[TUTORIAL] DIY eGPU - Attach a DESKTOP GPU to your Laptop!

Re: Build your own Gaming Laptop! - DIY eGPU

tindi ngayon lang ako nakakita ng ganito

Thanks sir! Actually medyo matagal na itong hack na ito. Nagkataon lang na gumanda na yung mga custom eGPU adapters na binebenta kaya mas madali na siyang ma-implement. Pati yung mga software ng GPUs wala nang hassle sa installation kasi hindi na kailangan ng modded drivers. Supported na ang eGPU ng latest GPU drivers.

Kaya ngayon halos Plug and Play na silang lahat! Gawa na kayo sir! EXP GDC V6 adapter + Lumang Desktop GPU mo = very portable gaming laptop!

Try niyo ito sir: PE4C-EC3C V1.2

Naglabas sila ng mas murang adapter para sa mga nagtitipid. 50 USD lang.

Re: Build your own Gaming Laptop! - DIY eGPU

Good news to all eGPU enthusiasts!

The seller of the EXP GDC V6 has set up his store on Aliexpress and is selling the adapter (no 220W AC adapter included) for only $50!

Wait mode tayo kasi hindi pa siya nag-sShip sa Philippines.

Re: Build your own Gaming Laptop! - DIY eGPU

sir, puwede po ba ito gawin if ever nagfail ang built in vcard ng laptop?

Yes and No.


Yes, if you have a dedicated GPU (dGPU) that no longer functions but your Integrated GPU (iGPU) is working.
Example: A Lenovo T400 laptop that has a built-in Radeon HD3470 dGPU also still has an Intel GMA4500 mhd (iGPU) in case the dGPU breaks down. Using an eGPU can be recommended here.

What happens is that your Integrated GPU (GPU of the processor) will load on boot instead of the dGPU, then the iGPU will be taken over by the eGPU once detected by Windows. Hindi kaya ng mga eGPU mag-load upon boot unless may BIOS modifications ka pa.


No, if your laptop's Integrated GPU (iGPU) is the one that's not working.
The eGPU works by replacing the active iGPU (ex. Intel GMA 4500. Intel HD3000, Intel HD4000) once your computer has loaded Windows.
Kung walang ma-load na iGPU, hindi mo magagamit yung eGPU mo.
Kung may dGPU laptop mo, dGPU yung gagana pero hindi siya mapapalitan ng eGPU. Pero bihira naman na mauna pang masira ang iGPU bago yung dGPU.

At kapag naman sira na yung nag-iisang iGPU mo, hindi ba dapat BSOD on boot yan or black screen lang yung lalabas nun? (Not really sure)
Di mo rin magagamit eGPU mo rito.

Update: I've just found out that some Laptop models like Dell can read your eGPU rig at BIOS boot. That means you can implement an eGPU setup as remedy for a broken iGPU. Other laptops like the HP Elitebook series cannot read the eGPU at Boot so you are better off without an eGPU.

Hope this helps!

nice guide sir, try ko buhayin ang mga sirang laptop ko para dito.

Go ahead sir. Magandang ma-setup mo na yan para kung bibili ka man ng bagong laptop, may idea ka na kung alin yung sulit pang eGPU.

Works better with Macbooks with Thunderbolt ports!

bad news sir, binuhay na ng kapatid ko ang laptop. hindi na raw ako ang may ari..

Haha. Ok sir, sa kanya mo ipagawa yung eGPU niyo. Try niyo sa lumang GPU muna.

Basta't may adapter ka na, madali lang mag-upgrade ng rig. Palitan lang nang mas bagong GPU tapos ok ka na.

salamat dito sir. how to know if may gGPU at iGPU ang isang laptop? puwede ba makita sa device manager or sa dxdiag?

Re: Build your own Gaming Laptop! - DIY eGPU

Try mo sir sa Device Manager under display adapters.

Good News Guys!

Bplus Technology is releasing an updated PE4C 2.0 Adapter in a few weeks!

The adapter uses a 24-pin connector for its power source and a 6-pin connector to the GPU.

This gives us more powerful GPU options to be used in a portable gaming rig. (200watts and above)


The choices now are:

• Use a 200W DC 12V Pico ATX switch and connect your 200W GPU to a Laptop Adapter
• Use a Silverstone ST45SF-G 450W SFX GPU and connect even your GTX Titan to your rig

This is a great opportunity for us to make near desktop replacements from what otherwise would've been cheap everyday laptops!

Re: Build your own Gaming Laptop! - DIY eGPU

Good news again guys!

The PE4C 2.0 Adapter is out!
View attachment 170276 View attachment 170277

It showcases the following features:

• Dual channel signal transfer (Two 5GT/s PCIe 2.0 Lanes)
• Two delay switches to avoid registration problems when boot (for BIOS loading problems)
• Special foot cone, to avoid graphics card fan noise
• Support ATX power boot together function (ATX 24-Pin Connector)
• Comes with a 220W Dell AC Adapter that can power up a GTX680, GTX760, HD7870, or R9 270X

As usual, it is Plug and Play for Series 6+ systems (Sandy Bridge and above)

I'm still getting more feedback on this adapter. But I am very hopefully that this adapter will allow x2.2 connections (theoretically 10GT/s), which is the same as using a Thunderbolt-1 port connection.


Anyone interested in getting one?
