Thanks for those links, I had them all checked out before I decided to delid mine... I encountered the exact same problem with the guy that tried to mount the waterblock directly to the die.
I just ordered 2 tubes of Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra and I will make another attempt to lower temps.
Also one of those would be awesome...

What is this thinger called? And where can I get one?

I can't even hit 4.2 with that voltage....

Oh man really? That's horrible ;-;
I'm non-delidded and stock cooler / paste. @BlitzXFire is on a custom water loop and can't even hit 4.1 @ 1.3V (he didn't bother de-lidding since there is no OC potential really).

Thank you, that's a relief!
Now onto the business of the card itself. I'm probably going to buy the PE4H adapter, and I have a spare card to test with, an AMD HD6950. Is that too demanding for the throughput of mPCIe? What do you consider the 'maximum' for for an mPCIe slot, the GPU where, above that, the mPCIe slot limits the performance of the card? (I wand to go NVidia for the real deal, because that's what's in my laptop already.)
You would want to get the PE4L-PM060A, this allows for Gen2 performance (a bit more reliably).
Nvidia will allow you to get Optimus compression as well which gives a significant performance boost.
I've used a GTX 660Ti as an eGPU and a R9 280X. Some users have used up to a GTX Titan.

Wow, I just checked that out. I must say that looks amazing. So I'm going to lean toward saying "yes"
I'm kinda tempted to get that in the near future.

Alright, we'll continue on here. I tried moving the card, and it didn't work anymore. Sometime today I'll check the BIOS, but I don't think there will be anything. Also, are you sure the slot labeled WLAN will work? Again, one of the stickies here said that WWAN (and I assume that that is similar to WLAN) style ports don't work, because they only have the throughput of a USB connection.
WLAN is almost always mPCIe. I haven't seen a single laptop (and I work computer repair) that has a non-mPCIe base wifi card.
WWAN is almost always USB based. I think I've may have seen one mPCIe based WWAN card - and that was by Googling for one.
Think of it this way:
WLAN = WiFi
WWAN = Cell phone data network

Whelp. The stock cooler is less than adequate for a 4.5Ghz OC (what a surprise).
4.5GHz @ 1.26V
Waiting on the end of the NZXT Cable Management Challenge to see if I won the Kraken X60. If I don't then I'll be buying a X60 >_>

Hi! I just started researching eGPU's, and I love the prospect of doing away with my desktop in favor of my laptop and eGPU (one hell of a space saver!)
My laptop (ASUS Vivobook V551LB-DB71T) doesn't have an expresscard slot or a Thunderbolt port, but it does have an extra mPCIe port. The only thing is, I've read in the stickies that "WWAN" mPCIe ports don't work, and I'm wondering if mine are that type.
Here is a picture of the ports in my laptop. I'm assuming that because the one with the wireless card in it labeled "WLAN" is the wrong kind, and wouldn't work. However, the second (unused) one appears to be labeled "SSD," which looks like a good sign. Would the second one work with an eGPU?
Welcome to T|I. As I mentioned on reddit, you'd have to test by putting your wifi card into the SSD slot and see if it works. See if there is an option in BIOS about that port if it does not work. You really cannot tell just by looking at it (they share the same pins to operate.

edit:
Saw your post on reddit. You will have to connect your eGPU in the slot where the wifi card is. You can use a USB wifi device if you require wireless.

Hello,
I had a successful installation of the PE4H device and was using it frequently. Over the past 3 months I stopped using it as I was mostly on the road. Last weekend I decide to plug back in and it woul dnot boot my monitor and it frustrated me. I decided to reinstall windows to take care of the issue as it had helped me in the past
I am able to install and detect the gt640 card, however I am getting the error "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems Code 43" which is preventing usage. any help ?
For me, I solved error 43 by installing the latest Nvidia desktop driver. I'm running driver version 334.89 at the moment. I'd suggest your try that out.
-
what would i need specifically ? as i dont know whether to shell out 1200 on a pc or spend 600 on a card and power supply and adapters.
PE4L-PM060A
A power supply.
Video card.
You might need Setup 1.x to allocate sufficient resources:

Not me on Reddit, some other guy. Temps running Unigine Heaven benchmark were 65c on the nvs4200m and 75c on the gtx 760. CPU temp unknown, suppose I need a temp monitor now that I'm pushing my tablet into the red zone.
Ah.
Yeah, the 4200M temps are pretty decent, they don't get too bad. Use Real|Temp to monitor the CPU temps. It gets absurdly hot.
-
its all pretty daunting, so where my wifi card goes this would be the solution, but wouldnt i lose wifi connectivity ?
Yeah you would. You could always get a USB wifi card/dongle to connect via wifi if need be.
-
How are your temps holding up? In that position the temps aren't too bad. But it still is a Tablet|Inferno. Mine was running 85-98C when under a heavy load. And that's after a re-paste and heatsink pressure increase.

Were you the guy that messaged me on reddit perchance?

You guys can bench two of me ;---------------------;
(Yes, I'm really that absurdly skinny)

From a quick glance at your system (mainly the innards). If you pull your wifi card out, you can connect an eGPU via the mPCIe slot. So the PE4L-PM060A would be the adapter for you to get.

Your RAM is 2fast4me ;-;
ADATA XPG 2x8GB @ 2400. I did nothing but enable XMP (I'm completely new to OC'ing stuffs)
Shizuku is pleased.

At this point , the biggest problem is that I can't load into the uefi because at startup the computer just shoes a blank screen, no Lenovo logo, as of the device is bricked .
Have you tried stroking your keyboard from the ESC key to the F12 key + Delete? Perhaps you might be able to pull up the BIOS window that way and it's just not showing your a splash.
Or did you attempt the BIOS update already and it went bad during the update? If so, then it might be bricked. There may be a way to recover it, I'm not familiar enough with Lenovos to give further insight.
As with what @Khenglish said, just change your boot option back to UEFI / GPT / w/e it says in your BIOS and you should be good to go.

You should have to do anything in particular to boot from USB, if you have a bootmenu option (when it's working properly), you should be able to select your USB drive and boot to it without messing in the BIOS. If it is remotely smart enough, it should load legacy roms when needed.

Would you mind showing me an example of such dropdown circuit? I'm not so expert. :-)
Something like this:
Amazon.com : KEEDOX® DC/DC Converter 12V Step Down to 5V 3A Power Supply Module : Electronics
or
Not sure how much power the adapter needs, 5V @ 3A = 15W.

Would it be possible to use a 12V power supply such as theese? Or will the 5V requirement of the PE4L make this not possible?
Nothing wrong with using that power supply, but as you said, the 5V requirement for the adapter would need an additional circuit to dropdown the 12V to a 5V.

Hi all, I'm newbie on eGPU project and face some problem now, hope to get it solve asap!
my item:
1. PE4L v2.1b - PM3N
2. GT640
3. Acer Aspire 4736z
4. suitable power supply and more...
I want to make it for internal LCD only!
While I connect PM3N to mPCIe slot(remove my wireless card)and power on my eGPU then turn on my notebook and my notebook always BLACK SCREEN!
I test for hit F8 and power on my eGPU + standby mode my windows 7 64bit and power on my eGPU both also not working/not detect!
How can I solve my problem?
Boss nando please help me:48_002:
I'd attempt to get it working external first. Then once you do, disconnect your external displays to get it working on your internal.
-
I can also confirm that 16GB works just fine.
I got 2x8GB @ 1333 in mine with no issues.
-
Have you tried with the 14.1 drivers?
Thanks for your continued work, this stuff is growing to way over my head ;D

CROSSFIRE IS WORKING ON WINDOWS!
What a night. my first psu (old 400W) has blown/burned in the past weak and I replaced it with a 730W one, and this last one when I was just a hour ago while I was testing my new 290x with the laptop.
Since I planned on buying a second PSU to replace the 400W that has just blown, I've said I'll put the two 6950 in the desktop PC with this new PSU I bought two days ago
to replace the first and I said I'll try mining a little. Booted windows and so the second GPU can't be used to mine as its locked to low clocks and shows disabled in
catalyst. Found some thread with the same problem and they said it's because I don't have dummy plug on one of the cards and op saying catalyst 13.4 legacy works
anyways (without the dummy plug). I've installed it and it asked me about crossfire! I answered yes/next and it said a crossfire bridge isn't connected, connected it
and voilla! crossfire!
TL ,DR: crossfire HD6950 on two 1x links works on catalyst 13.4 legacy (64bit)
Now there is something to compare to, for example to see what have changed in catalyst code to see if it can be enabled!
WOOO
If we can get it working with more modern drivers, I might be able to scrounge together my friend's parts and boss's laptop again to test once more.
Good job @sskillz !

@angerthosenear is that BF4?
Whoops, forgot to say. Yes it's BF4.

More Battlefield 4 testing with Mantle vs DX11
Mantle testing in a desktop. Did everything the same as with the eGPU. Test range. Same route (ish).
Comparison of hardware:\[/TD] Laptop Desktop [/TR]CPU i7-2620M (2.7->3.4GHz HT dual) i7-4770K (3.5->3.9GHz HT quad) RAM 16GB @ 1333MHz 16GB @ 2400MHz GPU R9 280X @ x1 2.0 R9 280X @ x16 3.0 Drive HGST 1TB @ 7200RPM Samsung 840 EVO 120GB

Mantle DX11
Desktop charts:
Doesn't look like much of a difference (there isn't really), but just like with laptop eGPU performance, there was about a 10fps gain. Went from high-70s/low-80s to high-80s/low-90s.
I didn't say in my laptop post since I didn't pay much attention to the fps as far as mentally logging it. But there it was high-50s/low-60s to high-60s/low-70s. I must say, that is a pretty impressive showing for a laptop eGPU implementation. I'd expect a bigger difference in more graphically intensive locations however.-

i7 4770K Overclock
in Overclocking, Cooling & Build Logs
Posted
From what I can find, it was supposedly supposed to come with the Asus Maximus VI Extreme, but that didn't happen (I have a friend with this board, and he didn't get one).
No idea on how to get one.
I'll probably order some CLU and delid and put it on both sides of the IHS whenever I get a cooler. Still waitin on the NZXT contest to see if won the Kraken X60 (ends the 31st).
