Hi all,
I really need some help here as I have scoured various forums but can't find any answers. I am actually going to purchase the parts in the next few days. My main purpose is more to multi-task, with a 3-4 monitor display. I do not require an extended desktop or eyeinfinity sort of setup as I am happy with 3 monitors displaying 3 different stuff. Here is my planned setup:
CPU: A10-5800k
MOBO: ASRock FM2A85X Extreme 6
RAM: 2x Kingston DDR3 4GB Ram
HD: Western Digital 500GB
PSU: Seasonic 1211 520
ATX: Antec One
Drive: Samsung DVD Writer
1. I read that the mobo says it "Supports Triple Monitor" on the site. So can I use the 3 of the following outputs: DVI-D, HDMI and DisplayPort and kickstart 3 monitors just powered by the A10 iGPU HD7660D?
2. I know inserting a graphic card into the mobo, it will disable the iGPU. Is there anyway I can change in BIOS such that I can use 2 ports from the iGPU and 2 from the GPU? I read that some could do it with previous ASRock z67 mobo.
3. Since the mobo has three PCIe2.0x16 slots, can i insert 3 different cards for minimum 6 displays in future?
4. Will the above 3 questions pose the same problems with ASRock Z77 Extreme 3 + i3 3220?
5. If all above fails, looks like I will need to go for ASRock 970 Extreme 4 + FX 6100 combination with two graphics cards. Will you prefer the A10 or FX6100 combi?
Thanks all for the help! I really hope I can have some answers before going ahead with one of the 3 builds!
