i was just curious about it, so i tried and it crashed. i don't think i will do it on purpose again. but it can happen again if there is power outage issue and my Mac still work on battery

hi @Dschijn thank you for your quick answer . is it ok for me to do hot unplug it ? is there anything other than system restart that i should worry about ?

i'm wondering what will happen if we do hot plug/unplug for Akitio Thunder 2 (mine has GTX 750 Ti) to Windows 10 on MacBookAir. i tried both i got result below 1. hot plug : nothing happen, it doesn't recognize the eGPU 2. hot unplug : Windows 10 shutdown immediately, system restart what do you get if you do the same ? is it ok to do that ?

i have installed Windows 8.1 for eGPU and underclocked my MSI GTX 750 Ti, it seems it is stable for now. but i will definitely try your solution, thank you!

hi @dludingt , could you tell me what card are you using ? from what i can see, that card only draw power from PCIe slot and according to this post , i think 120W is ok for this case.

this is the power brick i used http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B8TRF0A/ it happens randomly , when i browse websites, when i play games, when i leave my Mac and do other things

i have MSI GTX 750 Ti and i often get kernel panic with Mac after 30 mins to 1 hour of use. this is my setup : Akitio Thunder2 MSI GTX 750 Ti link 12V 10A power Brick link MacBook Air mid 2013 with intel Core i7 and 8GB of RAM OSX 10.11.1 and 10.11.2 is this a popular issue ? how can i prevent it ? will it be stable if i use it with Windows 8.1 ?

from what you said, does it mean we can use Macbook Air screen on Windows without an external display ?

hi @goalque, is there any way to active it on my Mac Display ? is an external display must-have ? thank you for your answers

i just tried to install driver with latest automate-eGPU.sh script. my MSI GTX 750 Ti shows up in system report > Graphics/Displays but 'About this Mac > Overview' tab still shows Intel HD5000. what is the problem here ? i tried both 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 script My Mac is MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013) OS : El Capitan i'm using MacBook Air display, no external display.

@Dschijn, thank you for your answers , it seems i don't have many choices here . if i'm going to use Dell DA-2 12V 18W , is it ok for me to plug it directly to AkitiO box ? this type power Supply is popular in my country , but i'm not sure if it's ok to use with AkitiO box http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MU0CHG

@Dschijn: thanks alot for the information, can you describe those unknown problems ? what if i go for 8A or 9A instead

i have msi gtx 750 ti , which consumes 60w. and akitio is the only thunder bolt device i have. i am wondering if akitio thunder 2 can handle 120w well out of box. perhaps 12V 8A is a better option for this setup ?

sorry , a guy told me he has it, i think its DA-2 220W . i just found another one name 'Sunny Adapter 12V 10A' , is this one good ?

i have found another adapter Dell 12V 18A , is it ok to use it ? can i plug it to the Akitio directly ?
