XCSOURCE EXP GDC Laptop External Independent Video Card PCI-E Graphics Card for Beast Dock Mini PCI-E AC774

Product Information

When i start to run my laptop, the GPU fans started to spin but in a few seconds stopped, the start up was normal and the desktop loaded and i opened the device manager, there was only 2 display adapters, the Intel hd 620 and the nvidia 940mx (dedicated), the eGPU was not recognized and everything seems normal like no new devices, then i touched to plug a little more but the GPU was starting to heat, no spinning but heating, i installed the drivers manually and shut down, when i look the fans by a little moment it spinned just a little before the laptop were completely off. The built-in sets + alone models: 1/ is set to UMA in BIOS Graphic Device (Graphic Mode set to Integrated), 2/ Boot to LAN (Network PXE Boot) is set to Disabled. The EG200 is also oversized if a smaller (ie; shorter length) video card is to be used, hence my idea for configurable length chassis.

However, if I shutdown or restarted with the TH3P4 connected, both BIOS and Windows would report slow charging from the device. If you plan to go that round, either find a notebook that has a Thunderbolt port, or run the Mini PCIe version of this adapter (though I don’t recommend that, because you have to keep the laptop disassembled and it defeats the purpose or portability). Some of the listings im seeing for the dock have a little adapter for a pcie power input and a 24 pin to jump the PSU to start. About compability, go to the product page and scroll your mice to the bottom then you can find "Support List:" laptop.

An optional 120mm or 140mm fan can be secured to the front chassis with 4x PC fan screws and connected to a molex power cable. With the GPU running at peak load with a mild overclock and 120% power target and no laptop charging, I saw the power meter at AC/Mains peak at ~270 watts. I flashed the bios to put the most recent version but nothing in the settings allowing me to disable the internal card. And I really needed some extra UMPH for graphic design and video editing at home… and some light gaming.

Either by disassembling or via the laptop’s manual, take note if your laptop comes equipped with a mini PCI-E port.i am a dangerous person to gadgets if i happen to hold on a screwdriver, i am eager to disassemble, learn, and modify almost any tech stuff.

You wont really get maximum performance out of anything, pcie x1 is really limiting to even the weakest of cards. The power of this interface, you can use 1 special DELL 220W, 2, can be matched with ATX cable using the ATX power to support external graphics power, soft switching function. the mini pcie bandwidth is not as high as the pcie x16 therefore, if you choose a high end graphic card, it won't be able to give you it's maximum performance.

Often times, it can be as simple as removing a single flap to gain access to your mini PCI-E port or you will need to undo the entire underside of your laptop. In the event that you do need additional power the adapter has a connector for a floppy drive power connector. The included instruction manual stated that “if charging is required, do not connect Thunderbolt Port 2”, however I was able to maintain normal charging with a daisy chained device. With the laptop disconnected, idle power drawn from AC/Mains was ~2W because the PSU fan continued to run even with no load. My desktop PC is nothing special, its something I’ve upgraded modestly over the years and currently has an AMD Ryzen R5 3600, 32GB 3200MT/s ram, and a Radeon RX 6600 GPU.some laptop owners are lucky since the location of the WLAN card is easy to reach while some others don't.

With all necessary connections secured, you can now go ahead and press the Power button on your laptop. Hello, i have a lenovo with an Intel i5 7200U and Nvidia gt 940mx dedicated and intel hd 620 integrated, the connector to the Exp Gdc that i'm using is an NGFF version.I tried a game (Rainbow Six) to see if the GPU run the fans or something but only detect the dedicated graphic card, then i shut down again. Interestingly, though, I later tried a more powerful graphics card, but I was not able to get any more performance out of the setup. For solving the conflict due to the soft hardware equipment can not be normal use, by default the switch is located on the left side of the OFF state. My last Nvidia GPU was a Riva TNT2 that I purchased in 1999 to learn OpenGL, but I mainly used it to play Quake III.
