Hey @gerald ! I just got my adapter today Ty! But I'm having some trouble, im using a rx470 card with a 600w psu.

 

Card is not being detected by windows.

When i power the laptop, the card fans blow for 2 sec then stops, but card lights stay powered on.

Im using 3.07 oficial bios, retail uefi grub dualboot w8.1 - debian

Bios setup is in Legacy mode

 

Any insights? @Tesla @David 'SOAP' Washington @Kuneroll @Swung Huang

Looks like the problem was in PSU.

Any one have had trouble with a modular psu? I swapped psu to a 600w regular one (from a 700w modular) and it worked.

Btw, im using 3 monitor setup. (Internal, VGA output, and eGPU hdmi output). When i put some weight on gpu (cinebench) there are signal degradation in VGA laptop output. Any one have had experienced this?

Yet, there is this guide, which claims among other things the usage of AMD eGPUs with the internal screen.

Thats an interesting guide. Unfortunately im waiting for @gerald on paypal data to buy the adaptor. Maybe @Bos Maior or @Kuneroll or even @Tesla can try it on their systems. Btw,  @Swung Huang ty for clarification. So when you guys say that internal screen doesnt work, are you referring to gaming performance, more exactly that internal screen cant use egpu resources, right?

Update: Still havent gotten the egpu setup. Havent had time. But currently on a single 750m and the cache overclocked to 4.0 and the cores overclocked to 4.2/4.2/4.2/4.2 for all single and multi core operations. Rocm solid stable and no throttling of any sort. Ill try and post up a benchmark for easy test comparison since crysis runs extremely hot compared to most benchmarks. I just run crysis since if it can survive crysis it can survive anything.

Solid alienware killer now. 

On cpubenchmark.com running their test the single core performance of the machine is 2400 vs the 1700 the i5 scored. 2nd highest speed on their chart too. Laptop boots in about 9 seconds now and everything is very instantaneous.

Quite a bit late here. But im wondering (if you still hv your lenovo) how do you apply the additional thermal paste (Modified/repasted heat sink )  to increase cooling? Maybe do you have some pictures?  And what do you mean with "Main fan un-shrouded" and "Main fan on/off switch (for 100% speed)" Ty!

Sorry to hear about your GTX 780!

I like the Radeon software, especially since it doesn't require you to sign up to NVIDIA's telemetry programme.

@Bos Maior I did take all night reading the entire thread, but im still confused at something. Some guys here said that own laptop's screen doesnt work when using an AMD card, but some of your post (and @Kuneroll s) show a 3 screen setup working, including the internal one with a AMD card right? I ask that as i hv a RX 470 Nitro boxed here. Ty!

Yeah actually the way I have it is one 256gb m.2 ssd for OS and two 1TB sata hdds in raid0. Just so to reduce the loading times in games. And as you said free USB ports.

How are you doing this Tesla? I mean, theres a normal SATA port, a mSATA (at ultrabay side), and the m2 port right? But how are you supporting the HDD connected to the msata port when you need to keep connecting-disconnecting gerald's adaptor? Another question: What m2 drive are you using? I´ve read that only certain models are allowed in that slot. Ty!

Hi,

it depends.

If you want an eBay sell, it will cost €70,- and €25,- for int. shipping. You can buy it direct via PayPal and save €10,- 

 

 

Hey gerald, it is possible to use your adapter simultaneously with the sata HDD, or some frankenstein would be needed?

yep. If 20 or more people want them, I will sell them.

Add me to the list.

hi

i just wanted to let you know guys that I've just fleshed the new 3.08 moded bios proved by: @High_Voltage 

I'm using it with an AMD Sapphire RX480 Nitro+ and its more stable then before. With bios 2.07 i sometimes had greeenscreen/blackscreen while playing games like: overwatch, PUBG and had to hardreset it because it stoped reponding. But now its gone thanks to you guys.

 

Ps: i had problem (DOS memory buffer 2 allocate failed) while fleshing the EC with freedos so i downloaded Rufus 1.1.7 and made a portable MSDOS on win7 (win10  doesent support this option just freedos) after that everything went fine :))

@QDIRHow are you going with that RX480 setup? Can you use laptops own screen, or just The gpu outputs? Btw, if you disconnect the adaptor (due to some travel or anything) you hv to go into bios to re enable video? And what about your gaming? TY!

@Swung Huang Are you planning to sell your adaptor's version? 

I came kind of late to  this, but is @geraldstill selling those adaptors?
