Hello everyone, today I'm going to list you all the steps I made to do an eGPU, with a MSI gaming notebook. These are my features:
MSI GE-60
I7 4700hq HM86
8 Ram
igpu 4600hd
dgpu Gtx 860m 2gb
egpu PHANTOM Gtx 970 4gb
PE4c 2.1 (mpcie)
Power SUpplY 550w.
At first, I had Windows 8.1 64bit, but I had some problems when I selected "disable dgpu" and it always gave me the same error: "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE" so I decided to install Windows 7, infact I had no more problems and it went smoothly. So, I formatted my Hardisk on MBR format, to hold setup 1.3, then I linked the mpcie PM100C cable to the notebook wlan port and I run setup. This is what I've done step by step:
1.Setup 1.3 (Tech Inferno Fan)
2.Set port with eGPU to GEN 2
3.Endpoint set 3.8x gb from 4.0x
4.disable dgpu
5.ignore dgpu
6.compaction IGPU + eGPU
7.Chainload - test run(MBR) to win These are scores reached:
