[SOLVED] Can i connect my old vga monitor to my pc motherboard using a hdmi to vga cable (not the small box)?

[Rohun]

so i have an old VGA monitor, that i want to connect to my computer.
My computer motherboard( i don't have a GPU yet) is a z270 krait gaming and it has HDMI and display port connections.
I saw that there is a cable that i can use to convert it but i also saw like a small converter box.
After reading on this a bit, i read that the cable only works if the device(my board) supports analogue to digital conversion by itself, else i will have to use the small converter which is quite expensive in my country as compared to the cable.

According to MSI's specs, that motherboard doesn't have Displayport, but HDMI and DVI-D.

The cable and box you're referring to sounds like an active converter to enable a digital signal to be converted to an analogue signal. A DVI port can be digital only (DVI-D), analogue only (DVI-A), or digital and analogue (DVI-I).

Putting these two bits of information together, if you want to use the VGA monitor you will have to use a digital to analogue active converter somewhere along the connection.

As long as it has an active signal converter it should. It's best to check the information provided for a specific product.

This one, for example, should work: https://www.amazon.com/Active-Adapter-Benfei-Converter-Gold-Plated/dp/B01KLKQN9U
