Need Help Setting Up eGPU With Nvidia Tesla K10, EXP GDC Beast, Unknown PSU, and 2017 MacBook Pro

Hello everyone,

I am in the process of setting up an eGPU for my 2017 MacBook Pro using an Nvidia Tesla K10 GPU and an EXP GDC Beast. I am running Windows through Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro.

My issue is related to power. The Nvidia Tesla K10 requires both a 6-pin and an 8-pin power connector, and I am not sure if my current power supply unit (PSU) can provide the necessary power and has the correct connectors. I initially thought my PSU was a Corsair 750W model, but it turned out that was not the case. Unfortunately, I don't currently have the exact model details for my PSU.

Here is what I have tried so far: I've tried various combinations of connecting just the Beast, just the Nvidia K10, and also tried rigging the Beast together with the GPU. However, none of these attempts have been successful.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to proceed? Would it be advisable to get a new PSU, and if so, what specifications should I be looking for?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Best regards, plyght

 

UPDATE: I might have found the solution, BUT haven't tested yet: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089YSVN1S/ref=ewc_pr_img_2?smid=AR8SH30BZZHQN&psc=1

Basically, you have to use the EXP GDC Mini PCIE cable to HDMI that came with it, get an external SSD Enclosure, use the adapter linked above, and voila! dm or comment if you need help 🙂
