The laptop I will be using is a Lenovo S340-15iil with an i7-1065G7 and I plan to connect an rx 5700 via one of those GPU docks that connect via mPCIe. The concern I have is if the bios of the motherboard will conflict with the mPCIe connection since I have experienced issues in the past with this exact laptop where the bios disabled the mPCIe slot entirely because it detected an unofficially supported wifi adapter (the mPCIe would enable once again after I flashed the firmware of the motherboard, but only with the original wifi adapter). -
I've got a bunch of old 2.5 HDD's sitting around am thought I would try to make use of them. I took apart an old HP DV9200US laptop and for a while ran it as a PF-Sense box by adding a dual gigabit ethernet M-PCIE card which ran great. But to be honest I just haven't been making use of it really. So I want to convert it to a NAS as I have several 2.5 HDDs around and would rather they die or become so problematic that I feel better about drilling a hole in them. I'm going to order a 4 SATA port M-PCIE expansion card as well as to SATA Power Y splitters so that I can test that the two onboard SATA drives and at least two of the expansion card drives can be read as well. If that works then I plan on buying an Icy Dock 6 bay mobile rack to house 6 drives and that has two SATA power ports so I won't need the splitters at that point, just direct SATA power cables (and SATA data cables). I'm curious if the power from each of the 2 SATA ports from this laptop motherboard will power 3 drives each or if I need to get a separate power supply? I'm not sure if the absence of all other peripherals helps (no display, DVD drive, etc) has any impact on the amps delivered to the SATA ports..Each 2.5 HDD says it draws between .5 and .6 amps at 5v. If I need to go with a separate power source would a power supply like this work with some mod'd SATA power cables (only addressing 5v). I'm not concerned with speed really. I want to learn from this and want to make use of the drives I have with some capability of recovering since I have extra 2.5's available. Thanks. -
Hey guys, I know there are a lot of posts about eGPU on laptops, so, sorry if this has already been asked So as a project I want to build mhy Asus N76VB into something else. Now I have seen Linus his vid’s about the “beast” where the EGPU kind of works. So i started to look around for some alternatives and I came across this at AliExpress: http://s.aliexpress.com/qQRbeUZj It is significantly cheaper, so can anyone tell me if this is a good alternative? Best regards, Dick

So recently I found a Lenovo T410s for 17$ that came with two mini pcie slots and was wondering "could I use these like m.2 slots and add super fast storage?" I found that you can and am now wondering with a potential of 4 ssd slots(one ssd that came with, one I could put in the dvd drive bay, and two in the mpcie slots) and would raid 4 array work in this machine? I'd like your opinion if this is possible

Hey everyone, new here to the forums, i try and keep it short and simple, with much info possible and sorry if the post is in the wrong forums, i posted this question on other sites forums with no such luck of even an answer back, or even a Google doesn't come up with anything. My laptop gave out on the graphics (everything thing else on it is fine,CPU tested great, RAM tested great, mboard is great, except the gpu was failing) Is it possible to run a eGPU via mPCIe with a laptop that has a faulty/dying internal GPU??? i search online with no such luck of finding an answer that i have, all i found was eGPUs running to connected laptops and builds that people have done with laptops older than mine running better graphics than my laptop internal GPU alone, and new laptops the same too, but nothing about running a eGPU to a laptop that has a faulty internal GPU so is it possible Also just a couple of things added in, its not really a laptop anymore ether, i considered it a portable desktop it doesn't have a screen anymore as that broke last year so I've just use my external monitor also theres no keypad (doesn't work (long story) so i just use a external keyboard) and no track pad too (have it disable, prefer using a mouse) quite a great laptop for gaming also, Its a Toshiba L650/0ED until the GPU kick the bucket still runs perfectly fine untill it boot into an os, the freezers then does a safety shut off any other question please ask -
We recently got an internet speed upgrade (from 50/50 to 960/860mbps), we have to routers (one working as just an AP) that are both dual band AC, certain devices (like phones can get 400+mbps but none of our laptops or desktops (my and my mother's laptop + my brothers desktops) have AC wifi, all are N... meaning that we get max 50mbps. I found the intel AC 7260 for ~$20 but I was curious if anyone knew of a better deal or better cards, I do have to AC 7260 M.2 cards so I might use those with adapters in the desktops, but the laptops don't have M.2 or full length mPCIe (so I can't use an adapter) and NO, ethernet for the desktops is not an option, they are set up across the house from the router and a floor above the AP. -
On my old laptop my eGPU ran fine through the mpcie slot on the motherboard, but when I try to plug it into the pcie slot on my new laptop it does this: I think it is an issue with the graphics card trying to go through the internal display and not a white list issue, because the laptop runs fine without the network card in the pcie slot. When this happens there is no display out on the graphics card. The laptop is an HP EliteBook 840. Please help, Thank you.

Hello, I have an HP laptop (model: 15-bs146TU). It comes with a WLAN adapter (Realtek RTL8723DE) connected to PCI express slot. I want to remove the adapter and use it for an external graphics card using exp gdc. I have several question regarding this - How do I supposed to know which adapter I need (mini PCIe or PCIe 16x)? I came across a thread on HP website (link: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Mini-PCI-E-Slot-Question/td-p/5495544) but how am I supposed to know whether I have 'real' mini PCIe or just an ssd or wlan reserved port(sounds like all thunderbolt is usb-c but converse is not true) ? NOTE: I have saved all info from lspci in linux termimal in the attached txt file. I want to know whether I can attach an eGPU with my laptop before buying it. (since it's non-refundable) lspci.txt

https://web.archive.org/web/20190319081929/http://milksnot.com/content/project-dirty-laundry-how-defeat-whitelisting-without-bios-modding The article is really interesting, the site seems to have gone down and I didn't wanna lose this beauty of a hack. First off, TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. *clears throat* I have partially attempted this with an HP Probook 6470b The laptop used in the article is an HP 4730s and you should DEFOS NOT just copy paste the commands unless you have the same exact laptop. Anyways by partially I mean I researched the addresses required (because the 4730s uses a second gen chip while my probook is a 3rd gen) and got stuck at the "Actually Inserting A BlackListed Card Phase",,, wanna know why? Because I don't have any blacklisted cards! I have 6 different wifi cards btw, and they all worked! I never wanted to be unlucky in my life! If you're knowledgeable enough and can risk a laptop gone to the gutter (even though I dont see that happening) then do share your results if you decide to try it! Keep in mind that you do need to install the GRUB boot loader, doesn't matter if you're on windows or linux tho. -
Hi I have an Acer aspire e5 575g 58uj and in desiring more for gaming performance and my laptop doesn't have thunderbolt or a removable GPU, so then I looked at products [this] that take the mPCI-E slot from your laptop and then give you a full-size PCI-E slot for a graphics card and I had a few questions. 1. what is a good graphics card to pick, I was thinking about the EVGA GTX 1050 gaming (i just want to do Forza and Fortnite really) 2. are these legit, do they work as advertised and is it safe to run a GPU that takes all power from the PCI-E slot that is powered by the laptops SATA power connector? 3. I have an i5 6200u and 8gb ram, will any of those be severe bottlenecks that hinder performance (planning to add another 8gb of ram anyway. 16gb total) 4. [this] is the eGPU I was looking at and it says that it is for mining but also says that it can be used for eGPU purposes, is this true? can this be used for gaming? READ: I am a kid and don't really have a big budget and my parents won't allow me to get a new laptop for many years so I would like a setup that won break the bank but will stay suitable for years to come Seriously any help would be appreciated.

so, can i see how many Mini PCI Express slot my laptop have without open the laptop? well, i can see much my device info from HWiNFO, but i dont see any mPCIe on that software so far... pls help, Thank you. -
I have an mSATA/mPCIE port on my asrock z170m/itx-ac that used to serve for an mPCIe wifi card, but I've switched over to an USB wifi dongle that works way better. So I wanted to utilize it, and looked for an adapter with female USB 3.0 to male mPCIe. And this came out: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Motherboard-Mini-PCI-Express-to-Dual-USB-3-0-19-pin-Expansion-Card-Adapter-PCI-E/32807392982.html?spm=2114.10010108.1000014.2.1fac2dc5JBdd7f&traffic_analysisId=recommend_3035_null_null_null&scm=1007.13338.80878.000000000000000&pvid=e8cb5c0b-936c-4dbc-8758-9eeeb217998f&tpp=1 and different variants: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/wholesale-Mini-PCI-e-PCI-Converter-Adapter-hard-drive-converter-SPCA025/1548439777.html My main purpose is to connect a new USB 3.0 wifi dongle and Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0/3.1 Linux boot drives. I don't want them sticking out of my computer, and the USB 3.0 header in my mainboard is (obviously) already used by the front IO. I don't want to sacrifice that. 1. Have any of you guys used this? Could this be worth all this research and cost? 2. And, oddly, this particular set of adapters only appear on Aliexpress-Why would that be, and are they trustable? -
Hello Techies! I've got a theoretical question. I know laptops have some special mPCIe to PCIe x16 adaptors like, for example, EXP GDC V8.0 to connect external GPUs and they work fine. I'm wondering, is that adapter very different from a motherboard? The EXP GDC adapter connects itself to a laptop via mPCIe to HDMI cable. So, is it possible to connect mPCIe to the PCIe x16 of the motherboard? *I would like to hear more than just "No". *Remember, it's a theoretical not practical. Thank you, Eseas

I have a 5-year old laptop (LG A510-DE30K) as my daily driver, and I had recently made an upgrade to the storage: adding a 256GB adata SSD to go along my old 500GB toshiba HDD. But there is a thing in my laptop which continues to bother me: next to my intel WiFi card(obviously mPCIE), I have a spare port that looks exactly the same. And I am very troubled about what port this is, since should this support mSATA, I am going to go with another mSATA SSD upgrade. So here's some questions: A. Is my laptop equipped with an mSATA port(this spare port)? B.If this spare port is mPCIE, which I guess would be more likely, would an mSATA SSD work on this? C. Regardless of the answers of the prior questions, What else can I do with this port? Attatched are images of my intel Wifi card and the spare port in question. I would appreciate any sort of genuine and on-point answers. Thanks . P.S. Would like some good answers fast:), since I am very much stressed about this. Can't find good data on the internet.

Hi mates, is there anybody out there using the mpcie connector on the Gene Vii? Does the connector work with the mPCIe Combo?

So I'm planning on getting myself a new graphics card for Christmas, leaving me with a spare graphics card to do something with. I fairly regularly visit my parents and sometimes spend the holidays there which leaves me without my desktop so I'm only able to play older games or games in sub-par frame-rates on my laptop (Dell Precision M6400 with an nVidia FX3700M which will just about scrape GTA 5 along in 720p on low/medium settings at 20-25fps) Obviously this isn't particularly desirable and this laptop has A LOT of connections so I'm revisiting a solution that I haven't looked at for a few years as it seems to be a fairly dated solution with newer laptops having quite respectable GPUs nowadays anyway. eGPU's, for those of you not in the know these are normal desktop GPUs plugged into a PCIe slot that connects to an expresscard slot or a mPCIe slot. The problems I'm having and would love if anybody had any knowledge/experience with are, Sourcing a Expresscard to PCIe or mini-PCIe to PCIe adapter seems quite impossible (well in the UK anyway) searches bring up the opposite thing, PCIe to mini-PCIe adapters... Having not actually done this I don't really know how well it works, peoples experiences online are generally good saying its certainly an improvement over laptop GPUs, one of the biggest limitations of this setup is an Expresscard slot or a mini-PCIe is only x1 (so the equivalent of a PCIe x1). I've read in places that you can combine multiple to get x2/x4 but how on earth I'd find an adapter for that I'll never know! My laptop has 5 mini-PCIe slots, 3 of which are free and the Expresscard slot so this could be another potential solution. I've been told before that nVidia cards will not operate at less than x4? Which would seriously limit my options because it either means definitely getting (or making??) some sort of frakenadapter to get x4 or having to buy an ATi/AMD card which would defeat the point of using my old nVidia card that is in my current desktop, is this minimum x4 true or not? Sorry for mammoth post and life story :rolleyes: but any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I just installed the Mpcie Combo III that came with my Maximus VII Formula. I figured it would be useful as a good backup, or in case I wanted to remove my PCE-AC68 PCIE adapter I am also using. It was extremely frustrating to install. Whoever designed it deserves a nice kick in the head. I had to manoeuvre behind my H80i GT and somehow managed to get it installed after toying for several hours.\ However, the next challenge was getting the horribly designed copper wireless feeds through the IO. During this, the heads of the connectors disconnected (very easily as well). I was able to reconnect them and everything seem(s)(ed) okay. Is this meant to happen? Would that jeopardise the effectiveness of the antenna it came with?

So, I have a motherboard with an mPCIe slot on it and a need for WiFi. The board has no rear I/O panel, so routing cables won't be an issue. What I need is a set of antennas that will connect to the card and come out of the case and sit on top of it (It's a Node 304.) I would prefer something with magnets to keep it stuck onto the case but it's fine if they don't have magnets. I would also like to spend under $20. Thanks in advance. An image is attached of the sort of card I'm talking about in case anyone is unsure.

Hi, I've just 'Hackintoshed' a new build based on an Asus Maximus VI Formula motherboard, and now trying to find out who they chose as the wireless chip solution in the wireless card which is bundled with the board - the mPCIe combo ii with 802.11ac/bluetooth 4.0. (for drivers) Any ideas? Intel, Realtek, in house??? Thanks -
Hey LTT forum people, Currently I have a crappy Netgear USB Wifi adapter and I kind of hate it, and I know that the Maximus V Gene has a mPCIe port so that I can put something like a wifi adapter in there, but I am having trouble finding one because after searching different forums for one I have found so far that nobody can find a good one that works. So if anybody can find a mPCIe wifi adapter or even a usb one with wireless b,g, and n with 2.4ghz and 5ghz that would be great. Thanks in advance, Nerb

Hello Everyone! I am new to the forum and computers so I don't know how things work around here... However, I still wanted to ask a question here: I have a relatively new skylake laptop by acer which has a 256 GB SATA m.2 SSD installed. It also has a wifi module that connects using an mPCIE slot as far as I know. Would it be possibile to replace the wifi card with an SSD (PCIE or SATA, don't mind which), if necessary using an adapter or similar? I am planning to upgrade my storage capacity to around 500 GB. If I can't replace my wifi card I will resort to just replacing my current SSD with a larger SATA SSD. Thanks a lot for anything that you can contribute! J
