Thanks for clarifying!
The 300W PSU of the III-D is what I bought it for in the first place!
I get your drift about two pus's.
I'll look into that, maybe for testing I can also power the Sonnet from my external PSU? I haven't even looked at it in the first place.
Has anybody done this before? Experiences?
Also @goalque @Dschijn what specific Nvidia cards do you use???
I don't mind looking into buying a supplementary one, but would like it to work 'more easily' though ;-)
Thank you!

1. owwwwww
2. with 1.
Of course you need ALL power plugs to be connected to the GPU! All the time…
How is the Sonnet powered? With the Sonnet PSU?
6pin from the Sonnet PSU
8pin from external PC
I specifically asked before whether the GTX 960 needs ALL power connections at all times...

@chrise said that it didn’t work on Windows either.
“Error code 43: This circumstance can occur if the device hardware fails or if the device driver fails.”
So this is very likely a hardware issue. Clpeak should work without an eGPU monitor. Have you installed Xcode command line tools?
My Nvidia cards are from Gigabyte & EVGA.
There is still something you can do: SMC and NVRAM reset,

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295I’m a beer lover but I’m not taking donations right now, thanks!
EDIT: Maybe the file /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenCL.framework/Headers/cl.hpp is missing?
The continuing story...
Here's what I did:
- installed the GTX 960 in a desktop PC, only 6pin PSU connected.
- boot win7 (older system that needs updating) & updated driver
- reboot - displays would not come up - error in device management, but device was recognised as GTX 960
- reboot - after adjusting bios
- GTX 960 works
Important:
- Somewhere I figured the GTX 960 needed more power and connected the extra 8pin PSU also
- After that it all functioned
-
As a test:
- powerdown down machine
- took off 8pin PSU connector
- tried to reboot: system did not come up...
On the Sonnet / mac mini side:
- tried to boot once more with the extra PSU connected - no joy, same situation
Questions:
- I don't have bootcamp installed on the mini
- How do you test with windows? (on a mac mini)
- What specific Nvidia cards do you use (with the sonnet)? As I'm looking at buying another one.
Thanks for helping!

Well.. I have a hard time believing that:
I rather believe I make a human error
- As said the Sonnet is the sole PSU to the eGPU - no other PSU's present
- The GTX650 Ti works.. with the said Sonnet PSU
- What I also suspect is maybe I'm using the wrong connection? (It has connectors A (DVI-*), C (DP), B (HDMI), D1 (DVI-*), D2 (2x DP)) see attached.
I will try to go out and buy another graphics card tomorrow, will test the GTX 960 in a x86 PC later but am confident it will work.
Questions:
- Do you have any advice to get clpeak to work?
-
Do you have any recommendations about the maxwell card to buy?
- I will use it most for Autocad, Sketchup and also a little bit on windows for Coolux Pandora's Box
Thanks a lot!
Do you have any Amazon or other gift shop list so I can buy you a beer for thanking you? ;-)

Hmmm...
Xcode downloaded & installed... it was different than the previous time.. more hassle
and now clpeak errors out:
I tried to empty /tmp dir and reran the script, but same error..

You have messed up your system if you are running build 14F1605 on Mac mini and there is no driver 346.02.03f05 for NVDAStartup.
Reinstall OS X. Never install/update Nvidia web drivers manually. Let the script download the correct driver.
On OS X Yosemite, the NVDAStartup stays loaded just a moment after restart so run kextstat command immediately. It’s normal that it vanishes away from the kextstat list and shows Loaded: No.
Ok - here's what I did:
- download fresh yosemite installer
- create yosemite usb installer
- boot mac mini from usb installer
-
disk utility
- erase my hd
-
do clean install of yosemite
- mac mini now also has build 14F27
- do install of automate-eGPU.sh script
-
run automate-eGPU.sh script
- reboot
- no GTX 960 screens light up
-
checking cmd's

Thanks for helping and pointing out.
I have a kept copy of OS X Yosemite Installer on my synology nas, but when I try to put it back to /Applications and try to create a new usb Yosemite installer I get following error:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install OS X Yosemite.app --nointeraction Password: /Applications/Install does not appear to be a valid OS installer application.When I just click on the app, the familiar install window appears.
I seem to remember one day I had the same trouble due to some changes in rights to the installer file.
Unfortunately it is not available for download anymore in the App store.
Do you know of a way to get a clean copy of the yosemite installer? Or check / correct the access rigths?
Answer:
Look in the purchased tab in App Store.
Thx ;-)

You should have the following structure under /Library/Application Support/Automate-eGPU/
- Do you have FileVault turned off?
- Can you try another Maxwell architecture GPU?Thank you for going through all this trouble to help me! Much appreciated!!
- file structure resembles yours, but I don't have 346.02.03f05 (I checked both MBP and Mini)
- FileVault: I have never used it, it is off
- Try another Maxwell architecture GPU - unfortunately the GTX 960 is the only one I have right now, that was why I was looking at the EVGA..
=> I was also checking this thread and compared with my systems and it struck me that NVDAStartup is not loaded... see screenshot below. Also the last modified date seems odd?

Did you also type "sudo ./automate-eGPU.sh" before executing "sudo ./automate-eGPU.sh -a" ?
No I did not.
That is, It has been run before on the system, but not during this uptime.
So I need to run the 2 commands consecutively?
Also:
1. Does the 6 pin connector of the III-D supply enough power for the 960?
2. Any other terminal commands to interrogate thunderbolt egpu?

Hi,
Thanks for sticking with me.
1. Tested on 10.10.5 build 14F1605 mac mini
- I took out the GTX 650 Ti
- boot and run sudo ./automate-eGPU.sh -a (system reports background services enabled)
- halt machine
- added GTX 960 & reboot
=> machine boots and runs without problem
<=> eGPU does not work
Also NVIDIA driver manager shows 4 empty slots??
2. Another test:
- added a MSI GeForce 9400 GT card
- it just works
- But why does it keep reporting 4 empty slots in nvidia driver manager?
- and adding a slot without a number??
What can I do to debug this situation?
Thx,
Erwin

Hi,
First off all a big thank you for all the information on this forum but most of all for this script!
I've been balancing between a hackintosh, a core i7 macbook pro and a core i7 mac mini to get my multi monitor setup going.
I ultimately chose the Thunderbolt way, and invested in some TB toys.
I've tested 2 setups:
- Mac mini (late 2012; Macmini6,2 ; Core i7 2,3 Ghz ; Yosemite 10.10.5)
- 15” MacBookPro9,1; (mid 2012 ; Core i7 2,3 Ghz ; Yosemite 10.10.5)
-
Sonnet Technologies ECHO-EXP3FD Echo, containing
- EVGA GTX 650Ti
- Gigabyte G1 GeForce GTX 960 4GB
- Quadro NVS 450
I cannot seem to get the GTX 960 to work. After running the script, I can see 4 slots (if I'm correct) in the ECC tab of Nvidia settings.
The EVGA GTX 650 Ti works a treat on both setups.
I also have an elderly Quadro NVS 450, this one has 4 DisplayPort connections, and used to work fine in the hackintosh, however it's too slow and short on memory for CAD and Sketchup etc.
So my question is:
- What would be the way to debug the GTX 960?
- I've read:
- Any recent nVidia card should work fine, both with an external monitor and the internal laptop screen through Optimus. [Optimus nVidia]
- EVGA branded nVidia cards are powered differently internally and work better for eGPU setups.
Maybe coincidence, but the only card working is an EVGA card...
- Ultimately: What card would you recommend buying with the highest degree of probability that it'll work?
I'm considering EVGA 4GB D5 X GTX960 FTW ACX 2.0+ but worry that it is just a shot in the dark whether it will work...
Thanks for your input!!

Is there any work being done or to be expected on audio support through HDMI?
I'm interested in using this for HTPC purposes.
Thanks for informing me!
