now all 9800gt using 55nm? how to check this gc using 55nm when buying at Lowyat? looking at the box?

it depends on ur proc. tri channel only i7 can support.

btw, wanna ask.. is it a MUST to stick some tape on the mobo tray screw holes before putting in the mobo??
previously the shop help me stick some tape on it.. now, after spraying the case.. forget to stick it back..

To be exact, only for LGA1366. Core i7 for LGA1156 exists, but limited to dual channel.

if they stick some tape on the iron<or any other elec conducting material> it used to prevent short circuit..

1) DVI = digital signal, VGA = analog signal

2) Depends on the available input(s).

3) Possible with a VGA-HDMI converter, but could be pricey.

What he said. Nowadays most comp screens usually come with HDMI though, and quite a few still support VGA. Check for the connector type. Sure no VGA hiding around? Also, using desktop or laptop (just curious, as my laptop got no HDMI, only VGA)?

1) Yes socket is difference. DVI is white. VGA is blue. Their pin also difference.
2) I believe start from 3 years old graphic card will pair 1 VGA and 1 DVI together. Latest graphic card most only came with DVI, few have HDMI or display port. But they will provide DVI to VGA converter.
3) PC LCD monitor or LCD TV ?
Suppose almost all lcd monitor have VGA port. Most with DVI, quite a few with HDMI.
Laptop no idea.

there are various adapters available, usually come with ur graphic card. if not, u can try to buy in garage sales... however, the common adapters i've seen so far is dvi-to-vga, and hdmi-to-dvi. never seen hdmi-to-vga adapter... but most graphic cards today have dvi or hdmi output, so u dont have to worry too much... what is ur graphic card anyway?

unless it's the new version with hdmi, vga, and dvi output, which means u wont have any problem in the first place

and ur AOC 2434PW input is like this right?


so u'll need a dvi-to-vga adapter (if u only have vga cable) or a dvi-to-hdmi adapter (if u have hdmi cable).
people are selling the adapters in garage sales from as low as rm5 to the high quality ones around rm30-40... or u can buy a HDMI-DVI cable, but pretty expensive la... about rm100+...

hmm, to solve the problem, you need a DVI to HDMI converter(some GC do provide the converter), then use HDMI cable to monitor..

@jason18689,
yup, that's exactly how hdmi cable looks like. u can see on the pic that "hdmi" is embossed on the plugs.
so if u have the hdmi cable, and ur gc output n lcd input looks like the above, then the solution would be>> LCD----HDMI CABLE----DVI-to-HDMI-adapter----GRAPHIC CARD. the dvi-hdmi adapter should be included with ur graphic card during purchase. try lookin for it in the box.

@jason18689

i dont see why you cant just dvi to hdmi cable?

i got mine for just rm28 (2 meter), no need dvi to hdmi adapter

display mine perfectly

question:
