  1. Alrighti... After painfully taking apart the whole laptop I redid the thermopaste. The chinese did a pretty rubbish job at applying the old paste in the first place.

    Anyways, the temperature dropped by about 20°C.

    New 3dmark06 score is 15212. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i5-2410M Processor,Dell Inc. 0YW3P2

    Slightly lower than what I used to have 2 years ago, mainly from the SM2 score. Despite the PCI speed improvement. Hmm...

  2. hi guys my new Pe4L is finally here. Unfortunately my Benchmark score is quite low. My Pe4H 3dmark06 score was about 15k (you can still see it in the leaderboard). My new score now is 12232. any ideas what might be causing the problem? In the egpu setup my 560 is also only listed as x1.1 instead of pci2.0. :/ :( In fact, I just redit the 3dmark06 test and got only 10800. Weird.

    edit: to make matters worse I seem to be getting error 12 now all the time and cant even chainload the card anymore. I already tried 32bit 32Abit compaction with various options but does not seem to help at all... :/

    edit 2: ok doing a 36bit compaction worked. I also set the g2 speed to 5gbps in the egpu setup... However, score is now 11343 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm06/17413345. So still quite far away from being 15k+ :( This is my original score with the Pe4H 2 years ago: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm06/15975981

    edit3: GPUZ confirmed the card is running in 2.0 x 1 under load. So at least that's working...

  3. hey guys im just about to buy a new PE4L, since my 2 year old Pe4H 1st gen is malfunctioning. Is there still the deal available somewhere where you get the eGPU setup with it? I still have it installed on my computer and could use it, but I don't have the install file around anymore. If I were to wipe my laptop or get a new one I'd like to have it available though for reinstall and don't want to fork out more dollars (it's 25 dollars now?) for the software.

  4. Sup guys,

    my old PE4H seems to be a bit defect (the power connector has gone black from heat/fire i guess and the device starts to malfunction a bit sometimes...) but I've been wanting to upgrade to a PCI 2.0 capable adapter this summer anyways.

    Any recommendations what to use? My laptop is pci 2.0 + optimus capable and so far I've been using the 2 year old PE2H + pci 1.0 optimus with a Nividia 560GT.

    Shall I just grab the new 3rd gen PE4L for 70 bucks?

  5. All new drivers will say Win8 but they work for Win7, too. You don't have to stay with 305.

    Is your Intel iGPU installed properly? Could you check if your eGPU works with some Desktop PC?

    yes, like i said, it works with the desktop drivers and the drivers with the modded infs from the old optimus thread. im gonna try the 309 win8 one.

  6. Sure there are modified inf files even for current beta 310.

    Try this one. Click on INF Modified and copy nvwi.inf to your mobile drivers "Display.Driver" folder.

    I got win 7 so picked the 305 version of the driver for win7, but the problem is that my gpu won't engage when its installed. As soon as I install the desktop driver i had before it engages again (during install). :-/

  7. I solved my problem by uninstalling the graphics driver, and installing the newest one from nvidia (306.97). Saying that, there is no hacked inf available for this one, but I read somewhere that Optimus is included now with the desktop drivers? Doesnt look to me like optimus is running (no icon in the traybar) and i dont have 3dmark on my computer right now to check if optimus is engaged. I obviously can't install any verde drivers without a modded inf since these are for laptops only...

  8. hi guys, i got a problem with my egpu (first time in over a year :/)

    This morning while working my computer screen just went black and it looked like the gpu was gonna disengage (my laptopscreen brieflyflickered with the main screen image, but then it stayed black too). No big deal I thought. Now whenever I start and want to chainload the egpu to the OS I get a bluescreen (System Service exeption) after the gpu tries to engage. The laptop itself works fine without trying to use the egpu. Already did another 32bit compaction but i dont think thats the issue. :/
