Hey everyone! I've had my PC for a while, and I just got a second monitor. I want to connect it to the HDMI output on my motherboard because the other HDMI port is already in use by my current monitor. I've searched online for solutions and even updated my BIOS to the latest version, but I can't find any information. Is there a way to make this work, or do I need to buy a dual HDMI port? Just to give you some context, I have a Gigabyte motherboard (model B560 DS3H AC-Y1, BIOS version F11, ID 8ARKL531) and I'm running an Intel i5-11400F processor. Any help would be appreciated!

Unfortunately, your i5-11400F doesn’t have an integrated GPU, which means you can't use the motherboard HDMI output for additional monitors. You might want to consider using an adapter for your existing GPU's other outputs, like DisplayPort or DVI, to connect the second monitor via HDMI.
Aww, that's too bad! Thanks for explaining this; it saves me a lot of searching.
