[SOLVED] Adapter hdmi-dvi

[rvqx2]

Can i remove 4 pins from my hdmi-dvi adapter to connect to the monitor?
I bought an adapter HDMI-DVI female male. The DVI side has 24+1+4 pins. I understand that the 4 pins are for analog signal, but HDMI has no analog. The monitor has only room for 24+1 pins. Can i remove the 4 pins from the adapter to connect to the monitor? Is there a reason the adapter has 29 pins instead of 25?

You need a active adapter to convert digital to analog these are usually fairly expensive for about double the price you could just buy a cheap HDMI /DP monitor.

if im seeing it right, he doesnt need those 4 pins, so its not digital to analog conversion
those 4 pins can be removed, but adapters like this are only single link, meaning low resolution/refreshrate
no clue what monitor OP has, if single link wont be sufficient, then dual link active adapter would be needed

Thanks kerberos, i try to remove the 4 pins, a low resolution is not a big issue for me, i do not understand they have the 4 pins.

those 4 pins are for DVI-I and you have DVI-D

HDMI/DVI adapter should not have those additional pins.
Can you show a photo?

Anyway - you could get DVI-I to DVI-D adapter.

Yes, it works. Just remove the 4 unnecessary pins.
