EXP GDC setup guide

[Karthik.8230]

Hi Linus Sebastian,

 

I really love ur show. Constantly watch first thing in the mornings, every day.  Beautiful. Seen ur recent God-like Aventium, got cracked to the balls.

 

I need some help on EXP GDC on my Lenovo Thinkpad X220 with Expresscard.

 

 

I have bought an EXP GDC without power supply because I have a 220 watt SMPS from my old ATX cabinet, in which I am planning to install the EXP GDC beast with SMPS and graphics card.

Questions:

1.     I was wondering if the 220 watt would suffice the need?

2.     I'm planning for a bigger GPU, like a 1060 or 1050ti. Will this work on the Beast and SMPS? Or will I need a bigger 500 watt power supply? Or should I go only with the 970 and below GPUs as 10xx will not support, maybe?

3.     What is the possibility of an Error 43 or Error xx, which I may encounter, just to know beforehand , and how to resolve it? I have seen a few answers on the net, but not very satisfied and it's very confusing. 

 

 

Thank you,
