Saw on Reddit that AMD have updated their BootCamp drivers today (5th April): http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/bootcamp I recently sold my R9 290 for a GTX 770 because of the infamous driver issues and all is working wonderfully in NVIDIA land. Curious to see whether these new drivers continue to not work with the AKiTiO. If anyone is experimenting with AMD cards, or has one to try these out on, could be interesting!

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I'm getting the following when I run the script. Any help would be appreciated - should I boot into recovery and follow instructions there? nvram: Error getting variable - 'csr-active-config': (iokit/common) data was not found Boot into recovery partition and type: csrutil disable EDIT: Ah, I've realised the issue may be that I'm running 10.11.4?

I'm going to be so paranoid when I get round to soldering the new connections myself (triple checking and not using premade crap haha). Somewhat depressing though, yes.

I presume the bang and flash I heard when I turned on the psu means I friend the Akitio by having the pos and neg terminals the wrong way round? Stupid mistake for me have made. Luckily I didn't have the GPU plugged in too as I was just testing the barrel plug adaptor. Shouldn't have trusted cheap cables!

You've installed Windows via bootcamp or an alternative option right? Then you can boot into Windows and it should find drivers for the GPU

Assuming you're talking about the actual graphics card connection to the Akitio, not the PCIe power, you may need a bridge to make a flexible connection then.

@Dschijn Thanks for the advice - sounds like that's the more straightforward option. I'll look into PSU options nad keep you updated when it all arrives to see whether stability issues persist!

Hi, quick question. I've bought an MSI R9 290 and an Akitio TB2, despite the reported compatibility issues - hoping to give it a go. I'm looking into what PSU requirements I need and have my eyes on a Corsair VS350. The corsair has these connectors: The 290 takes both a 6 & 8 PIN PCI to power it. Can I use the "8 PIN CPU and 6+2 PIN PCI" from that VS350 to do that? Noob question I know, but better safe than sorry! Other than that, I just need to make a molex to barrel plug and I'm good to go, as far as I'm aware. Is all of this correct?
