For programming the kernel, I keep getting an error message when booting up my computer. Which thread should I go to ask about this. Error reads as follows: GNU GRUB version 2.02~beta2 Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions grub> ***So I am assuming that this is just an error in code. But I would like to know who to ask or which thread to follow for the answer thank you.

Dschijn, So I got all my supplies together today and I noticed that the splitter and the power cable that comes off the fans are two different sizes, the fan I bought is the NF-A9x14 I linked previously, is there a fix to this problem like an adapter, or did I get the wrong fans. Side note: the splitter you linked fits perfectly on the graphics card so now I just need the fans to plug it into. Thank you.

Dschjin, I have finished my eGPU and have been playing games flawlessly on them. I want to follow the same exact build you have minus a few electrical things but I am just wondering on the fans for the side of the case. I am just wondering which of these fans will work, if I order two of them, http://www.amazon.com/Noctua-Ultra-Silent-140mm-NF-P14/dp/B002XISTXM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608031 and if they do work, if this wire would work as well to connect them to the graphics card. http://www.moddiy.com/products/4%252dPin-PWM-Fan-Connector-(Male)-to-4%252dPin-Mini-GPU-Fan-Connector-(Female).html http://www.amazon.com/OKGEAR-n-a-140mm-Chrome/dp/B0012UWHYY/ref=pd_sim_147_5?ie=UTF8&dpID=41EneBlsqDL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1A1BT0MG96HJTE4E9X2W I want to make cuts on the case, but I want to make sure I have all the parts I need. Please let me know if you have any advice. Thank you.

I just want to confirm before purchasing questions

What did you use to cut the metal? I do not think I will need to replace my GPU fans, but I will see when I hook it all up. I am also having some trouble finding some 90-degree 6 pin PCIe cables in the US. -

So the front fan case from the Akitio? And will that be enough ventiliation. Yes, I plan on making that barrell plug. So should I have to remove anything from the actual Akitio case, because on your guide it says you are using a riser and different things that I know I am not using(since you used an actual desktop case to house all your equipment.) -

So that would mean I would need an external? I was reading through your guide that you just linked(amazing build BTW) and I was just wondering I know I will need some 90-degree 6 pin PCIe cables, but as long as I remove the fan case from the Zotac GTX 970 and I have the DA-2(with a 2014 macbook pro) everything should fit into the Akitio thunder right? -

RobRauff replied to fernangus's topic in DIY e-GPU Projects
I know that Dschijn's guide was saying it depends on the card, but since the DA-2 is unique it has been getting great feedback from GTX 970 users, so long as you hook it up correctly. -

Read through the last few pages. I just asked for all of that info. I am bulding my eGPU this wednesday. I will post results and probably make a youtube video. -

Would the 970 be the only reason I would need to get 90-degree 6 pins? I will probably just return my 960 and upgrade to a 970. -

RobRauff replied to fernangus's topic in DIY e-GPU Projects
Do you think that upgrading to the 970 will make that much of a difference? Is it worth it from the 960? -

RobRauff replied to fernangus's topic in DIY e-GPU Projects
So if I am thinking of using the Zotac GTX 970 (without fan shroud) is there anything else I would need besides another splitter? Would I need to modify my DA-2? Zotac GTX 970 -

I really appreciate that. When the parts come in on Tuesday I will let you know how it all went. Thank you for all your help! -

Is there a guide to making a 6-pin PCIe to barrel adapter?Because all I can find is molex to barrel. Also when I am plugging in my 6-pin PCIe into the 8-pin Dell DA-2 side all I need to do it plug it in such a way that those 6-pins touch both the GND and the Remote pins right? So if I am thinking about this correctly, the 6-pin will be plugged into all pins besides the furthest right GND pin and the furthest right 12V pin? **********EDIT************ After reading some more I found previous information that I will be cutting down the unused 6-pin PCIe from the split into two sets of yellow(+) and black wires(-) for the barrel plug adapter. My own question now is, what is the paperclip trick because it seems that I will need to use that to power my DA-2? Thanks in advance -

Awesome! So i am understanding the basic concepts of the design. Okay, I will order a 6 pin extension, which side will the go on, the GPU side or the barrel plug side? Now concerning the grounding of the pins in that 8-pin to 6-pin fixture, I was looking at the diagrams and from what I read when I plug the 6-pin y cable into the fixture there are some wires I need to cut. I was just wondeing if you could help elaborate on exactly what I need to do to get the y-cable/extension to go to the barrel plug? Thank you -

After reading through that I think I have the basic layout of what I will need to buy. Would you be able to confirm that everything is compatible before I buy it please?

Would the other two cards work? And which would be the best? What would the barrel plug look like and how would I hook it up. Im sorry I am really new at this I have only built computers. http://www.amazon.com/DC-Power-Plug-2-5x5-5mm-locking/dp/B00E4WGVXK Is the 2nd splitter the one i use the paperclip trick on? -

Hello, I am currently looking to build a eGPU for Fallout 4 coming out next week. From what I have been reading there is a multitude of ways to do this. Here are some specs: Macbook Pro 15-inch(Mid-2014) Iris Pro graphics only Windows 10 bootcamp (I know I will probably have to buy Windows 8.1) My question is what should I buy, I have put some links below as to what my research has lead me to buy but I don't want to make a wrong purchase. Please let me know what I should, any and all advice is welcome. The Wasteland needs me.
