XCSOURCE EXP GDC Laptop External Independent Video Card PCI-E Graphics Card for Beast Dock Mini PCI-E AC774

Product Information

my lenovo e145 (and other thinkpads) won't boot if i change the included mini pcie wlan card to 'unauthorized' other wlan card. If you see a blank screen on your laptop screen as well as your external monitor, it’s possible that your BIOS is locked from the manufacturer.

I am recommending affordable laptops with core i5 with integrated intel graphics and NO additional GPUs from nvidia or amd on the laptop motherboard!Turn off the power management system on the BIOS and PCI-E energy saving options, often cause the system to avoid the time not stagnation.

If you plan to go that round, either find a notebook that has a Thunderbolt port, or run the Mini PCIe version of this adapter (though I don’t recommend that, because you have to keep the laptop disassembled and it defeats the purpose or portability).EXP GDC is the external equipment of the laptop's graphics adapter; it can help you to use the external independent high-performance graphics, can be used to access any of the pci-e interface equipment, used to improve the performance of the laptop, so you can play those huge games by requesting high graphics performance. you can still let the internal monitor on for secondary screen, but for games only use the external one.

this uprade will sacrifice your laptop's internal wifi adapter so you will need other method to connect to internet.One of the capacitors on the 12V rail was bulging ( a common issue), so I bought some new caps (16V, 1000uF) and soldered one in. I thought is nothing to get worried about and after that i plugged my GPU to the dock and checked all connections right before turn on the power supply and the laptop. Other than caps that go bad, these PSUs, manufactured by SeaSonic, are some of the best quality budget-class power supplies of the era.
