Hi all! PE4C V2 is not available as of the moment and will be relaunched on Q4 2014, I think I have to go with this setup. Just a question, since it comes with a 220 watt power supply, can I use an R9 270X which peaks usage at 280 Watts but on paper it has a TDP of 180W, what will happen to GPU performance if bootlenecked by power source? Will it turn off to compensate or cause blue screens on Windows 8.1? I don't want to risk any hardware since I am in tight budget these days and sorry to sound so dumb on these power consumption, TDPs, and whatnot but I really wanted to run at least this GPUs 280X or 270X and will go to my future desktop rig if the EXP GDC V6.0 could not handle such. I don't want to use an NVIDIA GPU by the way.

Wow such priceless setup and effort buddy! Perhaps a video would make this project more desirable of the people who does not know yet such setup can and could exist! Just a dream to me...

Hey thanks Tech Inferno Fan! I will probably wait for the PE4C V2.1, they responded (bplus tech sales) and told me they are planning to release on Q4 2014, so I guess we can still give suggestions for redesigns for the upcoming version to bring improvements and more feasibility too cause they are listening to us! I will probably start to build a small form factor PC as of this moment then. I hope us all to have more options in the future especially that thunderbolt 2 platform being held back by intel..

Hey mate, I sent an e-mail to the sales team asking them about the availability of this product PE4C PM100C V2.0 and I did not get a respond yet, hopefully by tommorow on a Monday. Is it really out of stock or pulled out of sale? I read you made a post somewhere that they are having an upcoming revision release, can you comment on this? and the supplied AC adapter is only 180 watts not 220W or 240W? I would like to use at least an R9 280X or the least 270X without using a separate PSU. Otherwise, I will just build myself a SFF gaming PC (silverstonetek ML07 or raven RVZ01+600W SFF PSU+R9 290X+AMD APU) if these things will be further delayed. I finally understood the whole picture of this amazing adventure you started and even signed on that petition for Intel to let ASUS sell XG 2 station to consumers. Can't wait to get my hands on the necessary hardware and that setup 1.30 software of yours, my $25 bucks is ready though.

Hey don't mean to hi jack the thread but I have the same brand of laptop, different model though from the cheapy G series, I would like to know too how to overclock this thing.. PM sent to Khenglish

Wow that is one comprehensive review on that PE4C setup I am looking to build as only now I quite understood all that is required to start off with this experiment! Thanks buddy! The way I see it I will be doing the same ways that you have demoed and setup. Thank God the PE4C V2.0 is such a beauty to miss, I will get all things gathered hopefully in the coming months. Can you do us a favor? Do you mind posting images of your setup mate? Regards, Jes

Yes I think it will wok just go with setup 1.1 and use DDU uninstaller and you're good to go! Good luck buddy! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sir Tech Inferno Fan thank you very much for your reply ol eGPU GURU! But I did not undestand your first statement because its quite contradictory you mean I could not do an eGPU setup? But I have asked from the lenovo supprt site regarding utilization of the mPCIE port (only one by the way) currently occupied by my wlan card to be replaced with a half height mini pcie SSD for OS booting purposes and one rep told me yes I SSD can be utilized as pictured, its not supported? So if you meant that I can do this setup, you recommend me to use the PE4L-2.1B? Yes these DIY setups can really cost an arm and a leg for me, I am still thinking of building a mini ITX gaming PC at the moment but needed to make sure If I can do all these rocket science tinkering stuff that you guys are doing LOL

Im glad that software helped you out, but did you make sure you really uninstalled all the graphics driver in safe mode and rebooted? Which AMD drivers did you use? Here is the latest one; 14.3 beta V1.0 AMD Catalyst 14.2 Beta Driver for Windows Man can you post videos or captured videos of your setup and gameplay if you won't mind? Good luck mate! Still contemplating of starting this project or to proceed building a mini ITX gaming PC

Whoah nice please post logs dude ASAP and how BF4 plays now! Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

Did you use the DDU uninstaller to properly uninstall graphics driver AMD or Nvidia? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I read that somewhere here maybe windows will auto detect and use the intel hd drivers or maybe it was not totally disabled? Do you have intel hd + nvidia graphics on your laptop? Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

Hi All, Hey hi, I am a newbie here, I was a member of that notebook review forums too and was surprised why everything is here when it was in NBR site back then (eGPU experiences). After nearly 3 years of reading and lurking in this topic in awe and wanting to have this project I realized nowadays I can afford to start a PC build but last January bought myself a; Lenovo G500 i5 3230M+AMD radeon 8750M 1GB+intel hd 4000 1GB, windows 8.1 Before I want to get started with a mini ATX gaming PC build, I want to try this eGPU experience so here goes; So I was reading a little bit of the information and now I am confused as to what setup should I follow, is it the 1.0 or 2.0? my PCIE version is the 3.0 by the way. Do I need the PE4H or PE4L? I understand that I need to have the end in half height mini PCIE (PM060A)and I want to use an AMD R9 270X, The part where I don't understand is why the adapters are so expensive that it is easy to mass produce these PCB custom adapters. I confirmed from a lenovo support site that my half mini pcie slot can take an SSD so theoretically it can take an eGPU also am I right? from that site; Re: G500 half mini PCIE ssd?? Options ‎01-03-2014 07:54 AM hi jcagara08, Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums! I believe this will work as the miniPCIE in your system supports Data signaling for both WLAN and SSD. It should be detected right away once rebooted. Replacing HDD with SSD. If your Operating System is Above Windows 8, you wont have an option to create Recovery CD using the One key Recovery, I may suggest using Paragon Backup & Recovery 12 Home (free trial) and use the Migrate option (see this thread). Regards Solid Cruver and here's my mPCIE slot; Also I want to use this to prevent spaghetti wire setup, can I change the end of this to PM060A or does this enclosure take only VGA cards and not PCIE 16x GPUs?

Awesome post now I can start to build by way on how you did it. Was looking forward to have an r9 270x build mini tax PC but I wanted to try this eGPU setup first. Excited to see some of your BF4 footage man I am crazy bout it always playing TDM btw Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
