hello guys
i hav install my display card and everything is working fine.
the display card is MSI N9600GT.

now i want to use the HDMI output.
in order to do that,i must connect a connector to the mainboard.
from the manual,it state that at the mainboard one end is connected to the SPDIF pin and the other is connected to the ground pin.
i can see the SPDIF pin on the mainboard and there are 9 pin there.
pin 7 and 8 is ground.my question is, to which pin should the other cable connected to?

i cannot find the answer in the manual.the manual did mention improper connection will cause damage to the display card and this is something i cannot afford.

Wah... nice card you got. smile_cool.gif I thought SPDIF is sound related? What do you mean by pin 7-8 is ground? By jumper ar? The cable you've mention, is how many hole female connector? smile_question.gif
Ram me if you can!

This is the card you having right ?


The answer actually can be found in MSI website itself....you just need to know how to google smile_big.gif

Anyway, you need a DVI to HDMI output cable (dunno the price but i guess not cheap)

SF,
its the best value for money for my current affordability.
i also dunno what the SPDIF is for.the manual just said to connect it there.
there are 9 pin on the SPDIF pins.pin 7 and 8 are ground by itself,no jumper.

there is only 2 cable to be connected.orange and black.
the package already include a DVI to HDMI converter.i only hac to buy HDMI cable which i havent do so.
i've tried MSI site but sill cannot find.
maybe i dont try har enough.
