İs Using 2 thunderbolt cable at the same time make any difference for akitio?
no

Because I didn't follow the the latest developments for the OSX script...
What is the current way to install a eGPU in OSX? Since the script from @goalque is discontinued, what is the alternative? I guess the script should still work for OSX 10.9-10.11, right?

This thing ...
MacBook Pro and macOS 10.12 with external GPU and external screen, but I don't wanna use another display device, I want play games with eGPU and display by MacBook Pro's retina screen.
Only in windows!
-
2 cards would only make sense for rendering apps. Don't consider it for games. Any normal gpu calculation app will work very well with the TB2 bandwidth.
-
To me bottlenecks appeared only in benchmarks by lower scores and in games with lower fps!
The problems you are describing seem to be CPU related. My guess would be that the CPU will down clock in stressful situations and create a performance drop. Make sure your CPU boost is limited to 3GHz, turn off every CPU hungry app, lift the MacBook a bit up to provide optimal cooling and try lowering your CPU voltage with intel xtu (doesn't work on all MacBooks)

Quick question, I just saw this cable on ebay... Would this work?
That looks perfect!

I had 5 different 970 one 980Ti and now a1080. All had coil whine/buzzing. Even high end PSUs will not help.
The Problem are the coils on the GPUs.

GTX 9x0 and 10x0 cards will create buzzing on the card or PSU very often.
unfortunately this is normal

@Dschijn So The setup I was using both is and was working just fine. The problem is I cannot Update to any of the newest Nvidia Drivers. Every time I do no matter what I get error 43 {" Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"}. This is on both 372.90 and the newest 373.06. I end up rolling back to 372.70. I have tried only installing the graphics driver and nothing still. My Question is; Is there a fix or workaround for error 43 to allow me to update the drivers?
Try ans install the latest Intel graphics driver as well.

Thanks Dschijn! I feel pretty confident I can get this cable done myself, after a bit more reading..
Do I understand your previous post correctly? You would get the 8pin extension and solder the remote pin to ground so you don't have to do the paperclip trick or is there another reason for it?
Right now I would order:
Dell DA2 brick (already on its way)
1x Y-splitter 6pin
1x 6pin to low profile 6pin
Then I simply force the female 6pin onto the 8pin Dell DA2 (making sure I leave the correct two male pins untouched), one 6 pin male to the 1060 mini and the other one I cut and solder to a barrel plug. Then, I would use a paperclip to connect remote to ground.
Does that make sense to you?
Yes remote to ground!
make sure the 6pin gets 3x ground an 3x 12v. I would also recommend to bundle all 12v to one join point and split them to the required 3 pins. Same for ground. So you can spread the load evenly.

Hey @Granty the idea to get the 1060 Mini sounds good to me. Have you already put it to work?
Let's hope the 1060 will be supported soon in OSX. It looks like with the recent addition of CUDA pascal for OSX the webdrivers might be around the corner! https://goo.gl/CQbKvR
I'm a bit scared of getting the DA2 cable right so I was wondering if @Dschijn you could make one for me as well?
I live in Canada, but could have it shipped to my parents in Germany. How much would you charge for that?
Cable is no problem, but I am currently on vacation and a cable would be ready in 3 weeks. Just PM me
-
They are available in Germany... I didn't find any in the US

You will need a riser angled to the right. Sth. like the DeLock 41914 and also a flexible riser.
Take a look at my build (last picture):

We shrunk it enough that there is still enough room for the pipes and a radiator in the front.
That sounds interesting. Are talking about radiators for watercooled GPUs?
-
You should power the eGPU trough it's 8-Pin and the barrel plug from one PSU.

as expected...
QuoteHello everyone,
We want to start by saying how much we appreciate all of our backers. Your enthusiasm has proven to the world that our shared vision for the Wolfe can become a reality.
We’re writing today to share some important news: we are going to be cancelling our Kickstarter campaign, and refunding your pledges in full. Our success has attracted the attention of some big players in the industry, who recently reached out to us about the Wolfe. Through these conversations, it became clear there would be some uncertainty in attaining the product certifications essential for the Thunderbolt 2 (and thus macOS) versions of the Wolfe.
We decided it wouldn’t be right to accept pledges from you, our earliest supporters, with these new developments and changes to our timeline. However, these factors will allow us to bring you an even better product in the near future as we work with our new partners in the industry. We are incredibly excited about the next steps for the Wolfe, and the future of this Kickstarter community.
Thank you for an amazing campaign. We’ll be back.
Sincerely,
The Wolfepack-

Good job AKiTiO!
Looks way better than the pink/purple thing you did show before ^^

You need a 12V PSU, the one you linked has 19.5V.
There are not a lot of 12V PSUs, since 19.5V PSU are more efficient and more common on the market.
Check for guides with similar GPUs, if they made it work with only powering the setuep through the barrel plug.
Regarding the 4k... please ask goalque here if 4k would work, because I think 4k capability is linked to the Mac Version. Especially 4k@60Hz might be tricky.

AFAIK he is making a living from rendering and is using an eGPU for accelerating his work flow. (One man company)
He is just worried you might sue him.

I am sell my renderings for use in ads. So, my renderings are clearly for commercial purposes. In this case I may not use Your script.
But I need a script like this to do my daily work. Is is possible to buy a license for commercial purposes? Where can I buy it? And how much is it?
I am very certain that is not what he meant!
As long as you are not going to release your own commercial eGPU like Bizon/Kickstarter you are fine

Hi, I would recomend to use these parts:
if you can't or don't want to solder use the one with the screw terminals you linked.
My current approach would be to get a 8-pin PCIe extension and solder the 7th pin remote pin to a ground cable.
Use a 6-pin PCIe splitter to get two 6-pins out of the 6 useable pins of the 8-pin extension (6-pin to 2x6-pin splitter if possible).
If you want to close the GPU in the AKiTiO without cutting the top, you will need a angled 6-pin. Only available in the US:
If you need help making a cable, I could solder you one. Already made a lot of AKiTiO cables.
But I strongly recommend to get the angled 6-pin from the US or use a regular one and cut the case!

If I have Y cables splitting the power into barrel connector + 2x6-pin pcie, but ONLY connect the barrel to the Akitio...am I necessarily sending 220W straight to the Akitio? IE is it generally unsafe to test these 2-way split solutions without getting the card in there and testing all under load?
You will be fine, just connect the power to the AKiTiO without an GPU, connect the Thunderbolt cable and see if it works.

I could help. What do you have in mind?
