  1. Oh yeah I see, I really hope you succeed! Sorry for the confusing phat->slim adapter part. I first thought you used this for your xbox PSU in order to have a female power socket =) I bought two of those (slim only needs one 12v rail, so there is two pins missing in the adapter), took two pins/wires from the first to complete the second. So if my XBOX psu brakes down, I just use another one. Hope it makes sense! Please keep us updated of your progress, and take pictures!
  2. I love the effort you're putting into to this man! I'm a bit confused by your new approach, wouldn't that be back to square one? PE4L<[sOLDER POINT]>--------------[HDMI-CABLE]---------------<[sOLDER POINT]>PM3N Please keep up the good work! EDIT: By the way, I ordered 2x PHAT->SLIM adapters, took two wires (incl. connection) from one and pushed them straight into to the second ones two empty wire sockets (like a glove). That might be interesting for you as well =)
  3. Well I'm in the same situation, mine says: Order Date: Monday, 20 May 2013 14:01 Order Status: Pending I'm pretty disappointed since I needed the adapter for work EDIT: I also emailed them twice two weeks ago, no answer.
  4. I'm having the same problem as you (occupying the only mPCIe-slot with ePGU), so I ordered this mPCIe-wlan card that uses only USB-interface. Too bad it doesn't have BT, but I'm pretty sure I'll outperform any regular USB-WIFI since it is using the internal antennas. I can't tell if works yet since I'm still waiting for it to arrive. Cheers! PS. If you find any other internal card that have WLAN+BT, please post =)
  5. Nice job, please upload some pictures. I guess you're limited to Gen1 speed? ----------------------------------- Also I found this PCIe-gen2-extender, that could do it with some modification?
  6. Has anyone confirmed the cost of these connections yet? Pretty interesting! Edit: Saw this?
  7. Hi guys. I just want to announce that my eGPU for Lenovo Thinkpad E530 has been successful. My write-up will be posted as soon as I have time! If you have any questions meanwhile, just shoot. And of course, thank you @Tech Inferno Fan for all of your help.
  8. Hi guys. So here is another update regarding Lenovo E530 + GTX 660: I managed to do the DSDT override since my TOLUD was 3.49GB and no "large memory" were available. So the huge pain in the ass is to have my eGPU overcome "code 12". I've tried almost every different PCI compaction method but still no luck. Let's say that my PCI compaction were successful, can I verify that by looking in setup 1.x using NVflash or something else? My eGPU never shows up in NVflash and that seems shady. I would really appreciate some help here!
  9. Let me add two candidates from Sweden as well: Dell Vostro 3650, Expresscard: ~840 Euro Dell Vostro 3560 - 15.6" (1080p) - Core i7 3632QM - Windows 8 Pro 64-bit - 8 GB RAM - 128 GB SSD Style-note W25CEW, Expresscard: ~1000 Euro Style-Note W25CEW - 15.6" (1600x900) - i7-3740QM, 8GB HyperX 1600MHz, 120GB Kingston HyperX 3K SSD
  10. Here is an update: I change my old 7900GTX to a GTX 660. First I was really confused since setup 1.x ran the old card at full fan speed all the time while the fans of the GTX 660 is in a more of a "idling" state (which seems more normal to me). I manage to install standard VGA adapter and after that the GTX 660, to finally encounter code 12 (which I expected because of my TOLUD ~3.5GB). Since I don't see (or have?) the large memory bus and non of the PCI compactions were successful (since NVflash doesn't find the card?), my conclusion is that I have to implement the DSDT-override?
  11. Omg there was a little piece of protection film left on my PM3N, I feel like an stupid idiot right now! Anyway, by "hot-swapping" like you said setup 1.x now recognizes my 7900GTX, NICE! Also learned that the whitelist is for real when I got a hold of a wlan-card from another computer. System halted and promted something like 'un-authorized wifi-card'. So what do we do from here? I've tried different allocation methods with no luck. (My goal with this current setup is to have the pe4l recognized and installed by windows, I will then purchase an 670GTX to combine with my XBOX psu)
  12. Hi Nando. So I tried your instructions: Boot setup 1.x with WLAN-card, "hot-swapped" with my PE4L2.1b-PM060A, and nothing gets detected. Maybe there is some basics that I don't know regarding the eGPU setup? EDIT: Good to know is that I'm using an old but functional 7900GT before buying something fancier. 1. Which leds should light up on the pe4l? 2. What settings should I use for SW1/SW2? 3. Should "OS detection for switchable graphics" be enabled in BIOS (which I currently have enabled) Side note: When I laborated and booted up setup 1.x with iGPU+dGPU I disabled the dGPU from there and manage to free up 512MB (which otherwise states 64MB when booting iGPU only). I don't know if this means anything but it didn't freeze when restoring port 2 when doing it this way. I went for a hunt looking for some anti WL bios with no luck, if you know where to look just let me know =)
  13. When speaking of SW1 and SW2 of the PE4L-PM060A I'm a bit confused. I can see that SW2 provides two modes of delay (?) and the two modes of SW1 I'm not sure of? I hope my questions are somewhat readable =)
  14. Trust me Nando, I don't care if the computer blow up so lets get this working =) But I will not be able to try this until to night. I'll keep you updated!
  15. Alright so now the setup 1.x recognizes my chipset at least. My first thought was, and still is that, my mPCIE wlan port is whitelisted so I went through the anti-whitelisting procedure. 1. Booted setup 1.x with the "whitelisted" wlan card in its original port 2. 2. Made a save: mPcie -> !Save -> Port 2. 3. Restarted and entered setup 1.x with PE4L2.1b-mPcie attached in port 2 and eGPU running. 4. Enabled port 2 (wlan port). 5. Entered the "restore port 2". Then nothing happens, this is what is see. This laptop might be a dead end for an eGPU Also saw that my TOLUD was 3.49 GB, but it shouldn't stop the system from recognizing it? (it should be the next problem to solve).
  16. Hi Nando. "C:\setpci -s 0:1f.0 2.w" returned: 1e57​. Hmm the update didn't install in the right path! Let me come back to you Nando =)
  17. The link magically started working this morning (same IP, same browser) =) However, setup x.1 still promts "[ichip] unknown intel chipset found." I know that I my lenovo e530 has a HM77, any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
  18. Hi guys. Does anyone have the Setup-110b5-updates-2-27-2013.exe to share? (this link seems to be dead) My ivy-bridge chipset is not being recognized Thanks in advance!
  19. Firt of all, nice job! I really hope to see some benchmarks later on if you figure out the problem with 3dMark =) My future setup will look similar to yours, I also have the 3612qm. Do you obtain any performance gain when locking the cpu at 2.8GHz or is it due to some lag issues when throttling?
  20. Congratulations! Do you mind posting your spec. and results? Then Nando could put you up on the "news" list at page 1!
  21. I saw that Nando4 already helped you. Good luck and don't forget to post your results!
  22. I see, so your question is if you will need setup x1 or not? Post your laptop model here and so that I can check your specifications.
  23. Thanks man! I'll have to say his work is impressive (also looked at the HTPC build!). I'll keep you updated (I'll certainly have some questions along the way) of my project. Right now I need to finish up my master thesis work =) Meanwhile, I'll try to contribute with answers in this thread.
  24. Hi nando, I've made a real account (no longer the facebook "Ivar Af Oring"). Just so you know! I've been thinking about what you said about the cons using an xbox360-203w ac. It should possible to "strip" it down to make it slimmer in order to fit it in a smaller case? This will be my new approach.
