  1. Hi everyone, this is my first post here so I hope I'm in the right forum... I have a Gigabyte Brix Pro mini PC (like a NUC), with a core i7 CPU and 16gb of RAM, running Windows 10. The device is here: GIGABYTE - Desktop PC - Mini-PC Barebone - GB-BXi7-4770R (rev. 1.0) and here is a picture of the internals: http://media.bestofmicro.com/S/O/413160/original/Brix-inside.jpg I'd like to improve the gaming performance with a better GPU so I was considering a PE4C eGPU adapter plus a NVidia GTX960. I read through all the forums but I couldn't find anyone who has successfully (or otherwise) done an eGPU setup on a Brix, NUC or other small format desktop PC (i.e. not a laptop). The device has a mini-PCI-E port and I'm not using the wifi card so I can remove it, but before I go ahead and spend the money on kit can anyone help with any of these questions? (BTW, I did contact gigabyte support and asked them about mPCIE whitelisting but their response was vague, only saying that they would guarantee the WiFI card works in the mPCIE and wouldn't guarantee any other card). - Is there anyone out there who has made eGPU work on a mini desktop PC? - Do gigabyte normally implement mPCIE whitelists in their BIOS? (Aptio/AMI BIOS) - I have read that large amounts of memory causes problems. I have 16GB of RAM, will this stop it working? - My Windows 10 boots up using UEFI/GPT, is this going to be a problem? Guys, if you can offer ANY insight at all into this I would be REALLY, REALLY grateful! Thank you !!!!!
