  1. That is the installation guide I used and I can get into windows, but I keep running into an "black screen" error having to do with the video drivers when I try to install the support software. From everything I've read, it's got something to do with the igdkmd64.sys driver for the HD4000, and only happens when I either install the bootcamp driver package (not individually) or the nVidia drivers. If I remove igdkmd64.sys and nvlddmkm.sys from the drivers folder, the system will boot, but it leaves me with little graphics support... I haven;t read anything which describes the nVidia drivers causing a problem so is this something new, or am I just not properly eliminating the HD4000 drivers? I did, and I got win8 to boot, but now I'm just trying to be able to get the drivers straight... What did you do on your computer? Did you have problems installing nVidia drivers?
  2. Awesome setup! Looks clean too Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  3. Oripash, any changes to your install guide? Can the installation be done without rEFIt/rEFInd? Thanks for making it so complete, how do the new bootcamp drivers work?
  4. Does anyone here have a link to an updated guide on how to reinstall win8 with EFI? The only ones I've found have been using rEFIt (Opirash's) or swapping hard drives... Is there a way to do it with just bootcamp?
  5. No, that PCIe-PCIe part is the secret sauce in Sonnet's setup and unfortunately quite necessary The second riser hasn't seemed to be a problem so far, though i am having issues with my GTX770 and this new TB2 card so I'll try taking it out and seeing if it works better.
  6. So I'm seeing people being able to load windows 8.1 with EFI on macbooks now (Yay!), and that it will allow native thunderbolt support in windows... but I'm not seeing any updated guides on how to do reinstall win8.1 to get EFI, and what problems arise... Has anyone done this recently, and can they recommend a tutorial/guide?
  7. So I could really use some help here... First, my setup: OS: Window 8.1 in MBR System: 2012 MacBook Pro Retina 15" RAM: 16GB GPU: EVGA GTX770 PSU: Corsair AX860i (that should be plenty huge) Setup: Sonnet Echo SE II I had the setup working with the original thunderbolt card which came with the Sonnet, and then I upgraded to a thunderbolt 2 card during Sonnet's switchover program.Then, no luck... I've tried an old R4550 AMD card and it works, but the nVidia GTX770 doesn't. I don't change the pci.bat or startup.bat between the 2 TB cards. Here's my pci.bat for reference: REM r:/core/compact.exe pciend f8000000 import devcon.txt makebatch R:\config\pci.bat REM created Sun Jan 26 21:59:26 2014 echo off echo Performing PCI allocation for 2012 13" MBPr based off Tech Inferno Fan's findings . . . :: The X16 root port @echo -s 0:1.1 1c.w=6030 20.l=AE90A090 24.l=CDF1AEA1 > setpci.arg :: Underlying Bridges in order from high to low @echo -s 4:0.0 1c.w=5131 20.l=AB00A090 24.l=C9F1B801 >> setpci.arg @echo -s 5:3.0 1c.w=4131 20.l=A700A200 24.l=C5F1B801 >> setpci.arg @echo -s 7:0.0 04.w=7 1c.w=3131 20.l=A300A200 24.l=C1F1B801 28.l=0 30.w=0 3c.b=10 >> setpci.arg @echo -s 8:3.0 04.w=7 1c.w=3131 20.l=A300A200 24.l=C1F1B801 28.l=0 30.w=0 3c.b=10 >> setpci.arg :: The NVidia eGPU @echo -s 9:0.0 04.w=400 0C.b=20 24.w=3F81 10.l=A2000000 14.l=B8000000 1C.l=C0000000 3C.b=10 50.b=1 88.w=140 >> setpci.arg setpci @setpci.arg set pci_written=yes Since the AMD card works, I've effectively troubleshot everything from the card to the computer, and I tested the GTX770 in a desktop and it works, so it's just down to the pci.bat/startup.bat. On nando's advice, I tried changing the root port (see below), but that didn't work either... :: The X16 root port @echo -s 0:1.0 1c.w=6030 20.l=AE90A090 24.l=CDF1AEA1 > setpci.arg Anyone else having issues with nVidia/Sonnet SE II combos? Is there something about nVidia cards I'm missing? What else can I try? Thanks to anyone who can help...
  8. I just tested a small fanless r4550 card without a modified riser and it didn't work. I'm thinking it's a pin 8 problem, and that would mean having to add a reset into the circuit. But this might be because I'm running in MBR, and not EFI. Can anyone corroborate this? Would this work with a win8.1 EFI installation?
  9. I used an Arduino for my delay; an adafruit Trinket and a 2N3904 transistor on a cheap little breadboard should do nicely... I used an Uno in my project because I had one available, but the Trinket's are cheaper. Here's a link to my setup, enjoy
  10. More or less bumping this... Knowing that the AMD card popped up in the eGPU setup, and that the GTX 770 works perfectly fine on another computer, I figure it has to be something with the startup sequence. I'm wondering if it's a pin 8 problem since that was not added to my delay circuit. I'm sortof just stabbing in the dark right now... I'm taking the setup over to a friend's place tomorrow since he has a handful of video cards to try out
  11. So I've been poking at this for a few days and now I'm more confused than ever... I got an old AMD 4550 series card to work immediately with my setup and got the GTX770 card which was in the eGPU to work in an old desktop PC, but I can't get the GTX770 to work in eGPU. I didn't change any settings in the startup routine since I got the new thunderbolt 2 card from Sonnet, and the GTX770 card worked fine with the old the thunderbolt 1 card. I've taken my timer setup out of the loop, but no change. Any ideas? What should I be looking for? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  12. Just tried it no avail. Do you think changing the original pci.bat file from 0:1.0 might work? Also is there any diagnostic stuff I can run that might help?
  13. I had the chance to upgrade from a TB1 to a TB2 with Sonnet's big swapover program, and since I'll probably be upgrading to a laptop with a TB2 port on it next, it seemed prudent... I'm still using a TB1 cable. Do you think that could be the cause? I know the TB2 setup can atleast see the TB1 port on the laptop as the LEDs light up when I turn the laptop on. Here is the pci.bat I've been using: REM r:/core/compact.exe pciend f8000000 import devcon.txt makebatch R:\config\pci.batREM created Sun Jan 26 21:59:26 2014 echo off echo Performing PCI allocation for 2012 13" MBPr based off Tech Inferno Fan's findings . . . :: The X16 root port @echo -s 0:1.1 1c.w=6030 20.l=AE90A090 24.l=CDF1AEA1 > setpci.arg :: Underlying Bridges in order from high to low @echo -s 4:0.0 1c.w=5131 20.l=AB00A090 24.l=C9F1B801 >> setpci.arg @echo -s 5:3.0 1c.w=4131 20.l=A700A200 24.l=C5F1B801 >> setpci.arg @echo -s 7:0.0 04.w=7 1c.w=3131 20.l=A300A200 24.l=C1F1B801 28.l=0 30.w=0 3c.b=10 >> setpci.arg @echo -s 8:3.0 04.w=7 1c.w=3131 20.l=A300A200 24.l=C1F1B801 28.l=0 30.w=0 3c.b=10 >> setpci.arg :: The NVidia eGPU @echo -s 9:0.0 04.w=400 0C.b=20 24.w=3F81 10.l=A2000000 14.l=B8000000 1C.l=C0000000 3C.b=10 50.b=1 88.w=140 >> setpci.arg setpci @setpci.arg set pci_written=yes It's right out of Strandmatte's guide and worked when I had the original TB1 card.

  14. I thought TB2 was supposed to be backwards compatible? But TB2 devices should be able to be used with an Ivy Bridge laptop... ?
  15. Looks like you're using a laptop equipped with TB2 though... maybe that's the problem... How did you do your setup if you don't mind me asking? Did you follow one of Strandmatte's or Shelltoe's (or someone elses) guides?
