Is there a possibility we could start a thread showing our experiences with different TB devices (such as Belkin Thunderbolt express dock) in combination with the Akitio Thunder2 . Would be nice if we could make a list of items that work, items that can be customized to work and things that wont work. Eg. I only got my Apple Thunderbolt -> Ethernet to work by a mistake (works perma now) Thunderbolt is a expensive implementation, so it would be nice to hear experiences first.

I just measured mine with a wattage monitor directly from outlet. KFA2 gtx 970 + dell da 2 standby 0.7w idle 25-40w stock metro LL benchmark 165w to 198w (fluctuating a lot) OC metro LL benchmark 170w to 211w

I live in Denmark, but bought mine from Amazon.de at macconnect - no issues there and fast delivery.

Actually TB is no issue for me for some reason, I can shut down the PC, keep the akitio powered (it shuts down automatically) and start pc, boot directly into windows without any issue. However if I keep my mouse or keyboard plugged in, I recieve the screen with the text: "GNU GRUB Version 2.02~Beta2"

Have anyone figured out how to boot to windows via uefi while usb tems plugged in ?

I'm running some OC benchmarks, so far all stable. http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/7139932?

I hope someone finds a solution for this - it's kinda annoying. Thanks! Yes I saw his nice work, however I wanted a decent plug that could handle a lot of amps, and I had some XT60 laying around. Here are some benchmarks - for some odd reason, It tells me that I have a 4710HQ, when I use a i5-4278U NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4710HQ,Apple Inc. Mac-189A3D4F975D5FFC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4710HQ,Apple Inc. Mac-189A3D4F975D5FFC The benchmarks seems fairly low ?

And the final touch has been done to the product. However - I experience some odd situations. Windows boots into something gpt if I have anything USB connected? WHY ? And If i try to use my Apple thunderbolt-> ethernet adapter, I boot to black screen - It works without the Akitio box. FIXED Let apple nic initialize in boot selection for about a minute

Thanks guys! New update: DA2 mod and Case mod done! All I need now, is only to figure out how to get power inside the case in a fine manner.

I don't live in germany, but bought via Macconnect on Amazon - It went smooth and fairly fast

Hello guys! I decided to make a decent post now - showing my progress so far! Arma 3 inspired case!

Benchmarks Here are some benchmarks - for some odd reason, 3dmark tells me that I have a 4710HQ, when I use a i5-4278U 3dmark13-FS.GPU=10476 3dmark11.GPU=13182 Errors/fails Experienced during the building process After installing Win 8.1 via bootcamp, the Akitio would boot /w a black screen (internal and external) Solution: uEFI mod install required Apple Thunderbolt to ethernet would cause black boot screen when Akitio and ethernet adapter connected ATBN=Apple thunderbolt nic Solution: The ATBN must NOT be connected in the akitio, the ATBN must be connected to the TB2 port closest to the magsafe. Start the PC, open boot selection, wait for about 1.5 minute - start from there.

I don't know how to test it, however it is a Corsair CX430M with a single rail. Should be juice enough for a single gtx 660ti Fuck it - KFA2 gtx 970 bought!

I'm running the card stock - Will the coil whine somehow decrease my hardware survival time ? Or is it just an annoying side effect.

Has anyone experience Coil Whine ? I've got this card, which I do believe has extreme coil whine.

Do anyone here know if coilwine is normal ? I did not get coilwine when this gfx was inside my PC, however I get a loud coilwine in the akitio. At 23 sec - you can hear the benchmark change scene, and the coilwine stopping briefly. And it is NOT the fans that make this noise

Yes - I will make a guide of my mistakes / errors and progress.

It's working flawlessly now - Just tried arma 3 with ultra graphics

Wow! So far - I've booted with screen on, after waiting about 2 minutes in boot menu, and I'm able to install driver now! Seems like Nando4 struck gold! A little bit later ... It's working flawlessly now - Just tried arma 3 with ultra graphics

I will give that a try and reply back! Thanks!

Just tried - still same issue, black screen on both - fan on GPU going mad. It says Guid Partition Table (GPT)

I will give that a try ! Thank you for the fast answer - I will return in about 10 minutes.

PC: Macbook Pro retina 2014 13" i5 - 128 gb ssd. OS: Yosemite 10.10.3 / Win 8.1 Enterprise via. bootcamp. Hardware: Akitio Thunder 2 + molex to DC barrel mod MSI GTX 660TI PE Corsair CX430M Issue: I can find the Aktitio when using OSX, but windows has issues booting. If i let the akitio stay turned on and boots to windows = black screen on monitor and internal screen. If i turn on the akitio when the windows boot logo appears, the internal screen turns on, however I cannot find akitio or the GTX 660ti in the device manager. Neither can i install the nvidia driver (352.86 tried).

Sure! Here you go. http://forum.techinferno.com/provisional-guides/10072-2014-macbook-pro-retina-13-gtx-660ti-akitio-thunder-2-pcie-%5Btb2%5D.html#post134266 It will be edited once the issue is resolved!

I use a MBPr 2014 13" i5 ( the cheapest ) + akitio thunder 2 pcie + GTX 660ti + 430W psu /w DC-barrel mod. Software wise I just use windows 8.1 enterprise via bootcamp. - - - Updated - - - If trying when the "circles are spinning", my mac will boot into windows, with the internal screen, the fans on the gpu will go to normal state, however I can't see the display in device manager, and I can't install nvidia drivers with the error " Nvidia installer cannot continue - This driver could not find compatible hardware"
