360precision

Should my Mac go to sleep BEFORE it detects the GPU ? I can see in the terminal window that it's executing the sleep command but nothing happens.

@360precision I had a very similar issue with "TB connected but no egpu detected", and bugged me for weeks. What fixed it for me was removing the 2 halves of the boards in the Akitio case, and detaching/reattaching them to each other. They may just be loosely connected. Never had a problem since for months. Not a elegant solution, but worth a shot if nothing else works ;). Goodluck

Thanks for the suggestion, tried it but still no luck. Going to buy a different case.

Means that the eGPU doesn't appear in the I/O registry, and signifies a hardware issue. Please check that all the power connectors are plugged in properly. Try also a different TB cable/port.

 THis is the output from the connected TB devices:

To power up the Atikio I have two 6 pin cables plugged into the peripheral ports on the PSU wired into the barrel connector with 2 x 12V on the centre pin and 2 x ground on the outer. I've also swapped the cables and ports around

For the life of me I can't get my early 2013  MacBook Pro running a fresh install of 10.11.5 to recognise my eGPU. My hardware set-up consists of the following:

1. Early 2013 MacBook Pro with the GT650M

2. Fresh install of OS X 10.11.5
3. Corsair CX750M PSU

4. ASUS GTX 980 and EVGA GTX 960 

5. Akitio PCIe TB chassis.
6. Custom made 2 x 6pin cable to barrel plug
7. Paperclip to power up PSU

The Akitio powers up as do the fans on the GPU. When I run the install script I just get stopped at the "Thunderbolt device is connected, but no external GPUs detected". I've tried this with the  eGPU connected to an external monitor via HDMI and with no monitor connected. I'm just lost as to why my set-up doesn't work. Both GPUs are brand new so should be good to go.
