I just ordered one of these for an upcoming egpu setup I'm going to try. Haven't found that perfect deal on a GPU yet but I have a few weeks. For your setup are you using the TB cable that came with the unit? I was thinking about looking for a longer TB4 or TB3 active cable so I can put the eGPU on the other side of my wall where I have my NAS, since the included cable looks very short
I use a slightly longer one I bought. Godspeed on ur adventures, welcome to eGPU club!!
I got same cpu and all but mine ain’t touch screen????
Well, ain't that the bollox! Hope the house move goes (went) well.
We are finally starting to settle in, thanks dude! Videos in coming in next week or so, including studio/workshop setup for missus techdave
@@TechDave You've let poor Mrs Potter out from under the stairs! Yay! 🤣
@@ted-b bwhahhahaha yes!
She's got a full workshop and she's loving it!
Awesome video! I have a p50 with m2000m and I just ordered a Razer Core and gonna put an rx580 in it. Not sure if all that is gonna work but I’ll be really happy if it does.
Shud work fine and dandy! Happy for u! Feel free to let me know how it pans put for u!
@@TechDave So the Razer Core came in, it’s a v1, apparently. I hooked up to my t470 running ChimeraOS and after allowing the thunderbolt connection settings I was able to play some psp games scaled up and looking pretty good on a monitor. Oddly enough my Dell RX580 shows up as a 480 but I’ve heard bout this. Next I connected to my t470 running windows 10… I couldn’t get this one to work. I kept getting an error that said something bout the thunderbolt experienced an error or something like that… I heard about this having to do with some error with the drivers or something that keeps flashing the thunderbolt chip until it’s destroyed. Finally I hooked it up to my P50 where everything was detected quickly and drivers were easily installed. AMD XConnect showed up and also installed Razer synapse to update the Core’s drivers. After setup I was able to play Fallout 76 at 45-60 fps depending on the amount of action. All in all I’m pretty happy to have the option to lug this along if I want to go to a friends house and play together. Now I just need some friends 😂😭🤣
very happy to hear u got it working! good on you!
sorry for delayed reply, ur comment didnt show up
@@TechDave all good! Thanks again for the awesome video, I might not have tried it unless I had this info. Next I may have to get a better gpu.
thats awesome, so happy to have helped!@@danielsimental2803
Great video. Will this work with P50 ?
thanks so much! i believe unless im mistaken the p50 only has thunderbolt, and you need thunderbolt 3 for the lenovo booststation, thanks for ur viewership x
@@TechDave Any chance to connect with lenovo boost station with regular USB?
@@cezarykalis6185 not that I'm aware of, it requires a dedicated thunderbolt 3 or 4 connection. Sorry to the bearer of bad news
Quite an upgrade with the Thunderbolt 3 port. You should install Afterburner and rivatuner to see CPU and GPU load and where a potential bottleneck is. That Lenovo Legion Boost is also larger than my whole gaming PC 😄
That's a great idea, I'm planning to do a "1 month later" or "is it a viable desktop replacement?" Type video once I've moved house, so I shall be sure to include them both!
Ye I know, it's a proper chonk!
I'm planning to keep it off my desk, and a ton of other ideas in the new studio build! Thanks for the suggestions!
Wow really clean enclosure for an eGPU. So set up is that simple?
ye its lush! literally just slot in ur gpu (and a hardrive) and install drivers, done
@@TechDave Too rad... afraid the check the price!
@@joshtree8298still not paid it off yet so it's a sore subject lol, but ye excluding gpu £1k + 2nd ssd and gpu and 2tb hdd
@@TechDave Hahah I feel it, but yet don't have remorse! P51 just might be the best thinkpad we get for some while...Only used a P50 myself but that felt like a "real" thinkpad still. I know p52 dropped the magnesium shell and overall tank ready for war type build....and ya got the m2200m dGPU config... helll even that panel!
Do you know the birghtneness nits? Im sure it gonna be full colors too.
what series is the dock?
Lenovo legion booststation
@@TechDave docking under the laptop?
