You can replace the stock cooler with a compatible one, but it has to be no taller than 160mm.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just get a converter cable from DVI d or disp port to hdmi if that’s the only input you have. And it says don’t hook the display up there because those ports are off the motherboard, not the graphics card, so your pc won’t pick it up, unless you tweak the bios accordingly but that would disable the GC and it would be very poor performance. Like I said all you need is a converter cable, and be sure it’s an ACTIVE cable, not a PASSIVE one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thanks for reaching out Acehead. If the CPU cooler is compatible, you are more than welcomed to replace it. However, keep in mind, the warranty may only cover the original parts that came with the PC. As for the dual monitors, you will need to use the ports on your video card. If you only have 1 HDMI port, you will need to use either the DVI or DisplayPort.
