So i want to upgrade my laptop (t410) with an external gpu via mini pcie, the gpu i was thinking of is the  HD 5750 wich requires a 6 pin conector.

 

The problem is that i want the enclousure to be as small as possible so i want to use a pico psu, another problem is finding an external mini pcie dock with an x16 slot that would work with a pico psu so that i idealy dont have to reroute or cut any cables but that would be possible to if nesecary. To be more percise i was thinking of using this psu  https://www.amazon.de/PicoPSU-90-DC-DC-mini-ITX-Netzteil-supply/dp/B004QDP05C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501012224&sr=8-1&keywords=pico+psu 

 

Could i just use a sata to 6 pin adapter or is even possible at all to use on of these picos with a dock simmilar to this  https://www.banggood.com/Mini-PCI-E-Version-V8_0-EXP-GDC-Beast-Laptop-External-Independent-Video-Card-Dock-p-1011222.html?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=cussku&utm_campaign=lowspecgamer&utm_content=lailixian

 

 

Are there any adapters so that i could power the pcie slot and the additonal 6pin with that psu? I only need power for the gpu not an entire system.

 

sry for shitty spelling

 

pls help and many thanks  C:

 

edit:will look for nvidia gpu cuse of compresion over 1x pcie

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

eGPU tip of the week: don't use AMD cards for PCI-E x1. 

 

Something like a cheap Nvidia Fermi generation card (550/560Ti, 470/480) or a 750Ti without a 6pin would work wonders. 

Nvidia has the edge here over AMD in software features, like PCI-E compression and internal display support. 

Compression can bring up to 30% better performance over the PCI-E X1 bus which is the bottleneck here. 

idk
