Just make sure you get the right adapter, since there's DVI-D I and A I think.

you can use a DVI cable that is 24+1 with that monitor, the extra 4 pins are for audio, you'll have no issues with video if you want audio you'd have to either use other form of audio or get a display port/hdmi to dvi 24+5 adapter if you want audio from the monitor from what it sounds.

What about a dvi cable would a dvi 24 +1 work with a monitor with a dvi 24 +5 port ?

DVI to DVI should work. If you get the right adapter. But you wont get sound

And plugged that into my gpu and my monitor which is a 24+1 it will work fine

If it's 24+1 at both ends yup it'll work
