Hey @goalque If you need another tester I'm on MacOs Beta 7 (2016 Macbook Pro  13")with a GTX 970 (MINI) in a Akitio 2. Using Windows 10 also. 

 

I'm using your latest Automate script and can get into OSX by plugging it in right after hitting login. 

For Windows it's entirely hit and miss.

Good spot! Thank you!

Hi, I'm building myself an eGPU for my MBPr 2015 13". I've purchased:

• Akitio Thunder2
• GTX 970 ITX (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00P7337YG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

For the power supply:

• Dell DW-2 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231191384558?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT)
• 1 Barrel plug (male) (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JRGQLWO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
• 2x PCIE splitter female to male 8 -> 2x 8 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003T7071I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
• 2x PCIE splitter female to male 6 -> 2x 6 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004NNTVT6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

 

 

To confirm what I think I'm going to do is...

 

1. Take Dell adapter.
2. Plug in my 8 PIN splitter (1 row across so the left column of pins on the dell are exposed. then put a paper clip from the sense into a 12v point
3. This gives me 2 additional 8 pin plugs. 
4. Take 1 of these and solder them into a barrel plug. 12v & Grnd.
5. Take the other and plug it into a 8 to 2 8 splitters.
6. Plug 1 of these into my 970.
