Hello Everyone,
I am currently doing research to build an HTPC that I will be hooking up to a slightly older TV and I found that I may run into an issue when trying to do so.
My plan was to get an adapter wire that converts the D-Sub to S-Video, composite, or component. After doing some research apparently this possibly cannot be done with just a wire, you need a separate converter box or a motherboard that supports a VGA D-Sub to TV out.
My goal was to have just a simple setup....
-use the video capability of the Intel CPU
-no video card
-low heat / noise
-use small power supply (pico psu)
-no external parts (converter box)
-no converters plugged into USB ports
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do, in order to accomplish hooking up the HTPC to the television I currently have?
Here is a list of CPU's and MB's I was thinking of....
CPU
Intel i3-2100
Intel i3-2100T
MB (Mini ITX) (couldn't find if these have VGA D-Sub to TV out capabilities)
ASUS P8H61-I (REV 3.0)
Intel BOXDH61DLB3
ASRock H67M-ITX (probably not because reviews are not so good)
GIGABYTE GA-H67N-USB3-B3 (reviews are not so good)
Ports available on the Mini ITX motherboards....
VGA D-Sub Analog
DVI
HDMI
Ports available on my TV....
Composite
Component
S-Video
Thank You for your help
