Above: Doing that shorts out multiple rails on the PSU which causes it to shut off due to SCP.

You are supposed to use the 4pin CPU connection, NOT the 4pin segment of the 20+4pin ATX connection.

I spent literally 3 seconds on Google and found this.

Literally 3 seconds.

Optimus only kicks in if you use the internal monitor.

Are you sure you're even supposed to have those two ribbon cables connected to a breadboard like that?

There is a small parasitic capacitance between the rows on such breadboards , and may cause high-frequency signals such as those in PCIe to mix in with each other between the rows.

If you want an easy way to figure out what connection speed your card is running at, run GPU-Z and Furmark (or a game or something). GPU-Z will show you the bus interface/speed.

If anyone one of you guys noticed there are new generation of pe4c v4. It looks amazing for what they have done to HDMI to mini-pcie, HOWEVER only HDMI m-pcie cable doesn't have any drill hole which you can not insert the screw to secure it. If you leave the m-pcie like that, then it will hang under your laptop or "dangling" because it doesn't have any anchor on it. Imo its better to get v3 one.

If you look closely, you will see that the one in v4 is an M.2 connector, not an mPCIe connector.

I've been working on getting my eGPU working for several weeks now. I have an issue where the eGPU shows up error-free in device manager, but nothing else seems to see it and external monitors don't work. I've posted about this a few times with no responses, so I'm hoping someone here might have an answer or something to point me in the right direction. 

If it shows up as a "Standard VGA Adapter", then you need to install the nvidia mobile drivers from geforce.com.

If you already installed nvidia drivers, are you sure you installed the mobile one and not the desktop one?
