So its basically identical, well i just removed that part but its some PEG port thing so it can't be that necessary . Good luck. dsdt.zip

If the above dsl file was not the original then send me the original acpidump. .

Hi, i just gave it a shoot and fixed the syntax error but i cannot tell you that i changed the variables correct so hope this section is unused and you don't get blue screen: (line:7422) If (\_SB.PCI0.LPC.EC.ASBF == One) { OperationRegion (AMSA, SystemMemory, \_SB.PCI0.RP09.PEGP.BADR, 0x00010000) Field (AMSA, AnyAcc, NoLock, Preserve) { Offset (0x53F0), ASBT, 8 } If (\_SB.PCI0.RP09.PEGP.BADR (0xFFFFFFFF) != AMSA) { If (ASBT != 0x83) { ASBT = 0x83 } } }

You should hop into the mPCIe/EC troubleshooting thread and read the first post and the comments.

Make sure testsigning is enabled (run this command as admin and then reboot): bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

Don't forget that optimus PCIe data compression is only available on x1 link.

You don't need to disable the intel igp, install it's drivers to. Try to sleep (not hibernate) / wake the computer with the delay switch turned on and search for hardware changes in the device manager when it comes back plus ~10sec (delay expires, fans starts to spin). Keep try it until the card shows up without error (not forever but at least 10-15 times). If it is still err43 after so many tries then i have no other idea. sleep wake wait until the egpu fan starts or the LED on the adapter turns off (~10sec) search for hardware changes if still error, back to step1 and repeat Magic tip, try to put the components far away from each other psu-egpu-notebook.

I don't know, i bought it almost a year ago when this fancy order page didn't existed and he replied via email. For the second part, you can't do it without the program, if you still get error code 12 after dsdt then windows is just stupid and you have to allocate the space before windows loads.

Black Screen: There is a delay switch on the adapter to prevent bios hangs while egpu is connected (black screen or bios logo hang). If it still hangs then try to set the delay to max and isolate pin22(PERST#) on the mpcie connector (and always do shutdown/power on instead of restart). The port can be whitelisted but asus don't really do such things. If it has whitelist then setup1.3 can solve it or just hotswap what you already did. Card showed up: You said the device shows up on hotswap but you didn't give us any info about the error. If there is an exclamation mark next to the egpu just open it and read the description. Error 12 means not enough free resources => PCI compaction with setup1.3 or DSDT override or dsdt+pci compaction will solve it. Error 43 means the driver has some issues to start the egpu => DDU, reinstall drivers, check PSU, sleep/wake then search for hardware changes after the adapter delay expires, etc. (that's a tricky error)

Yes, but you can find a similar implementation here so just check it out.

Update: i just put the atx psu as far as possible from the egpu and it solved the problem so there is some interference happening between those guys. Probably a metal case could shield them but i don't care enough to start building cases.

Nothing to suggest here, it says @2.0 so you are good. The internal screen performance drop is normal, it is pretty costy to copy back all the frames on a x1 link.

It is backward compatible, you can put a 3.0 card into a gen2 slot, it will run on gen2 speed.

2) nope, if you are using your internal screen the egpu has to send back all the frames to your igp. Just make sure your egpu runs on gen2 speed(x1.2) and then you are good. You can check it with GPU-Z by clicking on the "?" next to the Bus Interface box.

dc-dc converter arrived and the same shit happens, its not that sensitive now at least but still crashes. Plugging in a random 120w notebook charger still kills it almost all the time.

But if you are using your buit-in monitor the egpu needs to copy back all the frames to your igp via the x1 link and thats another minus -10-20% depending on how havily taxing the game the pcie link.

I'm using a radeon card and my dgpu (gt550m) is disabled so i don't think so.

Hi. If i were you i just unlock my bios and set the TOLUD value to fix 2.25gb and disable the dgpu. Then you can forget about dsdt override. After that just reinstall windows because you probably get ACPI_BIOS_ERROR if you modify your TOLUD, at least thats what happend on my N53SN. Pin22 isolation only needs if your bios hangs at startup on every delay settings(motherboard forces #PERST instantly). So in the end my system only needs PIN22+PCI compaction with setup1x to work with the eGPU. Your bios modding needs the exact same steps(N53S and N55S and N550JV bioses are almost identical), so you can just do the exact same steps with your bios file, and yes i checked it before i sent you this message but only flash it with your own risk [N55SFAS_207_unlocked.rom] and i strongly recommend to do the steps yourself and not just download and yolo what i linked. For last word you will unlock bunch of new options and you can set up these new setting wrong (for example: don't disable the igp) causing black screen upon boot --> CMOS reset helps. But if you just play with the settings what you need then you are good.

Funny part is running dota2 in the background(windowed with engine_no_focus_sleep "0") while browsing almost ~100% solves this issue. Btw i'm still waiting for the converter, but i can confirm running from battery without the charger helps nothing... So we need some electrician expert here who has idea what is going on. Usually when these crashes happen the gpu fans stops spinnig(system freezes) but sometimes just black screen and freeze or black screen and music continues.

You can find the cable in your beast package: http://www.banggood.com/6-PIN-Graphics-Card-Cable-for-EXP-GDC-Beast-Laptop-External-Independent-Video-Card-Dock-p-1032795.html and connect it like this:

Yes, optimus will work and performance hit still apply. You will have x1.2opt means 1 lane with gen2 speed with optimus compression. You will get somewhere between 9-10k overall score (~11k graphics) with a gtx970 in firestrike using an external monitor.

From ebay [link], but nothing guarantees it will solve anything.

Yes, im using a coolermaster 550w atx psu and right now waiting for dcdc converter shipping(2-3 weeks).
