INFO: First pics of a AKiTIO Thunder3 DIY eGPU

 

@benjaminlsr presents the first eGPU build with a AKiTiO Thunder3 at https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/forums/topic/10280-intel-nuc6i7kyk-gtx106032gbps-tb3-akitio-thunder3/&do=findComment&comment=149495  quoted below.  Thank you :)

 

Looks to have the same chassis as the AKiTiO Thunder2 with some slight cosmetic differences and of course a TB3 internal board. I would expect the same AKiTiO Thunder2 power and chassis mods can be applied here.

I received the Thunder3 model at 6PM local time. Here it is modded and working at 10PM (including meal time).

 

- Created 8 pins wires coming from barrel plug (4x 12v, 4x GROUND).

- Drilled a 110mm hole.

- Fixed a 120mm fan protection.

Pay attention ! There are stability issues between TB3 (maybe 2 also) and Wifi 2.4Ghz ! If you're egpu is disconnecting randomly, try to use a 5Ghz network and/or ethernet wire.

It works 

Hmm..no issues on my end. Used a 1080 + TB3 HDK (Akitio TB3 PCIe Box) + the Intel 8260. I used this setup for about 5 days, before switching over to M.2.

Well maybe the issue only/mostly appears with small form factor computer (NUC6i7KYK). The issue is realy "gone" since I switched to ethernet and then to 5Ghz.

I've read this information somewhere online on a razer core discussion having disconnection issues.
