No problem. You haven't wasted any time of mine (yet). Regarding the modification, I'd strongly recommend you to get the resistor desoldered if your teacher has access to soldering equipment (simply because you can always solder it back later if something goes wrong).

 

Anyway, good luck with the mod and please report back whether it worked.

Thank you and sure i will report how things went.

You have correctly identified the resistor, but the track you selected is not connected to the resistor and cutting it would render the adapter unusable. I've marked the correct one for you with an orange cross.

Alright, thank you for your help and sorry for wasting your time. I have one last question for now: Should i cut at the cross you just showed me or should i ask my IT teacher at school to help me remove the resistor itself. Which one do you recommend?

There is a very very small chance it would work on modified V2.07 BIOS (which I'd have to make). However, it's so much faster to just cut the track on the pcb with something sharp.

Im not very into these things but if im not mistaken the resistor we are talking about is the thing i circled with orange. But you saying if i cut the adapter where i put a red line it will work just fine?

Sorry, didn't notice your edit straight away...

 

As far as I'm aware, the only difference between the two versions of the adapter is the pull-down resistor on #CLKREQ (middle one in the vertical column of three near the ultrabay connector). In the version 3 of the adapter it is changed from 1k to 10k. But let me tell you, removing it completely will have exactly the same effect. Your adapter will work with this BIOS mod afterwards.

Do you think i can make it to work without replacing or removing anything?

Thank you very much for your hard work.

Is there a way with this mod to use the internal display?

Also i have a slightly older adapter but i havent used it since amd prices were up in the sky. but i would appreciate it a lot if you can tell me if i can use a GTX 1050 Ti on my older adapter.  I own a 2nd generation adapter as far as i know

Get one off E-Bay? There are sellers elsewhere in the EU who offer an 570 for less than that.

Yes but it isnt cheaper that much in the EU. Also if i order 1 from ebay it might gets tolled at the border.

On the other hand, spending this much on a card that started at 250 dollars is kind of a heartbreak

Probably not, unless the maker's made a new discovery s/he hasn't shared with the rest of the community yet. The problem is that the computer checks whether an NVIDIA card plugged into the Ultrabay is of the same type as the one soldered onto the motherboard as SLI otherwise won't work. If the NVIDIA card is of another type the computer will refuse to function.

 

This problem doesn't exist with AMD cards, provided you use the most recent version of Gerald's adapter or use the older version of the adapter along with an appropriate version of the BIOS.

The problem is that currenctly the price of GPUs, especiall AMD ones are unbeliveable. I'd gladly invest into an RX 570 or 580 but at the moment their prices in hungary starts at about 650 dollars. Meanwhile I can get a 6GB 1060 for about 500 dollars. :/

Share a mod from other man with you guys , Ultrabay Adaptor & Sata3 box.

Finally, it can be locked in, and won't be plug out by accident anymore.

This thing does not have nvidia support either am i right?

Hello,

Does this adapter work with an RX 580?
