I just got my pe4c v4.1 (m.2 key m) this morning and the m.2 cable is hard wired to the pcb, which is a total bummer i would have preferred it have that hdmi plug on it like the previous versions.  As for the gpu power, it comes with a wire that goes from the pe4c power out to the gpu. I will be using a atx power supply. What model nuc are you going to be using? I will be using a nuc6i7kyk. I dont have a gpu yet, so i will not be able to set it up, but forum user Mikegrok has already made it work with his skull canyon nuc.

First time poster here. I will be straightforward.. if I violated any rules let me know and I will fix it ASAP.

 

1. Is the M.2 to PE4C cable detachable? Because I am going to mod my NUC case in order to route the cable. Plus during a traveling I will need to detach the cable. 

2. How does the power system work?? So far I understand there are three types of input PE4C accepts: 12-19V 2.5/5.5, Special? 8-pin, and ATX. I would like to know how should I route all power cables in order to use the most optimal way and buy the right power supply. You might not have to type it all for me, if there is a manual available or someone has done it already, just point it out for me. 

3. Is there anyone already done a casing design around PE4C? 

 

Thanks for the help in advance. 

To clear up my question 2: is that 8-pin input a special one or just PCIE 12V? When I use that ATX input, what kind of cable routing should I make? ATX>PE4C? PE4C>GPU? ATX>GPU?

I will be able to answer that question tomorrow when the mail carrier gets here. Do you mind if i ask what model nuc? Im planning on using a nuc6i7kyk with a pe4c v4,1 to plug in to the m.2 key m slot for a egpu. Not sure how the power will be distributed yet either, but i did also get a 600w power supply (probably an overkill) to power it. I have yet to obtain a graphics card, so it will be a while before i can tell you how it works, but there is one forum user (Mikegrok) who has made it work with a skull canyon.

Installing the pe4c 4.1 in a skull canyon nuc I initially had x4 pcie1, but after bios update it changed to x4 pcie3.

Hey Mike,

Im thinking about getting one of these p4c 4.1 adapters for my nuc6i7kyk as well, have you got it to work? What do you mean by  initially x4 pcie1 after bios update x4 pcie3?
