard has onboard video

 

this does not have onboad video, also, what's a MOBO?

 

Holy 15 Pin D-Sub Batman!

 

Your building a pc......





ha........... <--that wasnt me..........I like dots........

 

**(says "I" while rasing hand)

It goes to the videocard..

 

I suggest some research before you attempt to do anything at all

 

I suggest A LOT of research, and looking around on the forums to learn a bit

 

why dont you idiots try to help him instead of asking him to search google and stuff

i have a evga nforce4 sli mobo (mobo = motherboard)
it does not have a onboard video card so you will have to get a graphic card

 

we told him that unless he has onboard video that he needs to have a video card to be able to hook up a monitor

 

Because anyone who buys a motherboard without onboard video, then posts on the internet about where he should plug in his graphics card obviously doesn't belong on the internet in the first place.

Maybe he should get his head out of Hyrule and back into the real world. Or go back to NES, maybe he can figure out where to plug the TV into that one...

 

Can't help but think this guy is winding you all up. His sig suggests he has a mod worklog somewhere... yet he doesn't know that he needs a graphics card?


Hmmm....

 

If this really isn't a windup, I suggest you go and do a lot of reading before you damage something. Seriously. However, I can see where the confusion would arise.

NVIDIA make graphics cards, yes, but they also make chipsets. While some of the older versions could have onboard video, this is not usually implemented in the modern versions and so they're just standard motherboards. Just because a company makes graphics cards doesn't mean that everything they design has a video socket on it

You're only about 10 years out of date. You had to do this with 3D accelerator cards (e.g. the 3dFX Voodoo) but for a very long time that hasn't been needed.

 

Because maybe he should have researched all of this stuff BEFORE he started to build a computer? That's what google's there for bud.

There are plenty good guides, and crap loads of information about building computers all over the internet; many of them have far more information that we could ever bother to explain using a forum, so why try and re-invent the wheel?

 

so are we here to only help the experts/knowledgable computer people.

 

No, we're here to help real people with real, serious problems. He can read the thousands of guides and everything else there are out there, or Google. Heck, a few days ago the main Bit page even linked to the Corsair guide to building a computer.

We're not here to answer "how do i internet LOLOLZ?!"
