Amazingly detailed, thank you :) you're even using the PCIe 4.0 compatible one that the other guides don't seem to use. Just what I needed!
ur most welcome my friend
love it ...great way to use a much more powerful gpu with a descent laptop. I find alot of laptops have good cpus but it lacks in gpu. due to the cost .so having this is perfect way to keep your laptop up to date using a much more powerful gpu ❤❤
That s a perfect tutorial my friend, i am so glad i found your video, thank you so much.
ur so welcome thank u .I appreciate u
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I plan to use a 24 GB Tesla P40 card for a deep learning project.
i am not too sure tbh... as I haven't done it this way... but I don't think it's enough to reconsider completely
Is it possible to use thundebolt4 and be able to plug and unplug the laptop for portability
Did you have to change something in the window bios before doing the egpu? Or did you just install the egpu and it just works straight of the bat?
Also why do we need to out the 4 pin to the cpu?
shoudl work right off the bat, and u may not need the cpu connector
And how it is about efficiency in video games ? Do slot m.2 have good bandwich ? Are you recomended connect egpu by m.2 slot or wifi card slot ?
m.2 share lanes with pcie which is faster
Do you need to download motherboard drivers dont windows come with the ones you need lan driver and audio ? or just only gpu drivers ?
it runs off tour laptop so no mobo drivers needed ..just gpu drivers as shown
From tiktok
Do you mean you came From watching me on tiktok
Really cool! I guess it makes it less complicated if you didnt use another nvidia for an egpu. Because nvidia has a desktop and a mobile drive so having 2 nvidia would cause some problems. The dgpu has to be disavled for the egpu if thats the case
yes but with laptops what they have done is enabled both integrated and external gpus so it can be used in sync ..how this works is ..wen it needs the extra graphics it will use the external gpu ..that's why with newer laptops u see 2 gpus in task manager
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ I see wouldn't that cause some lower performance? That's why laptops have a mux switch to deactivate it's igpu for it to only use it's dgpu for pure performance. But yeah hopefully adding a egpu nvidia with a dgpu nvidia won't cause any problems since newer gen laptops are more smarter. I've seen older gen laptops cause so many errors with egpu and the same for its thunderbolt too.
@scottb9231 yes newer laptops are smarter then old school ones ..but in the end if u want pure just disable it
I have a question i want to do a egpu in for my mini pc beelink ser5 can i do it? I seen Other UA-cam video doing it and i want to play Smooth on my mini.
yes u can if u have seen it u can. do it too
@MIKEYZVLOGZ alright I will do it 👍
After install drivers for amd gpu it automaticly start works with laptop or you have to switch something in BIOS. Cos you got anyway two graphics cards right now. One external and one inside laptop.
yes u also should check in device manager make sure it's reading and u can disable the laptop gpu so it will only read the egpu
Does it work with laptop that have their own dedicated gpu ? Also this is oculink right since it use m.2 slot , how is this compare to thunderbolt4 connection?
yes my laptop have dedicated and integrated 3050 but I use this so can use more powerful gpu
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ my laptop have 3050 too but I wanna try this😂
I don't have any ssd.only one hdd.but have ngff m.2 slot for wifi and Bluetooth.
Can i install this?
And maybe I'll have rx5500 xt gpu
honestly I'm not sure if m.2 ngff will read this...
If I got Lenovo Lenovo Legion Y520 and M.2 nvme PCIe 3.0x4 slot so the ADT R43SG-TU 4.0 it should be works/ fit ? Cos I dont know which adapter I should to buy. There are too many of them. They write it fit to PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 ?
yes pcie.40m is backward compatible with pcie 3.0 so u can still use it .. I would just get pcie 4.0 so it ready if u ever need to goto 4.0
thank you for answer
@dawidwyborski3753 no worries buddy
I have heard you should disable the laptop gpu so all processing goes to the egpu? How true is this?
u can ... but newer laptop have a dual gpu design I think where it's smart enough to use integrated for simpler tasks and external wen needed...don't quote me on that
do I need to config something on the bios?, I have Asus vivobook X515 version. My bios version is something like American megatrends, and my worries what if I need to config something on bios, and I know my bios doesn't have that much option.
it should just work out of the box mate. of anything change the pciq x16 gen or version... of your running pcie 3.0 gpu then select it accordingly ..apart from that that's all u need to do
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ thank you!
I have a really old hp 430 probook g3 will this also work ? Some advice is kindly appreciated 😊
it should work still do u have an m.2 slot
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ yeah this has a m.2 slot on this laptop 💻 no thunderbolt 3 or usb c connections available though, I’m still in the early stages of trying to procure the right parts for this Project.
@jl285 ahh I see how will u run Windows
Yeah it’s running off an internal hard drive plus there’s an extra slot empty it’s noted down as m2.5x2.5
@@jl285 that's fine then it will work
Hello sir, so basically, if I don't have an external monitor, the display will be on the laptop, and it will use the dedicated gpu?
YES
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ do u have to connect a hdmi in this case?
@teaminvest1397 no if your still using your laptop screen u don't need hdmi to connect... because u are using your laptop monitor.. u only connect hdmi or dp. if your using an external monitor...it reads through the m.2 connection
what if my laptop has thunderbolt 3 port and i connect external nvme slot through it and connect my egpu to that. will it work?
yes 100% thunderbolt is designed to run external nvme so that's great
It wont burn my motherboard, right?
Also, I have Asus tuf a15(2021) ryzen 4800h Octacore, GTX 1660ti
Are you sure sir that the supply won't burn my laptop. Can't afford to loose my device.
I have 2 m.2 slots, 1 has windows and one was blank which I used earlier
Also can you please tell me will it work for my device, as I just read the description I saw you told us to check things before buying but I don't know what to search
It's like is my device eligible
And sorry I forgot to thank you earlier, thank you for this video, cheers
SUBSCRIBED!
@ujjwalsharma5773 makensure u have a pcie 3.0 gen 3 or 4 m.2 slot first and that u have another way to run a boot drive if u only have 1 m2 slot. if u have another 2.5inch sata port u can use that as boot drive ...or get a external m.2 enclosure and see if your laptop can boot from that like I did ... these are the things you need to check... also sometimes the egpu isn't compatible for whatever reason ... u need to ensure it will work or else u have to return for a refund... in my case on the msi the egpu wouldn't work with 1070 but it worked with rx6800xt and 3080
no it won't burn your mobo.. ur not supplying any more power to your mobo..ur only supplying direct power to your gpu... your motherboard still gets power off your laptop battery and power dc connector ... that's why i use a seperate psu to power the egpu which supplies power to the gpu ... allowing it to work
Can u make a guide using the exp gdc egpu dock?
there are a few videos already on yourube check them out see if it helps u
@@MIKEYZVLOGZI have everything set up but when I boot the laptop everything works fine but my screen won’t turn on and it flickers every few seconds. I’ve tried to plug it in while windows was booted up but it the screen just freezes and keyboard stops working. Then I tried plugging in the cable to the m2 slot without the dock connected and it does the same exact thing. Any fixes?
@@Zero000vr is it pcie 3.0 ? have u tried selecting gen 3 in bios
@@MIKEYZVLOGZYes it’s pcie 3.0 how would I switch it to gen 3 would I just go into bios and change it. My laptop brand is acer
@Zero000vr I. not too sure as I haven't used an Acer laptop before although it should be under settings look for pcie gen..and select the appropriate gen such as pcie 3.0 gen 3 ... it could help.. go into bios by pressing del key or f2 on boot screen
Hola, en mi caso solo encendio el monitor externo, ay alguna manera de que también se pueda ocupar el de la laptop?
yes it can be
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ tu podrías darme algún consejo?
is this external gpu compatible to predator Helios 300 1660ti?
it can be used for any gpu .. that's the point of external gpu .. it's also backward compatible with pcie 3.0 so yes it will work
Is there a psu for eGPU's like this? Using regular psu for this looks very inconvenient and not portable.
u can just use any psu that is 500w above
instead of pcie gen4 slot , can i use my wifi card slot if i dont wanna use the sata ssd ??? Need help guys...
yes u can ... just ensure you get thw adapter that is for your wifi slot..there are different types of wifi slots... if yours is a typical newer wifi alot I think it's key m or key e . then u can use that and it will work fine aswell
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ Alright Thanks man , I appreciate that....😄
@@WickedAltered ur welcome mate
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ i got a MSI GF63 thin , it do not specify if its m key or e key , but its an m.2 slot for the wifi card..
@ShauryaRana7 then just ensure you get a adapter that is same as your wifi card
So worth it the 3050 isn't the best graphics card literally any external graphics card over 3060 would be better
Yo uhm, tried to do this but my monitor isn't getting any signal
@erisponsible3169 u using a gen 4 mobo? pr gen 3? and if so try manually selecting the pcie gen 3 or 4 version in bios
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ so uhm about that, how do ik I got a gen 3 or gen 4
Moreover how do I switch that in my bios?
@@erisponsible3169 go into bios under settings look for pcie selection ..it's different for each mobo ... under advanced or tweaker something like that ..it really depends on which mobo or brand u have
is there a way to connect the gpu straight to the laptops screen? if so how
yes you can use your laptop screen as the display ... in my video u can see I was using both laptop and external monitor
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ also i had an idea to use an m.2 to usb c adapter because i have an extra usb c port in my pc, will it drop in performance if i use that
@teaminvest1397 I believe it will a bit due to the difference on speeds between direct m.2 alot and usb c speed... however overall you should have a better experience using the egpu
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ like how significant will be the difference
how is the performance ?
it's just as ud expect from a gpu ..much better then the gpu that cane with laptop which is the 3060 6gb for laptop version ..now u can use a much more powerful gpu and still run it without issues
I know I didn't do a performance video but there are several already on yt which show the performance gain..and it's well worth it especially if u only have a 3050 or worse.it really can change the entire gaming experience using the right gpu that also doesn't bottleneck anything
can i use the low profile gpu
can use any doesn't matter
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ but low profile gpu doesnt need extra power supply
@dcayt4491 then don't use the power ..just plug it in and see if it works
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ thank you
I just bought an external and that two enclosure and put my SSD that has my operating system in it, and it won’t boot up
make sure u select it as well ... it doesn't just automatically read u must select boot device in bios...also not all are compatible... ensure you have the settings configured right too like boot from u uefi not legacy..just a few little settings u need to pay attention to.. and it should work...
I'll send u the short I did where I used an external nvme ssd enclosure for a laptop that didn't have an extra 2.5inch port for boot drive
ua-cam.com/users/shortsfcqH8gtRSjU?si=1NZPtm-fRFNG43Lz
I have messed with the bio settings, and then I disabled secure boot because it wouldn’t let me boot up to the M2 SSD enclosure and now it’s showing the Blocker recovery key, which I don’t have and I don’t think I need to enter that code to get it to boot up to it
@gavinstewart33 no u shouldn'till try make another short tonite about it and show how I achieved it so u get a better idea
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ okay thank you! 🙏
It goes to boot screen!!!! Saying please install operating system
it's not reading your boot drive
Am I supposed to have another drive with operating system and if so can it be plugged in via usb
@gavinstewart33 yes u can run off usb
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ I tried to transfer the operating system from ssd to hard drive and it shows the blue screen won’t let me in
did u select the boot drive in bios
a 3050 is bad?!
not that uts bad but there's alot better out there especially for price point
