My motherboard has a USB-C port on it... but no HDMI port.

Specs;
ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII HERO (WI-FI) X570 ATX.
Samsung 990 Pro 2TB M.2 NVMe X 2.
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X CPU 16 Core / 32 Thread & NOCTUA NH-D15 Chromax Black CPU Cooler.
Corsair 3600C18 Vengeance LPX 64GB (2x32GB) DDR4-3600 X2.
Corsair HX Series HX1000 1000W Power Supply 80 Plus Platinum - High Performance - Full Modular.
Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 6700 XT Graphics Card 12GB.


Can I use a USB-C-to-HDMI-Adapter from that port to connect a 5th monitor? I have a 4 screen online motor racing setup and would like to periodically to view use some apps on that PC while in another room and not in the racing rig. (I want to avoid always having to unplug the current 4 screens from the GPU).

Please include your specs in your thread since sig space specs can and will change over time, rendering this thread and their suggestions to the user in the same boat as you're in now.

I've shoehorned your specs in your thread's body.

You could get an adapter from these guys;

Thanks for that.

As regards to the adapters. Putting one into my motherboard makes "PC" sense and nothing bad will happen?

Page 2-16 of the manual states: "USB 3.2 Gen 1/Gen 2 devices can only be used as data storage only."
