Thank you @MVC

 

I'll try this today and report back.

 

edit: it did not work, unfortunately. 

Thanks @Hedge

 

No, I don't have the eGPU plugged into an external monitor. It's plugged into TB Bus 1 currently. I tried Bus 0 and Bus 2 also. 

 

Are you using an eGPU with a 2013 Mac Pro?

 

BTW I have two displays - one running over HDMI (23" Cinema) and one using Thunderbolt. 

Hello fellow eGPU enthusiasts.

 

This is my first post after weeks of reading and studying different threads.

 

I have as the title suggests, a 2013 Mac Pro and I'm trying to get a TITAN X working in my Akitio Thunder2 setup.

 

I have tried pretty much everything I believe and I'm sure it's something really silly and simple I've overlooked.

 

Here's where I'm up to:

 

Erased SSD

Fresh install of El Capitan + all security updates installed.

Disabled SIP

Downloaded and ran @goalque's script (thanks for automating the process)

TITAN X is recognised and the script runs fine.

Reboot

I get to the Apple boot screen with the progress bar - it goes a third of the way and then stops.

Machine hangs.

Have to press and hold the power button to shut down.

 

This suggests a kernel panic to me.

 

I disconnect the eGPU and turn on - OS X boots as expected.

 

eGPU is powered by a Be Quiet 650W Power Zone PSU using a Phobya ATX-bridging plug. I am using a twin molex to barrel plug (non-solder method) to power the Thunder2.

 

 

I would appreciate any help and if you need further information from me, just let me know. I'd love to get this thing up and running!

 

Cheers,
Andy
