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!

I have a computer i was doing cable management on and noticed three of the pins of my GPU adapter were pulled. I plugged them back in but I’m not confident in plugging it back in to the PC. Does anyone know if it is safe to use or or to get an authentic Nvidia adapter?

Hi everyone,

I want improve graphic performance on my Dell Vostro 3478 for gaming.

Here is my laptop specs:

- Model: Dell Vostro 3478

- CPU: Intel Core i5-8250U

- RAM: 16GB DDR4

- iGPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620

I'm wonder where should i start with egpu setup? Which gpu is best choice that not too big and don't consume much power?

Any advice is very helpful for me. Thank you!

(Sorry for my bad English 😓)

Sometimes I just want to see if it works.

I really surprised that score it's unbelivable. I just used usb4 and cannot imagine what would oculink results can be!

For who curious: in handheld screen timespy score is like 13500. Using external monitor really prevents to performance loss
