Whoops, double-post.

I was talking about the original SG01 - If there are variations of it then I don't know, the seller didn't mention. Nevermind though, it's been taken by someone else.
-
For those wondering why the Silverstone SG01 is not listed in the OP: (Left: geforce.com page for the GTX 580. Right: Silverstone's page for the SG01) Sigh. And I thought I could snap up that SG01 that just went on sale on a local classifieds for $10 and stop having my eGPU be mounted in an open plastic basket with zip-ties and power cables hanging everywhere. That said, there's no reason the SG01 wouldn't work if you were using a short card. EDIT: Can anyone who has an SG01 answer this: What is preventing longer cards from being installed and could you just saw it off to make more space?

EXP GDC Beast/Ares-V7/V6 discussion
Another Tech Inferno Fan replied to jacobsson's topic in Enclosures and Adapters
Mine is red. Always has been, always will be. There is also only one LED mounted on the PCB, so either I am missing something and being an idiot, or red light is the only light you'll ever see. -
My EGPU is not working at full power
Another Tech Inferno Fan replied to cam21sk8r's topic in DIY e-GPU Projects
Run any sort of stress test like FurMark or run GPU-Z's internal render test. The bus interface on the eGPU should automatically switch to PCIe 2.0 when you do that. Otherwise, you have the problem where it's stuck at PCIe 1.1. There is various info on fixing this - I suggest looking around on this board. You may have to use eGPU Setup 1.x in order to force gen2 speeds. -

Open GPU-Z and check if it's running at PCIe 2.0. -
The EXP GDC product page has a good chart outlining what cards are ideal for PCIe x1 gen 2: http://www.banggood.com/EXP-GDC-Laptop-External-PCI-E-Graphics-Card-p-934367.html I don't know if there's much truth to it, since I presume different applications might utilise the PCIe bus differently. It should theoretically be possible to benchmark every card at PCIe x1 speeds to determine at what point additional graphics horsepower becomes meaningless due to PCIe x1 bottlenecks.

T430/T530 ExpressCard Link Speed
Another Tech Inferno Fan replied to Omicron's topic in DIY e-GPU Projects
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExpressCard#ExpressCard_2.0 There was never an "ExpressCard 3.0" standard which allowed connection to PCIe 3.0. I hope I am wrong, however. -
220W Dell DA-2 AC adapter discussion
Another Tech Inferno Fan replied to jacobsson's topic in Enclosures and Adapters
1. There are only three 12V pins on that card. Not six. 2. ATX specification shows that the middle 12V pin is "not connected", though most PSUs and PCIe devices have it wired as 12V. This is negligible however. -
egpu works on toshiba laptops?

Read around before posting questions. -

Another Tech Inferno Fan replied to andresousa's topic in General Notebook Discussions
>he thinks that stating his make of laptop is sufficient to determine compatibility It's like asking if I can install a magnetic tape reader on my IBM. -
Kraken gpu liquid cooling?
Another Tech Inferno Fan replied to cancerman's topic in Desktop Hardware
Interesting. http://www.overclock.net/t/1203528/official-nvidia-gpu-mod-club-aka-the-mod It seems a fair number of people on overclock.net have been successful with using Corsair H60's. -
220W Dell DA-2 AC adapter discussion
Another Tech Inferno Fan replied to jacobsson's topic in Enclosures and Adapters
The worst that could happen is that the DC jack or the connector burns out. If the 6 (or 5) pins for power on the Dell DA-2 can push 220w, then I'm sure the amount of surface area on one of those standard DC power jacks can handle the same. Will the wiring get hot at full 220W load? Probably. The solution? Use thicker gauge wire. Preferably the kind you use to jump-start combustion engines. -

If you knew anything about computer performance at all, you would know that there are these programs called 'benchmarks'. I hear they're the bee's knees! -
220W Dell DA-2 AC adapter discussion
Another Tech Inferno Fan replied to jacobsson's topic in Enclosures and Adapters
Laboratory bench PSU's can be a very nice tool to have if you have the money for one. However for most people, a quality ATX PSU is more than sufficient. -

Cable. Yes. 1. Oh, so now you realise it's a cable? 2. If it were, it wouldn't be mPCIe/EC on the other side. -
BPlus PE4C V3/V2 discussion
Another Tech Inferno Fan replied to useafo's topic in Enclosures and Adapters
No. Just buy PE4C V3. -
Hate to bump, but just so people realise the extent of this problem: That is 9 bluescreens in 4.5 hours on July 7th. I've yet to try the obvious possible solution of wrapping the cable in foil however. Perhaps I should try writing "No more bluescreens" on a tanzaku and tie it to a bamboo tree? -- This also happens right after startup sometimes. So every program that is set to open on startup has a small chance of losing all its data when the system crashes.

Except this is a high-frequency differential signal. If your statement were true, nobody would need to use anything more than CAT5 cabling for ethernet, and CAT6 STP would never exist. Except this has nothing to do with HDMI. The signal is PCIe. You've already figured it out. See first line of this post.

220W Dell DA-2 AC adapter discussion
Another Tech Inferno Fan replied to jacobsson's topic in Enclosures and Adapters
No, it is a proprietary pinout. The only thing that matters is that the 12V and ground lines are connected as per 8pin PCIe pinout. Refer to the pinout diagrams at the top of this page. -
eGPU experiences [version 2.0]
Another Tech Inferno Fan replied to Tech Inferno Fan's topic in DIY e-GPU Projects
Worth noting that in the above post, the GPU (R7 240) is very underpowered and will almost never be bottlenecked by bus utilisation. It is also a Radeon card, which implies that it's (probably) running on an external monitor, which then implies that there is no PCIe bus overhead from Optimus.
