So I bought a video card that does not fit into my computers slot. (sorry about the terminolgy, or lack there of of)But I do have a VGA out that is at 60 KHZ. So I slpiced my VGA cable and my Wells K7000 series cable together and now at least see some color change on the arcade monitor but there it is still just a garbled mess even when I play with the adjustments. My question is, I know I can't run the monitor at 60khz for to long or the monitor goes pop, But to test my cable shouldn't I at least being seeing some semblance of a picture, or does it HAVE to be output at 15khz? Thanks guys! |

An easy way to test your cable is to download Powerstrip and try the arcade preset or similar 480i modes. You can find the specifications for a Wells Gardner K7000 series at Happ.com According to that, you need to keep your horizontal sync between 15-25 KHz. 60KHz is too much keep your Vsync between 47 - 63 Hz. Powerstrip comes with plenty of documentation/help files, but there is a step by step write up here to make it easier. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=43728.0 |

60 khz into a monitor designed only for 15 khz---what are you trying to do start a fire? ::) |

Not only that but I hope you like a lot of very expensive monitor repairs!! If you've got a 15Khz Monitor then feed it 15Khz...... Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |

LOL, No i do not want to start a fire! When I spliced my Vga cord there was a ton of different color wires. Red, Red with White stripe, so on and so forth... I just wanted to see if I put the right wires together until I get a comp that can handle my video card... I guess patience is a virtue :( |
