Is eGPU possible for lenovo ideapad y510p?
Headcrash replied to ashwinsingh8's topic in DIY e-GPU Projects
Ok last try to figure out which connector it is. Did you already compare your Ultrabay connector to a Mini PCI Connector (different to mPCIe)? For me it looks like the connectors would fit perfectly together but i can't measure the Ultrabay connector in my y510p and i just got the dvd drive version. The mini PCI connector is about 5 cm and has 61 pins on one side. As far as i can see the connector in the Ultraybay slot the amount of pins and length of the connector seems pretty samiliar to the Mini PCI connector. -

i am sorry i thought there were not enough pins on the long side of the pcie x8 port. How about taking the long part of a pcie x16 female connector and just glue the little plastic bracket in after 15 pins? -

could you tell me how long the ultrabay connector is? A picture with a Ruler for scale would be perfect. Maybe it works if you use a pcie x16 female connector and cut it after 15 pins so nobody has to buy a gt650/750/755 just to tear it apart for the connector. If you already got the gpu for sli mode a eGPU isn't neccessary in most of the cases. And could you post the link to the pinout of the ultrabay connector? Can't find anything the way you described it. -

Did you try to use a ultrabay connector of a hdd ultrabay extension which are sold for 15$ on ebay and aliexpress? Or the connector of the dvd drive? If you sell the gt650m you could by 10 of these http://hddcaddy.com/en/lenovo-ibm-hdd-caddy/432-lenovo-ideapad-y510p-hdd-caddy.html At least the GT650M is still available http://www.aliexpress.com/item/wholesale-Y400-Y500-extended-graphics-external-drive-bit-graphics-board-lS-8692p/1997081915.html EDIT: Forget anything i just said, according to this thread the ultrabay connector is just an ordinary PCIe x8 connector which can be desolderd from any 20 $ PCIe x8 Riser card. -

Are you sure with the support of 16x?On wiki it says m.2 supports only up to x4. I am interested in an m.2 egpu kit but it depends on the price and i don't need an case for it. Whats the mounting matter with mpcie? Do you just mean the effort of plugging and unplugging while half of the laptop is took apart? I havent tried an eGPU setup yet so i havent any expierences with that.

Hi, I just wanted to know if somebody already tried or is going to try out to connect a PCI-Express GPU via M.2 NGFF Slot. I found this adapter (P14S-P14FP (M.2 to PCIe X2 Edge Extender Board)) but i dont know if it works with the eGPU Setup. M.2 supports PCIe x4 so it should be faster than mPCIe and Expresscard right? Thanks
