Or if your monitors have DP ports, you may be able to use Displayport daisy chaining. I've gotten daisy chaining to work fairly well in the past on Linux, but there were issues where the second monitor did not sleeping properly, which I was never able to overcome.</p></blockquote>I thought the 3 ports were optional. MB used the port connected. I have DP to HDMI cables. My desktop does not sleep. LCD on 24/7 no blanking so that will not be a problem.<br><div><br></div><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid #1010FF; margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px; color: #000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" data-mce-style="border-left: 2px solid #1010FF; margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px; color: #000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><p>As for the power supply, you can get by with a lower wattage power supply when using the internal graphics. I actually have an Nvidia Gforce 1060 graphics card, which I needed the extra wattage to drive. Don't quote me, but I think the MB itself needed at least 300 Watts, but check the specs to be sure. I would ordinarily check before I post, but I'm running a little late this morning.</p></blockquote><div><br></div><div>A lot more than what I'm running now. I am using J1900 hardware that runs of a 12v power supply. Standard UPS with 7Ah battery can keep it up 30 minutes or so without power.<br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br></div></div></div></body></html>
