I have got plans to sell 2nd VGA after i test Gerald adapter and confirm it's working fine for me. So, i would like to don't disassmble 2nd VGA. =)

 

Not yet and it will take LONG. I am ordered part i need on eBay and seller give me tracking number, but i can't get any data from tracking system.

 

Parcel sent from China by ePacket to Russia. Tracking type is LQxxxxxxxxxCN.

 

Also, i don't have any Radeon card yet. In fact i don't know what to choose RX 470 or RX 480? I am sure IF adapter will work - it will work as PCI-E v2.0 and not 3.0. So, maybe there is no real reason to pay more for performance of RX 480 which i will not really see? And another problem for me it's choose between 4096 Mb or 8192 Mb on board.

 

So, i am stuck now and waiting for news from tracking system and thinking about which card i should get.

 

Good thing is - i can take pictures of my disassembled Lenovo Y500. =)))) So youd don't need to disassemble it.

8GB is really only needed for 4k video. If your monitor will be HD or QHD you should be OK with 4GB. Also RX480 is fine on PCI-E 2.0x16. Same performance as PCI-E 3.0x8.

I finally got Adapter from Gerald at Friday on this week!

 

But week BEFORE (or so) i am cleaned CPU cooler and damaged flex cabel from power button board to motherboard. So, i am waiting now for replacement part...

 

Also, CPU cooler started to wobble a lot and give very noticable vibration to entire notebook - i think i will replace CPU cooler too.

 

P.S. I am inserted adapter in disassembled notebook and... it's a bit wobble too. No strong fix inside. Maybe someone integrated adapter in 2nd VGA shell? Or maybe custom shell with Ultrabay lock? That will be nice MOD!

 

Here is braket only:

Thank you for being the test subject. If you can get this working I also have a Y500.

Gerald, I'd also be interested in trying the adapter if I can find an anti-whitelisted bios for the y500. I'm in the US.
