Question Using the motherboard hdmi without a APU

[momomoto]

Hi guys, I have a ryzen 5 2600 and RX 580 in an Asrock b450 ITX

I was wondering if was possible to use the hdmi on the mobo in a second monitor. The reason is bc my vga have just one hdmi port and I dont have a displayport adapter.

Is it possible?

You don't have integrated graphics, so no. There's no graphics core. The HDMI ports on a Ryzen motherboard are only functional if you have an APU like the 2400G in there.

Not even if i reflashed my p106-090 to a gtx 1060 bios? I was hoping i could use the motherboard out in directx? have a 1600 in an x370, and want to sell my 1070ti to get a b550 and a 5600, and a 2200g for the x370, eventually sell the 1600 for a 3 series with the pcie 4.0 lanes. Trying to heat gun and flux off an hdmi port from a broken tv and trying to place it into the p106 would just be a nightmare.

The p106 is a whole different kettle of fish. I own one and only get it to work on my brother's 4gen intel pc. Can't get it to work at all on my ryzen 1600 pc in any form of usability. I have low hopes that you can get your config working like that, but i could be wrong, i am still learning too.

yea i have a gt710 i could plug in just to get a video out to try and reflash the p106 i have in the first place, i have three of them, It was a nightmare to get them recognized in the first place, and somehow they managed to dissappear from device manager again recently. I'd like to get them running in directx to get the extra 20 frames on my 144hz monitor in destiny.
