One more helpful hint: I discovered that I had power issues because of my UPS. I was using a Cyberpower 390W that was just fine for my MacBook, monitor and external devices. Not quite good enough for the eGPU setup. Luckily, running the caffe cifar10 full training dataset exposed a shutdown message for loss of power. Does anyone have any ideas how to increase the airflow in the AKiTiO enclosure? It was extremely hot running some tests, the ports on the GPU were hot to touch and I had to take the external enclosure off.

Hi, I'm a new member here. I just built an EVGA TitanX + AKiTiO Thunder 2 + 1000W power supply system, and have it up and running on my 2013 Mac Book Pro & thunderbolt display. I spent a few hours figuring out power supply wiring and bending open the AKiTiO case. I used C clamps to helped flatten the bent section out, but it is still not very pretty. At least the external enclosure fits. As far as benchmarks, the octane benchmark gave me score of 127 for the Titan X alone , and a score of 139 for the GT 750M + GTX TITAN X. The basic guide was incredibly helpful, along with 2 other guides: The automate eGPU script https://github.com/goalque/automate-eGPU and How to compile tensorflow with CUDA support on OSX https://medium.com/@fabmilo/how-to-compile-tensorflow-with-cuda-support-on-osx-fd27108e27e1#.aggzip20a
