Hello,

I'm trying to connect my 2 others screens to my new PC.
Motherboard : B760 Gaming Plus Wifi
I've tried basics like W+P / extend screen. Doesn't work.
I've also tried to change "Graphic configuration" in the BIOS (PEG to IGD) but nothing change. Screens are not detected.

Maybe I should update the BIOS ?
Current BIOS version : e7d98IMS.HA0
Is it up to date for this motherboard ? I have found that this motherboard newest BIOS version is this one : 7D98vHB.

Am I correct ?

What are the risk to update the BIOS version ?
What sould I do ? What to pay attention to ?

What else can I do to allow multiple screen on this motherboard ?

You need to supply more information about your system. What CPU do you have? Do you have a discrete graphics card? How do you plan to connect your three monitors, DP, HDMI, etc.?

You can only use the video connections on the graphics card because your i7-14700KF does not have integrated graphics. In the BIOS, Initiate Graphic Adapter should be set to PEG, and IGD Multi-Monitor should be set to Enabled. In Windows, configure your multiple monitors in Display Settings.

Here is the current BIOS config, without update :

Should I update the BIOS or doesn't matter ?

Here is the 4 ports that seems to be connected to the GPU, do you think I can connect 3 other screens to the Display Ports ?

You should not need to update the BIOS; instead, change the settings as I had suggested. Initiate Graphic Adapter should be set to PEG, and when that is set, the IGD Multi-Monitor should be available and should be set to Enabled. You can connect all monitors to the GPU as long as those monitors support DisplayPort. From your picture, it appears you have 4 video outputs on your GPU, and at least 3 of them are DisplayPort. I cannot determine what kind of port you have that is being used.

Ok, changes to PEG done, I see the IGD enabled too.
I need to wait next week for the Display Port to see if it works, I don't have the equipment.
Is there a website to check if my monitor is compatible with Display port ?

I founded also a discrete thunderbolt port, I presume it's the USB-C connected to the motherboard : can I do something with it ?

To check if your monitor is compatible with DisplayPort, check the specifications of your monitor. The specifications should say the number and type of ports your monitor supports. Thunderbolt and USB-C use the same physical connector, but the Thunderbolt interface has much higher performance. You can plug USB-C devices into the Thunderbolt port, but Thunderbolt ports are usually used for external hard drives, monitors, docking stations, and more, things requiring high-speed data transfer and higher power delivery.

I should also mention that some monitors support Multi-Stream Transport (MST). With MST, you can connect multiple monitors in a chain using a single DisplayPort cable from your PC to the first monitor and then connecting the first monitor to the second, and so on, like a daisy chain.

Stop.

your CPU Has No IGPU to Provide a Signal to any of the Ports on the Motherboard itself to Provide a Graphics ouputs as they are all coming from the CPU and as you have a CPU ending in F its a total NO-GO as it has no Integrated Graphics so there all ports that are Dead. only your Dedicated GPU can Send a Signal to a Screen VIA its own Ports.

you would need a CPU that does not end in F to be able to have the Motherboards own Graphics ports being able to work which you have a i7-14700KF<<< THAT HAS NO IGPU.

We are talking about the display port connected to the GPU, should work to connect monitors no ?
Why sell a computer with 3 display port on the GPU useless then ?! :confused:

Here is the inside and pictures for the different connectivities :

I see two part for this PC :
part1 - the motherboard with cooling system - 1 port HDMI and 1 Display Port (top of the picture) 4 USB port

part1 hdmi display port.jpg


part2 - the GPU that seems beside the motherboard / connected ? - 1 HDMI, 3 Display Port

These Are all Dead for Graphics outs with your CPU so no Output Can Be Used from Them

These ones are Usable

the ones with Red Crosses Need the CPU to have a IGPU in it only the ones on the GPU can be Used.

I better understand. Well.

it can be Confusing on Newer Hardware as newer Boards need any ports on a motherboard to be Driven from the CPU but intel make the Normal ones that all have GPU's and then they do the F versions that have that missing.

the NON-F Versions tend to have there Clock Speed a Little Lower but have a GPU in them
The F Versions tend to have there clock Speed Higher but have NO GPU

so it can be confusing as to what is going on.
