No HDMI output on the motherboard

[Monk3003]

Hi,
So I haven't bothered with trying to fix this before since I anyway mostly is running headless and when I needed I been using a external graphic card to get a output from the server.
Now actually thinking of getting more hard drives I would need the PCI slot for that reason.

So my question is can I get the internal HDMI output to work and how can I solve it?

My set-up is in the signature.

Many thanks!

If I understand correctly. Your CPU does not have onboard graphics therefore the onboard HDMI will do nothing

But do you really need a graphics card to run TrueNAS? (no you don't)

You are correct it seems.
So then I think I will invest in another CPU then and sell the used one then.

So quick look would this be a good replacment of the CPU
AMD Ryzen 5 5600G

No that is true, but I want to be able to connect if it goes sideways using a PiKVM and would then need a HDMI output that is working.

I managed to fill up my boot partition and didn't have physical access to the server and finally got it up and running again.

One of many reasons it is not a good idea to stray from server hardware.

From my understanding of AMD Hardware - yes that would be correct. The 'G' indicating an iGPU.
