I love the concept of taking a barebones PC and interface it with an adequate discrete GPU. Pity that you basically have to come up yourself with a custom case for the whole idea to be workable outside of a lab / tech room. This would give a second life to so many rigs out there!
This would be an especially fun project if you had a 3D printer, or if you're good at woodworking/metalworking and had those tools. You could also build it into a desk, I guess. Or maybe into a case that you could mount onto a monitor and it would make it effectively an AIO that doesn't suck.
@@SeeJayPlayGames I was just saying that too in another comment! Making an outside case for the GPU would be a really cool project to showcase! I used my 3D printer to make just an outside mount for a GPU that I mounted with a riser cable outside a too small case for my Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580, but I'm afraid that my cat will mess with the fans when I'm not looking. 😆
Your cat's dreaming of being a Bitcoin miner and you didn't know it!
Now ,THIS is what we want to see, god, thank you for being original ❤
Nice. I have a unused lenovo m700 + a spare gtx1060. Time to put them together 😁
i would liketo see same thing with a thunderbolt 3 laptop connected with a egpu
Awesome video man. Tempted to try this on my little htpc.
Thanks, this kind of stuff is really fun to play with.
I want to put together a custom housing for this using a flex sff power supply...and thwn wait until i decide to upgrade my main pc GPU (currently 6800xt). Honestly, though, why are firms not building external housing for MXM cards? Seems like a more compact solution could be made...$600++ is just way too much for the current compact 7600xt eGPU's
Nice, worked quite well 🙂
Worked really well tbh, I thought with this one I might have to do some messing about in the bios but actually worked first time 😃
Good video.. I know it's an extra cable but I'd rather use a card that is powered from a 6/8pin from the psu than adapters from unintended pc slots. Blue smoke is never fun to see and smell.
Very cool video! How many PCIE lanes do you get from the the slot?
Edit: I'd actually love to see how far this can practically be upgraded. I.e., most powerful CPU and GPU combo that's still balanced.
I believe NVMe supports up to 4 so that may be what this GPU is running at.
In terms of CPU I believe the unit will take an i7 6700T but they still seem silly priced so I actually managed to source an i5 6600T which would work. I might have another look for an i7 and do some testing to see how far we can take the GPU on the adaptor.
Thats really cool! Do you think it would work with a laptop? Great video overall :)
Each device is different but generally it works with anything that has an additional port that's PCIe. We did it to an older laptop a while ago using its PCIe Wifi connection here: ruclips.net/video/BoY4K8eSFwA/видео.html
Wait...hasn't nVidia stopped driver support for the 700 series cards back in 2020 or 2021? I own an old 780 ti and the latest driver I can get is from back then. Did you say they still support the 750? 🤔 Nice video by the way! 👍👍
Oh...it WOULD be cool to show how to make an enclosure for the 750 outside of the case! I have an RX 580 that I bought a riser cable for and I printed out a stand with my 3D printer so I can use it outside it's case since the case is too small to mount it in. I was going to modify the case for it or buy a new one only because I am afraid my "curious kitty" would play with the spinning fan blades when I wasn't looking if the GPU is mounted outside the case and not covered. She already did this to a CPU fan one time when I had the case opened. I heard a brrrrr.....brrrrr sound and saw her hitting the spinning fan blade with her paw when I wasn't looking! 🤣😆
The 750Ti was always an odd ball tbh. I have a 780Ti as well and support for that ended a while ago as you say.
@@TechLabUK Thanks bro! I am definitely subscribed! Be well! 👍👍
in half life 2 you do well by not turning in aa, too taxing, better just jump to more res, dsr is worth it even if you lack a monitor going to more than 1080p, love half life 2 mate, thank you for your neat job ❤
If i have a mini pc and edge tpu, whats the best training for crypto trading. Im probably a lil off the internet method, but accepting these graphs as images, i wanted to create a real successful bot with the ML offered by coral
How much power will the pci slot provide to the gpu? Will this work with rx6400?
Apparently the SATA connection can provide up to around 55w or something but this will also be drawing from the M.2 so more than that. The RX 6400 is like one of the lowest power GPU ever so should be fine.
Brother I heeded some help. I wanted to connect a gpu externally with my laptop using your video . I just wanted to know about compatibility. I just want to know if my hp notebook 15 pc can support gtx 1660 ti or rx 590.
I have never used that laptop before so I can't say for sure. It's usually down to how locked down they are. I have not had a MiniPC or laptop where it hasn't worked though, just need the right adaptor for the connections you have. in terms of the GPU being use, if one works they all should really.
Great video! Would this work with dell optiplex 3050 micro? Thanks.
It should work with any GPU tbh but I suspect the 3050 would be a great option as it should have less power / cabling to worry about.
@@TechLabUK i think he's referring to the pc called optiplex 3050 rather than the gpu. Now on that question, yes it would work on nearly anything that has an nvme pc or even laptops. There are even some that works on wifi card slot
@@thelonelyghost285 Ahh ok, makes sense lol. As above, should work on any system with an NVMe slot.
What gddr and what gen pcie minipc and graphics card
I believe the GPU uses GDDR5 on a PCIe Gen 3.0 and the Mini PC port supports PCIe Gen 3.0 although the riser is only a 4x slot.
Sir how we buy this converter in India?
I have no idea about India tbh, here you can get them from pretty much anywhere like Ebay or Amazon etc.
Aliexpress has them
@@yissnakklives8866 sir can u give me link of this perticular dock plz sir 🥺
wouldnt a server psu and breakout board work better
No idea, I guess there’s a number of different ways of doing it.
@@TechLabUK check out some crypto mining rigs that use the hp server psu and breakout boards to run their risers and gpus saves from having to jump pins or modify your psu most breakout boads have power switches on em should also allow you to use a more powerful gpu
Better off with an Arc 310, faster and better than the older GPUs, and no need for an external PSU.
And aren't you afraid of short circuits when you put the card on the mini PC's motherboard like that? My god!!!
No, it's got a rubber pad on the bottom so nothing going to touch anything to short it.
Can you do it with a more powerful graphics card?
I can't see why not as all it is doing is extending the PCIe lanes from the NVMe slot to the card, you will just need an external PSU to plug into it.
@@TechLabUK And the issue of the graphics card heating up, how would you solve it?
@@cmpedro1 Not sure what you mean about the GPU heating up. The GPUs cooling solution works just fine?
my older pc has a 750 ti still but only 2gb
The one in the video is a 2GB, not 100% sure what variants they came in tbh
@@TechLabUK 2GB was the most common variety. There were some cut-down 1GB models and ASUS made a ROG Strix DirectCU or whatever model with 4GB.
Oculink adapter might be a little better for this application, the cables are more flexible anyway and can be 1M or so in length. I think there's plenty of space in that case for it, have even seen people squeeze them into laptops. A little more expensive though, £30 or so.
Have wondered if anyone makes an Oculink panel socket - but have not found one - so devices like this could be modded more cleanly, would be pretty nice to have an Oculink port on the back if there's apace to add one.
Yeah, that would be cool.
Hi mate can you reply I need your help
Sup?
Dude do a PnP next time dont modify things like that. the sky is the limit for modifying things no point in there. You can even turn a civic faster than a ferrari, whats the point?
waste of time.
Shut up
