For the sake of closure, the PSU did seem to be the problem. Once I had the Dell 220w power brick inserted, and the right cables to go from the female 6 pin on the EXP GDC adapter to the two female 6 pins of the Zotac GTX 970, it was immediately recognized in Windows once the laptop booted up. I then just had to restart, install the drivers, restart once more, and I was then able to use the GTX 970 for gaming and whatnot.

 

I have yet to test this with the mPCIe, only the ExpressCard. I may have to tinker with the mPCIe setup, but I'll find out soon enough...

 

As a side note, I have been able to overclock to 1476Mhz on core without any changes to power or temp thresholds!

 

 

Hi, I  have a similar problem, I cant recognize my eGPU on my laptop. I tried everything as you did, but I'm not sure I understand what you did to fix. what cables are you talking about ?

Some options:

Try the other mPCIe slot.

Reset BIOS to original settings.

Reseat everything.

I tried that, I'm starting to thinking about hardware failure...

Details?

So, still the same: the computer is working fine, it turns on, but I cant detect any eGPU on windows on on that other DOS software.

- If I turn the laptop on with out a power supply I just got a black screen.

- If I turn the PSU on the blue LED on the eGPU adaptor goes on, but the eGPU is not dectectd by windows.

- If I turn the EGPU adaptor on, without the Video board, it does not detect the USB drive (this adaptor has a USB port on it.

I don't know what to do...

still don't work, here is some pictures:

I already had that BIOS version installed, should I configure the PCI port to 1 generation as well ?

thanks

hi Sirios, I have a similar setup as you. A X220 16Gb 1866 and I am trying to use a GT 730 eGPU, but I can get it to work, the computer boots, the LED turns On on the adaptor, but the eGPU is not detected on the system... any tips ? did you have to configure anything on your bios ? thanks

I think test it in other computer would be the best option but I don't have where to do it now, I will keep trying thanks

I figure out something I was doing wrong: looks like I was connecting in the wrong Mini PCIe. Not I disconnected the wifi board and connected the EXP GDC, but still not working.

i just got a 300w PSU, still don't work... I just don't know what else to do....

thank you very much for your reply, the reason I didn't use one in the first place is that I read around that you don't need one if you video board is 60w or less.

Hello everyone, I need some help in order to make my setup work right now I have a Lenovo X220t with this configuration:

Intel i7

16GB RAM DDR3 1866 (but I still have the 8gb original one)

SSD Samsung

Video Board: Nvidia GT 730

I got this eGPU adaptor: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/EXP-GDC-Laptop-External-Independent-Video-Card-Dock-with-PCI-E-Interface-Black/32456172794.html

That I'm connecting interior PCIe Slot, I'm also have installed the lastest the Advanced Whitelisted Bios (1.40).

But I can get it to work, I already installed the DIY eGPU menu but it could recognize any eGPU as well.

I'm also not using an PC energy supply since this is a low end Video Board, I'm just using an external 12v 1.5 A power supply..

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, should I maybe be connecting it with a PCIexperss Card adapter or something?

any help ?

thanks in advance!
