So... its a good thing that they are selling it seperately, right? Anyway you can have x2/x4 speed with the m2 ngff cable instead of the x1 of the mPCIe port so if money is not a problem you should consider buying the cable.

Several people have successfully setup the 1050ti with Expresscard eGPU adapter, so you sould be safe after DSDT override to get rid of error 12. Just remember try older driver first,

Well you could buy the m2 ngff version of the beast

It could be some PSU problem, and you don't need to install nvidia driver to check if it already detect cause it will show as unknown graphic controller of something like that in the device manager even without the driver.

ASUS laptop used to not having anykind of mpcie whitelisting, also since you are using 368.81 you can put the "hotplug" problem aside since it will never occur on that version, so you can safely eliminate them while troubleshooting the issue.

It quite easy to determine which Root Port hosting your physical mPCIe port, by having it original device (WLAN card for example) inside it and using Device manager to cross check the device ID with HWiNFO, or maybe HWiNFO already show which port it is while having your WLAN card installed.

Looking forward to that, keep us updated,

Did you try 372.70 yet?

I doubt it since the variable offset is vary for each bioses, I never really take a good look at DIY anyway.

@xzknightzx I think I got a working solution however I'm unable to test it and make sure so please do everything below as your own risk: First let take a look at the IFR of the Hot Plug option of the Root Port 3: 0x2402C Setting: Hot Plug, Variable: 0x358 {05 91 78 07 79 07 C8 03 01 00 58 03 10 10 00 01 00} 0x2403D Option: Disabled, Value: 0x0 {09 07 36 06 30 00 00} 0x24044 Option: Enabled, Value: 0x1 {09 07 35 06 00 00 01} 0x2404B End of Options {29 02} What we got from this is the state of the option is store in a variable - 0x358 - so all we need to do, is change it state from Disable (0x0) to Enable (0x1), so here is how to do so: Good luck if you decided to take the risk XD Sources of information:

I'm still learning on modding bios (mostly just asus so let learn more about dell), so let me put in some of the stuffs I have figure out on your bios: Here is the full IFR of the setup module: https://a.pomf.cat/tsslli.txt Below is the part of the menu tab: 0x187C6 Form: Setup, Form ID: 0x2715 {01 86 15 27 06 00} 0x187CC Ref: Main, Variable: 0xFFFF {0F 0F 08 00 02 00 25 00 00 00 FF FF 00 16 27} 0x187DB Ref: Advanced, Variable: 0xFFFF {0F 0F 1D 00 02 00 26 00 00 00 FF FF 00 17 27} 0x187EA Ref: Chipset, Variable: 0xFFFF {0F 0F 1E 00 02 00 27 00 00 00 FF FF 00 1A 27} 0x187F9 Ref: Security, Variable: 0xFFFF {0F 0F 2D 00 02 00 28 00 00 00 FF FF 00 1B 27} 0x18808 Ref: Boot, Variable: 0xFFFF {0F 0F 1F 00 02 00 29 00 00 00 FF FF 00 1C 27} 0x18817 Ref: Save & Exit, Variable: 0xFFFF {0F 0F 40 00 02 00 2A 00 00 00 FF FF 00 1E 27} 0x18826 End Form {29 02} Your Root Port 3 Hot Plug part: 0x2402C Setting: Hot Plug, Variable: 0x358 {05 91 78 07 79 07 C8 03 01 00 58 03 10 10 00 01 00} 0x2403D Option: Disabled, Value: 0x0 {09 07 36 06 30 00 00} 0x24044 Option: Enabled, Value: 0x1 {09 07 35 06 00 00 01} 0x2404B End of Options {29 02} I'm still unable to find the variable making the chipset availaible to user (asus bios was just an array of boolean), its appears that to show chipset menu we have to manually edit every "Suppress If" value and that is beyond me (for now). Basically if any one have a better understanding of how the module in hex (not me sr) could hard set the optimal value of the Hot Plug variable then repack it with UEFITool, its should work. I spent way too many time on this instead of my upcoming exam so I cannot dig any further, but if someone know how to change these hex value correctly please guide us.
