I booted into DIY eGPU Setup 1.30 and 'Reset' the startup.bat (to remove the 'force GEN1' applied earlier), set mbr, ran 36bit compaction, and DID NOT specify a GEN configuration. The process of removing and reinstalling the cable (cable now has some creases but not bad), the cable length is too long and degrades signal quality, or a bad connection by me to start with could be the cause of not achieving stable GEN2.įIX: I switched out the 300mm cable (damaged maybe) with the shorter 200mm (non-manhandled) one and made sure the connections are correct. PROBLEM: I could not get the eGPU to work unless I forced it into GEN1 mode (not the outcome I wanted). The adapter comes with 100mm, 200mm, & 300mm cables I started with the longest. The cable of the PE4C v1.2 seems very delicate and is very thin (like the SSD hard drive cable) and works for my application because I do not want to cut my computer to make another adapter fit (not that I know I would have to, just going off pictures of other adapters).
Every laptop is different and the available ports will determine the equipment used to attach the eGPU to your laptop. Other adapter models (some with cases) are available from Bplus, Bangkook, Sonnet, and VillageTronic among others. Get the right adapter for your specific laptop.

Also, watch some videos like this, this, and this.ī- Buy the appropriate hardware and software.Ĭ- Download and install a graphics driver Uninstaller program to remove old drivers.ĭ- Download the latest drivers for BOTH the laptop and new eGPU.Į- Download and perform a DSDT override if required.į- Install DIY eGPU Setup 1.30 from 'nando4' if required. Steps to perform prior to installation of the eGPU.Ī- Read this and this and this. *NOTE: (the mPCIe is in an awkward location on the G74SX other adapters could work and might require modification to the laptop case).Ĩ- DIY eGPU Setup 1.30 ($25.00 donation required).ĩ-External MonitorĚSUS VN-247 24” LCD, 1920x1080p, 80,000,000:1, 1ms delay.

***You have to keep in mind that this setup will not use the full potential of the new eGPU due to bottlenecks inherent to this method.***Ģ- SYSTEM: ASUS G74SX-TH71, Intel 2670m, nVidia GTX560m, dual SSD's (not stock/not RAID).ģ- RAM: 12GB system 3GB GTX560m (stock).Ĥ- eGPU: ASUS STRIX GTX960 2GB RAM (Others should work).ĥ- nVidia Drivers: 347.52 Desktop & 347.52 Notebook (Most current)/(Need both).Ħ- ATX PSU: Corsair CX750M (Enough to power your eGPU).ħ- Adapter: PE4C-PM3E v1.2 via mPCIe. I can not guarantee it will work for you*** I never noticed the colorful boxes below the large black square were actually very helpful links I just overlooked them)***
***Before trying this make sure you know what you are doing read this carefully (must login to post messages/questions for help. Then I found this solution here by 'nando4'.īasically, I removed the mPCIe Atheros WIFI card and replaced it with an adapter which is powered by an ATX PSU and accepts a full-size x16 PCIexpress video card of your choosing (ASUS of course). But, I quickly found out that the dedicated (discrete) graphics processing unit (dGPU) is soldered onto the motherboard and thus I am not able to upgrade. It's a great laptop for gaming and 3D rendering. Add an eGPU - external graphics processing unit- to your laptop.
