    Log Orico NVMe eGPU Metal mesh and 3D print

    I might look into some kind of additional cooling. I only have PLA filament and this card likes to stay at 80°, I think by design. The metal ring on the power jack seems to have transferred the heat from the metal shroud on the card and kind of deformed the plastic it was connected to...

    Log Orico NVMe eGPU Metal mesh and 3D print

    The only downside is now I find out my T480 has a x2 Thunderbolt controller 6240 Alpine Ridge. Still works pretty well. I did one reboot after installing it because enough resources weren't allocated. I cut the PCIe protector down and covered the extra bit hanging out, also the SATA...

    Log Orico NVMe eGPU Metal mesh and 3D print

    This is my eGPU project with some mesh screen ($4 for 36" at Home Depot or Lowes, ACE etc: "gutter mesh 6360") It uses a "Mining x4 NVMe adapter" from Amazon etc. "MZHOU 2 Pack M.2 Key M Transfer PCI-E 1X 4X Card Transfer to M.2 NGFF Adapter Card" number B09C1BK164 Thunderbolt circuit board...

    Log ITX AM4 3D printed grille HoloISO build

    Built a 3400G system for testing HoloISO Steamdeck OS. ID cooling IS-50X fit, but I had to spin the fan mounting bracket around by removing the tiny screws going through the fins and spinning the assembly, then screws back in original holes. Used a hole saw to cut out the lid, then 3D...

    Honestly considering just 3D printing a skeleton frame at this point and letting the mesh make up both sides of the eGPU. The gutter mesh fixing an MSI case so my 360mm Radiator can breathe. It was half solid metal and half tempered glass originally. Current conundrum: where do I get a...

    Greetings from Northern CA

    Hi, I'm a long time builder 20+ years. SFF off and on, starting with ITX Cyrix VIA Nano and I think a Jetway integrated ATOM back in the day. More recently converted 3x P330/M920q/M720q to Quadro P620/P600. I took a look at getting the rx6400 SWFT in there, but decided to buy the PIO case I...

    Other PCI-E to 2 x m.2 riser, 1 nvme 1 WLAN

    You are going to probably going to need at least a slot that is x8 electrically and port bifurcation supported BIOS. Then a dual m.2 card and a Key M to Key A+E (+ USB for the Bluetooth?) https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08QS33YKR I got a couple of these...
