Likewise the guy above me, sorry to bring up an old thread.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I can't help but reply. I'm seriously impressed someone beat me to making an eGPU for the Y700. However, I noticed that the M.2 port is getting 2.0 rather than 3.0 transfer speeds. Might this thread help? It's a guide for modifying the BIOS in order to support PCIe bus speeds of the 3rd generation. 

This is indeed an important info, though I find one more important thing to notice. @frozentax used PE4C v4.1, which only supports speed up to Gen2.

The PE4C V4.1 is designed for Notebook PCs that converts PCI Express 16X Add-on Card to M.2 Card or 
PCIe x4 connecter with up to Gen2 speed.
