Consider this before purchase Tech Inferno Fan>> I recommend a slightly pricier BPlus PE4C V3.0 over any EXP GDC product as it has no Gen2 expresscard signalling issues when tested on my Dell E6440. The EXP GDC V6 does glitch occasionally with a "NVidia driver has stopped responding" with the manufacturer unwilling to supply an updated Beast product for review. I'm therefore assuming the problem isn't corrected in the newer version. 11-Nov >> Note: Beast product not integrated into purchasing guide below as yet. Comparison: EXP GDC Beast versus V7 (Ares) versus V6 -> Beast is the best!! The "BEAST" edition being the newest unit being that integrates all the desirable features of V6 (excellent connector positions, USB connector) with the best of the V7 (150W DC jack, x2 link support) and adding a new honeycomb acylic enclosure option as well as a new secondary boot delay (CTD - presumably CLKRUN). You'll note that Cloud is offering a Paypal purchase option in his aliexpress (English) store. These being the links of interest: Ê×Ò³-ÊýÂ빤³¡-ÌÔ±¦Íø (Chinese customers or Yoybuy taobao agents) hero cloud's store - Small Orders Online Store, Hot Selling set game card,mini iphone memory card,card reader writer software and more on Aliexpress.com (English/ROW customers) Comparison: EXP GDC V7 (Ares) versus V6 V7 has a 150W rated round DC socket, has a new NGFF.M2 (x2 2.0) adapter option and new enclosure options. V6 has better positioned power connectors AND has the USB port, though USB port has been reported as being flakey. No rating on the round DC socket suggests it's good for 75W slot power. Both use the same (BIG) 8pin jack for the DA-2 220W Dell AC adapter so will have no problems with either V6 or V7. V6 is better for standalone EC/mPCIe use with the 220W Dell DA-2 without an enclosure as gives a tidier cabling layout. The 220W DA-2 can power up to a GTX760/670/680/970/980. A 229W GTX770 could be accomodated if prepared to undervolt/underclock with MSI Afterburner software to get full load stability. V7 would be better if wanting to use say a smaller 150W AC adapter (GTX750Ti/660/970), use a NGFF.M2 PCIe slot, or want the new enclosure option. Why US$83-shipped 0W PE4C V2.1 is better than a US$50-shipped 0W EXP GDC V6? | Why US$134-shipped 220W PE4C V2.1 is better than a US$99-shipped 220W EXP GDC V6? Picture comparison: Download >> PE4CvsEXP + Tech Inferno Fan has found clean Gen2 signalling of the PE4C V2.1, whereas EXP GDC V6 has unreliable glitches + Has a PM4N socketted mPCIe option + BPlus have a history of delivering quality products to the DIY eGPU community. + Easier to purchase with quicker delivery + Has H1PA option -> can connect to a desktop PC to extend the slot + Has a x2 link option, though this is primary for users with 1st gen i-core or older systems. Intel locking down 2nd Gen i-core or newer systems to prevent that. + Has locking x16 slot + Support two delay switch (PCIe Reset Delay and CLKRUN) to avoid registration problems when booting + 0W BPlus offering includes the special PCIe power cable that the EXP GDC V6 0W package does not Why EXP GDC V6/V7s better than PE4C V2.1? + 0W US$50 offering is far more affordable. Their a user sources their own ATX PSU to drive the adapter. + import tax free for some EU countries + Dell DA-2 native input cable -> Customer can buy the PSU locally in their own country -> corrected in PE4C 2.1. It too has a native DA-8 8-pin input. + Rubber protected (re-enforced) mPCIe/EC cable + Very good shape of adapter + V7 has a x2 2.0 NGFF.M2 PCIe connector option + V7 has very stylish enclosure options Disadvantages: - V6 had some quality issues: USB port power, faulty mPCIe/EC cables, PCI Reset Delay faulty on some samples - logistics/delivery/purchase is more complex via Taobao agents like yoybuy - No x2 link option where can combine EC+mPCIe or mPCIe+mPCIe (Series-5 1st gen i-core or older chipsets) -No nasty surprises like crazy import taxes, unlike similar products!

The DA-2 interface has reverse polarity compared to PCIe power interface which means you will be shorting 12V -> GND & GND -> 12V.

HP 2570p ScrollLock and Pause\Break to Home\End keys remap Hello, guys! I owned HP2560p laptop before, and now I am owner of 2570p. Everything is excellent, instead of strange location of Home\End keys (on 2560p they was on Left Arrow \ Right Arrow). So, I wrote small program to change functionality of FN + Left\Right arrow keys. Program also have native functionality of ScrollLock and Pause\Break keys -- just quick click them twice. List of functional hotkeys: Scrolllock = Home Ctrl+Scrolllock = Ctrl+Home Shift+Scrolllock = Shift+Home Ctrl+Shift+Scrolllock = Ctrl+Shift+Home Scrolllock DoublePress = Scrolllock Pause = End Ctrl+Pause = Ctrl+End Shift+Pause = Shift+End Ctrl+Shift+Pause = Ctrl+Shift+End Pause DoublePress = Pause You can download exe or compile it via ahk manually: Scrolllock and pause To HomeEnd.zip You need to set it to autorun. 2 moderator: Please, add link to this post to subject header, it will be usefull for users.

What you are thinking of attempting is no different from the following: Just because a physical connection appears to be RJ-45 doesn't mean it actually carries ethernet. Likewise, just because a physical connection is HDMI doesn't mean the signal is.
