Skylake iGPU and VGA monitor?

[arch200]

Hello.
I want to know if I can use the iGPU of i5 6500 with a vga monitor.

My budget is tight so I will upgrade the monitor and buy gpu later on.
The mobo is Asrock B150M Pro4 and has a D-sub (VGA) port. Also using the iGPU for browsing and gaming (dota2,csgo) will this require a aftermarket cooler or should I stick with the stock one?

Hi, It's ok, you can use it. I'd replace the stock cooler with an aftermarket one, when the budget allows it. Until then, I see no issues in using it. You can monitor the CPU temperature under load, and then decide.

That's awesome, thank you.
