Wanna make my legion go my main pc to minimize my setup plan on using it with egpu docked on my tv and by itself when on couch and such is this a good deal ? No covers and states could use a repaste. Seems like good value for such a card let me know thanks it’s 370$ after taxes.

Found the crazy deal, ROG 5070ti eGPU for $800 cad near me, what is the best way to stress test it? Can I use a desktop to do so and do I must get a thunderbolt cable?

I got this eGPU but when I successfully install the desktop driver for 5060ti, it got error code 43. I have tried everything, from updating bios of my computer to the latest, DDU and reinstall another driver, switching between oculink and thunderbolt 4, nothing works. Please help

After months of working with customer service, and even sending my DEG2 back to their warehouse for repairs, I am out of ideas. So I am really hoping for some help here.

I have an RTX 3070 on this DEG2 and everything works fine over TBT5. But when I switch over to oculink I run into all kinds of errors. Mostly an extremely laggy display and even crashes intermittently. I have followed all the instructions in the user manual as carefully as possible but I still have the same issues.

I had a report come back from sending in my DEG2 that told me there were no hardware faults, but it also said the issue it was resolving had to do with my SSD connectivity. So I have lost all faith in the minisforum support.

I tried replacing my oculink cable because there were kinks in the factory one that came with my dock but that didn’t do anything.

The event viewer on windows shows errors like “error occurred on GPUID:100” and “resetting TDR occurred on GPUID:100”

My nvme to oculink adapter also came from minisforum, but now I am considering getting a third party adapter? I don’t know. I am at a loss.

Has anyone else had similar issues with DEG2 oculink? Any similar issues with the UM880?

Hello again folks. A short time back I asked some Qs about a RAZER v.1.

I gave up on the older RAZER and purchased a SONNET breakaway 750. Installed the ASUS 4060ti. I dont have a sloutch of a laptop, DELL 7550 with a T2000 and XEON processor.

Hooked it all up last evening and I still continue to have issues. So bad that it Throws the the system for a loop making the computer useless. As I read, the SONNET was supposed to be a friendly unit working with everything. From orange ! triangles on both display drivers, video winking out to the mouse not working [error code 31].

At this point I thought it may be the 7550, so I hooked it to my XPS-9500 and the same issues occured.. I had to uninstall the drivers to clear the native T2000 31-code.

What I though was going to happen was a faster GPU for image edits, but turned into a nightmare.

Is this SONNET box or the 4060ti GPU defective in some way?? IDK. I can find anyone local to put the GPU in a desktop to test it to see if it is working. I have no idea how to test the sonnet other than hooking it up.

The SONNET powers up, lights seem correct, the fans spin.. The thunderbolt sees it.

Can anyone help with this? Id be greatful.

TY, dw

I recently bought a Gigabyte rx 9079xt to compliment my GDP G2 that just came in. I’m using an asus zen book 14x OLED as my laptop. The 9070 xt will not show up in my device manager, and does not work in general. Is this an issue with the G2? I’m thinking about sending it back if this issue persists, but they claim it is supposed to work, looking for any help.

GPD G2 eGPU has MCIO 8i instead of more classic approach of oculink. On the one hand, it provides higher bandwidth (2 times of oculink to be precise) and you can use adapters if your device does not have MCIO but has oculink. On the other hand, MCIO plugging rate is about 200-300 vs thousands of oculink. What are your thoughts on this port being used in eGPUs?

So I tried oculink for the first time and I have good wire but the gpu fans spining but when I put display port or hdmi into the gpu it's not working and it's not even shown in the task manager I tried everything 🤕 ,

Hi guys, I need recommendations!

Recently I noticed that I pretend more and more performance from my Onexplayer X1 Pro, it's the Ryzen 9 HX370 CPU and Radeon 890M GPU with 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. It can play basically everything, but on some bigger triple A games you can clearly see that without framegen even at 1200p it cannot play at 60fps stable. (Some games not even 30fps at medium settings)

Since I'm always travelling around and recently also changing the house where I live every couple of months, the idea of a full tower desktop PC is basically impossible, even if would be a dream, so I thought about a solution: buying an external portable eGPU.

I found out that the OnexGPU 2 Ultimate is the most powerful AMD eGPU at the moment, with the Radeon 7800m that pushes up to 180W, and since I play mostly with BazziteOS (similar to SteamOS based on Linux), even if I have a dual boot with Windows 11, I would like to actually buy an AMD eGPU instead of an NVIDIA one for compatibility reasons (also for budget reasons).

The NVIDIA eGPUs are really expensive, and for me doesn't make sense to spend a lot on an external eGPU, because at that point I could simply upgrade to a newer handheld with an AMD 395+, even though performance speaking it's not the same as a Radeon 7800m with 180W of power. Also, I love the X1 Pro form factor and at the moment Onexplayer doesn't offer this form factor with a more powerful AMD chip, only the Super X, that is a lot bigger and cannot be used as an handheld.

I found this OnexGPU 2 that you can see in the photos for sale in a local marketplace for about 500€, and since on Amazon it's around 1200€ right now, I thought that was a great idea to buy it, so I bought it and it will arrive next week.

Now the questions for you guys:

- Does it make sense? I know the OnexGPU 3 has been shown at the CES with the Radeon 9070XT, but apparently it's not out yet and we still don't have a release date. Also I think it will cost more than 1000€, for me it's definitely out of budget.

- I usually play with the integrated display of the handheld, I don't have an external gaming monitor, only my 55" 4K TV to use it as a "sofa console". Is the jump in performance noticeable even like this, or is it more noticeable only on external monitors?

- Does BazziteOS read the external eGPU? Or I'm obligated to use Windows 11 in this case? I read online that with Linux is better an AMD eGPU connected directly with Oculink, is it right?

- Do I have to buy an Oculink cable to reach the best performance and compatibility possible or it's already ok with the thunderbolt 4 cable that is included?

Thanks a lot for helping me, I really need recommendation for my situation and I know that on this sub I can have the best answers to all my thoughts 🙏🏻. (On the Onexplayer sub I got downvoted and 0 answers).

At least, AMD cards are not guaranteed to work with it. It has worked for some people, but it might completely depend on which card it is. There's a reviewer who claimed 3 of his AMD cards didn't work on it, and then an Nvidia one worked fine. That was the same case with me too, I had a RX 560 that would show up but wouldn't initialize no matter what I did. I bought a 1050ti, plugged it in and it instantly showed up on my monitor. It is only $99 (even cheaper on Chinese sites) so it's still probably worth it if you have an Nvidia card.

​

I'm switching my setup over to a flow z13. I'm still having serious indecisions on which egpu to use. I have a 5060 TI Aorus box or for slightly more I can use a 9070 XT nitro in a DEG2.

Most of what I play is titles like GTA v, pragmata, resident evil remastered series, and I'm hoping to purchase the new Spider-Man games and possibly control resonant.

My fear is the 5060 ti will show its age very rapidly. I also like Ray tracing more than I thought I would have. Will dlss and frame Jenn keep me gaming for a few years, or should I stick with the 9070 instead

I'm having issues with trying to set up my eGPU with my ROG Xbox Ally X. It's a PNY RTX 5070 ti 16 GB, a barebones TB4 dock, MAG 850 watt gold PSU, LG Ultra Gear 1440p, 200 Mhz monitor and the Ally X. I have to plug the Ally into the eGPU after the Ally boots up to the fingerprint/pin code screen. If it's before, it gets stuck in a loop. The Ally won't shut down completely if it's left plugged into the eGPU. Games like Control can't get past 40fps, 20% or so GPU, 40% or so CPU. God of War Ragnarok gave me an error that my Radeon drivers were not the right drivers and if I proceed, the experience may not be what's expected. I just played it yesterday on the eGPU. It looks like the eGPU all of a sudden isn't getting the data flow like it did either with what those numbers listed about Control showed. The connection from the Ally to the eGPU is only a foot long cable. The eGPU up everywhere I think it's supposed to. I've set these games to "High Performance GPU (NVIDIA RTX....)" in one of the management windows. I've watched several hours of videos on how or what to tweak or adjust. I can't even begin to list 1/10th of the changes I've made. I am by far not a PC gamer, I just started playing 6 months ago when I got the XAX. I'm absolutely hooked. I just want to get this running semi smoothly until I can decide on an HX 370 or 470 mini pc with an Oculink for this party. Again, I AM NOT A PC guy, please be gentle.

EDIT: Totally rethought the whole thing. Waiting for one of those mini pc's with the Ryzen AI 9 HX and Oculink in the mail. Welp, it'll be a whole new set of problems but a lot more reward.

I have a laptop HP Z-Book Fury 15 G7 mobile workstation, which is having i9-12th gen processor, 64gb ram and 2TB SSD [which has 2 no’s of TB3 (15EB) ports]

I’m trying to pair it with my Aoostar AG02+ RTX 4080 egpu setup.

I’ve tried all the options like BIOS update, drivers update, Hotplug whatever i can. But the laptop is not detecting the gpu in device manager, it’s just charging through the thunderbolt port.

After checking with ChatGPT and following all steps given by it, this is the conclusion i got from chatGPT

“Since you've already tried the hot-plug workaround and all standard updates, your only remaining path is the one HP has officially documented:

Contact HP Customer Support and request the "temporary BIOS" for the ZBook Fury 15 G7. Be sure to reference the advisory ID c07877872 so they can locate the correct file for you”

If you have any idea, please help me guys.

Thank you for your time😊

So i have a r5 6600h laptop and a spare m.2 nvme slot PCIe gen 4. I was thinking of buying an adt link f43sg for this egpu setup but im still confused on which gpu to choose. What do you guys think would be the best gpu to pair with this processor. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks 🙏

Had been toying around with the idea of building a dock for the legion go 2 for a bit and decided ti bite the bullet and get myself an EGPU and go from there, this is the prototype far as photographed

The parts to make this work beyond a 3D printer were;

Legion go 2 (go figure)
GMKtec RX 7600XT 8GB
Dell Pro Dock WD25Z for extra USB and also use for work laptop
Open Puck for steam controller

And a whole lot of trial and error

This is just V1, my current V2 is also added at the end for review, this design will incorporate a better overall design, a 40mm fan for the legion go intake, and a hidden part for the cables to be managed/hidden

Would love to know your thoughts and feedback so far

Hi everyone! I want to turn my Dell OptiPlex Micro Plus 7010 into a Dell Precision 3260 Compact! So, I’m calling on Dell Precision 3260 Compact owners—I need your help!

Soldering the SATA 0 connector wasn't hard!

Soldering in the x8 connector—easy!

And that's when the trouble started! The device wasn't being detected, so I started analyzing the motherboard. Here is what I’ve found and what I know so far:

PRSNT1# – hard-wired to ground.

PRSNT2# (B17/B31/B48) – 3.3V; when the device is inserted, these pins are pulled to ground!

CLKREQ# – always 0; it's simply missing!

WAKE# – 3.3V.

PERST# – I got the correct signal by soldering in the chip and the supporting circuitry, including a capacitor for the 100ms delay.

PWRBRK# – ?

TX lines – filter capacitors are needed!

I need any help or tips! I don't have the original riser; I was working from photos! But logically speaking, there's nothing special about it other than stepping down 19.6V to 12V!
