sylvannia1 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Hi everyone, I followed this guide for my macbook air 2013 with a gtx 660. Exactly the same and everything has been flawless. Recently i upgrade to windows 8.1 and my egpu cannot be read by my macbook. It doesnt show up in device manager and when i try to install nvidia drivers it says it cannot continue because no gpu is detected. What should i do? Would i have to follow a different guide/get different parts? Or is it a software issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arise Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 A good start point would be to start reading the FAQ. It did miracles in some cases. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauwomos Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I'm running exactly the same specs except that I have the 13" version rather than the 11". When i'm doing step 9 of part c, using eGPU Setup 1.3, i get an error "[MBR2] Chainloading failed!! If using MBR2 mode try MBR instead. Press any key to reboot . . .". Any idea what I'm doing wrong and what I can do to fix this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea what I'm doing wrong and what I can do to fix this? ThanksChange from MBR2 to MBR mode. Do that by either selecting Chainloader->mode.MBR2 in the menu-based setup, or run c:\eGPU\eGPU-setup-mount, edit v:\config\startup.bat and change "call chainload MBR2" to be "call chainload MBR".

jezkovivoci Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 ...or Corsair CX430 offers 12V/32A (384W) of peak power, enough for ALL current video cards. Hey. Provides this power supply (Corsair CX430) enough power for GTX 770? (IMNoobO : Theoretically yes) Was searching "implementation guide" for gtx770 or equivalent, and everybody has 500w~750w PSU. So I would appreciate direct answer, thanks! edit: Thanks Dschijn for fast respond and enlightenment about connectors. 2x molex to 6-pin will do that work.

Dschijn Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Yes it is enough. Just be aware that it is just providing 1 x 6+2-Pin and you might need a splitter cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezkovivoci Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Can I use 2x molex to 6-pin(or another splitter) with CX430M without any risk or I should get 500 version instead (with 2x 6+2pin)? = 12 € difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
