Motherboard HDMI Version

My motherboard is the msi z68a-gd65 g3. It has an HDMI port. I have carefully read the user manual, but I cannot find which HDMI version is supported. Is there another way to find out ?

The motherboard was released in may 2011, HDMI 1.4a was released in march 2010 and 1.4b in october 2011. So it may support 1.4a at best.

If this information cannot be found, am I safe using a 2.0b cable ? I've read HDMI is backward compatible with previous versions.

Thank you for your help.

HDMI cables are compatible between the different HDMI port versions, with the only things that differ are the bit depth and resolution/framerate they support (the exception to this are 4K certified cables). If needing new HDMI cables, I always recommend MonoPrice, as they lifetime warranty all their cables, all of which are high quality, yet inexpensive.
