Only issue there may be are the opposing inputs.
Indeed, but it actually works out for the way I'll be using the system.

Maybe cut up the second extension to get the extra 2 pins on the GPU side? You'll have to figure out something on the other end to get it connected to the HDPLEX though.

For low-profile 8-pin, you can search eBay, but you can mod one too.
Forgive me if this seems stupid, but what about taking the NUC board and putting it in a slightly larger external PCIE box? Essentially it would just be a case designed for an NUC board with a full size expansion slot afterwards, but if you could tie the NUC board into the HDPLEX for power, you'd just need to worry about one power brick and one case: smaller footprint + less clutter = SFF win. I thought about doing this myself in a custom case, but decided it wasn't worth it. Cool project, yes. Useful for me, not likely... I've got enough computers as is... Would be better if you could use an MXM card with at least a single display out though...
Ever get an idea and just can't sleep until you try it? Looks like curiosity got the best of me. I've got to alteast try and see if TB3 1070 eGPU is possible. Just received the Gigabyte Mini ITX Gigabyte 1070. If anyone has any requests for measurements, please let me know.
Are all USB 3.1 Type C Thunderbolt 3 compatible ?
Could you check the following measurements for me:
Could you check the following measurements for me:
1) Bottom of pcie x16 connector to top of PCB
2) Bottom of pcie x16 connector to top of 8-pin connector (or does the 8-pin land just at the same height as the PCB?)
3) Bottom of pcie x16 connector to top of card (shroud?)
4) Width-wise, does the card exceed the dual-slot bracket? I saw some pictures showing it's just a bit fatter.
Thanks, excited to see your testing with TB3!
Looks like the HDPLEX only has an ATX 12V 4-Pin out? Not sure how best to wire that to PCI-E 8-pin on the GIgabyte card.
Nope, in fact, USB-C doesn't even have to be USB 3.1 compatible.Are all USB 3.1 Type C Thunderbolt 3 compatible ?
I believe the stock HDPLEX 250W PCIe cable doubles up one of the GND wires from the PSU side for the 8-pin.
You could either wire something up yourself or buy an adapter like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001TK3TJY/?tag=theminutiae-20
That makes sense, but I'm not using an HDPLEX 250W.
