    Setting up 4 monitors failed


    I am setting up a studio and somehow manages to sync 3 monitor. However the 4th is becoming a pain for me to configure. I am using a USB C to VGA. 2 of them are QHD and 1 is 4K and the one not connecting is the one from BenQ22800.


    Monitor 1 - 75hz

    Monitor 2 - 60Hz

    Monitor 3 - 60hz

    Monitor 4 - 144Hz

    :)

    Setting up dual monitor on PC

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand your query related to connecting external monitor to the PC.



    Usually, you will receive an error when connecting external monitor when the cable is not connected properly. I would suggest you to follow the suggestions mentioned in the article

    Troubleshoot external monitor connections in Windows 10    .

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    Hi Liem,

    Based on the description that you provided, there are settings that we need to configure to resolve this concern. However, we need to do some troubleshooting steps to isolate the cause of this issue. Before we proceed, may we know the following:

    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    • Are you getting any error messages when trying to set up dual monitor on the computer? If so, can you send us a screenshot?
