arqueiro Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Hello everyone, I need some help in order to make my setup work right now I have a Lenovo X220t with this configuration: Intel i7 16GB RAM DDR3 1866 (but I still have the 8gb original one) SSD Samsung Video Board: Nvidia GT 730 I got this eGPU adaptor: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/EXP-GDC-Laptop-External-Independent-Video-Card-Dock-with-PCI-E-Interface-Black/32456172794.html That I'm connecting interior PCIe Slot, I'm also have installed the lastest the Advanced Whitelisted Bios (1.40). But I can get it to work, I already installed the DIY eGPU menu but it could recognize any eGPU as well. I'm also not using an PC energy supply since this is a low end Video Board, I'm just using an external 12v 1.5 A power supply.. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, should I maybe be connecting it with a PCIexperss Card adapter or something? any help ? thanks in advance!

Do you see what your problem is? You need more power. Either use a 12V brick with more amperage or simply find an ATX PSU. You should be able to find one used for $15 on the local classifieds.

arqueiro Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 thank you very much for your reply, the reason I didn't use one in the first place is that I read around that you don't need one if you video board is 60w or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arqueiro Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 i just got a 300w PSU, still don't work... I just don't know what else to do.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arqueiro Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 I figure out something I was doing wrong: looks like I was connecting in the wrong Mini PCIe. Not I disconnected the wifi board and connected the EXP GDC, but still not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure the 4-pin CPU (2 black, 2 yellow) connector is plugged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3RYL Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Would you have a way to test the GPU to check if it's working correctly? Or find a way to test the adapter on another computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arqueiro Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Quote I think test it in other computer would be the best option but I don't have where to do it now, I will keep trying thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arqueiro Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 13 hours ago, Arbystrider said: Details? So, still the same: the computer is working fine, it turns on, but I cant detect any eGPU on windows on on that other DOS software. - If I turn the laptop on with out a power supply I just got a black screen. - If I turn the PSU on the blue LED on the eGPU adaptor goes on, but the eGPU is not dectectd by windows. - If I turn the EGPU adaptor on, without the Video board, it does not detect the USB drive (this adaptor has a USB port on it. I don't know what to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Tech Inferno Fan Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Some options: Try the other mPCIe slot. Reset BIOS to original settings. Reseat everything. Edited June 3, 2016 by Arbystrider Nomenclature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
