@@emwatchpaopapao9819 I still couldn't solve the issue. I just got an idea.

Hello I would love to order a controller from you I know you do not do these things but I cannot use regular controllers due to my long years of mobile aiming
You can remove wifi card and add M.2(A+E Key) to 2 Ports SATA3.0 for booting natively from sata SSD. Off course you have to add USB 5 volt with a cable and add a USB network card. Looks also great in this state. Cheers.
Why not use a M.2 E-key (WIFI-slot) to M.2 M-key adapter, so you can still use your NVME drive from the other slot in which you will now have plugged the Oculink adapter? Or won't it be recognized by the BIOS as a boot drive?
You can make this pc portable, or mount it to the back of you monitor! Plus you can remove wifi module from m2 slot and run it through USB (or buy USB module), or connect internet wire.
Its very good idea, as if you open the back cover of a laptop all the heat exit fast enough, the cpu and all other pc component stay cool at most of the time
I don't know about this oculink with that m.2 slot has like 2-4 lanes when your graphic card needs 8-16 lanes. Maybe in the long run you are better off saving the money towards a decent desktop. But it is fun to see if you could with these old laptops to get more life out of them instead of ewaste. Another thing to consider is to use Linux on these old laptops.
@@abelcristiantimbalari7861 I sent it back. I replaced it with a non enclosed adapter that supports nvme as well as m.2 sata. I've had it for 4 years and even ran windows from it for a year.

Hi Tech Yesterday, thank you so much for your Oculink video! I'm from Pakistan and it's very hard to afford gaming PCs and EGPs here. Your video really helped me understand things better. I actually have an old GPU lying around and I'm planning to try this out with my laptop, which has similar specs to yours. Fingers crossed it works out! Keep up the good work!!😊
Man, my laptop has this port on the back, but I never found a use for it. I don't need to use an adaptor from NVME to Oculink (SFF-8611) thank you very much, you're the best.
Came across your video from looking for eGPUs. Great video! Would you be able to leave some links to some of the products you used. I also dont have a 3d printer so would like to know more about this and your design too?
I had this exact same idea to do this, i only have 1 m.2 slot and the only thing preventing me from doing this was that i didnt know if i could boot from an external ssd.
But make sure if you use your laptop as a desktop and you got it plug it in all the time, remember to unplug the battery. The battery in my Lenovo laptop started to bulge up, and the internet tells many stories of batteries bulging up and even ignite from constant charging. But also you can get a new monitor for the laptop...
Hey man, nice video. Let me ask you: I saw you bought like three different adapters, but went with the one which looks specifically advertised for the Thinkpad 14. Did the one with the vertical insertion work? I'm looking to buy it, but the information seems scattered to say the best. Any info would be much appreciated
any chance you can list the parts you used here? specifically the "enclosure" that you screwed everything in and that has a square bracket to fit the PSU snuggly into. What's that frame called? Where can I buy one? Thanks!
same man I'm searching for it but I can't find it anywhere, my setup looks messy asf if I find something like that I'll take apart everything and make it clean
@@phoenix3510 he 3D printed it himself with a 3D printer and ink, which costs hundreds more to do and requires CAD software. Since it was a personal "homemade" print it isnt something you will find online for sale.
Can you continue the controller v5 to v6 maybe? My idea is that replacing the joystick on the left, instead adding 3 or 5 mechanical keys at the back of the left controller in a 45 degree. And maybe another key on top of the left side as spacebar This is because most games like csgo needs individual fingers to control the movement such as conter strafing and jiggle peak. Idk if its possible to install them tho
You're alive! Great job on this, any chance you could post an updated discord invite with no expiry onto your last keyboard video? Link expired and anyone posting it in the comments keep getting it deleted by youtube.
good video! I myself have a 15s eq 5700u HP laptop and would like to connect an egpu to it. Which slot is best suited for this? the MPcie slot from the WiFi or the m2 slot from the SSD? And if the m2 slot is better for the egpu, can I use the m2 SSD again with an adapter on the mpcie slot? I would then get WiFi via USB. Greetings
I know this would be a stretch but I see no other way of contacting you. I would love to buy or atleast build my own version of the mouse controllers you had been working on a few years ago. I had followed that project but never saw a continuation so I figured its a discontinued project. But if you have any remaining copies or parts I would be very interested in them.
You also have the option of "FSR" in stick form. It's called a 4k Gamer Pro. You don't need high resolution to do 4k 60fps. The only thing that matters is to find a resolution that keeps a constant 60fps. Then turn on the 4k Gamer Pro and get HDR 4k 60fps. You only need a 1080p active signal for the 4k Gamer to work. 640x360 and 1366x768 are both active 1080p signals. 360p is only recommended on 2d games. 1366x768 is minimum for 3d games to play in 3840x2160 60fps HDR. I highly suggest abandoning full on GPU rendering because all GPUs max out on 1440p and a little bit of 4k. Scaling beats rendering 100 percent.
@@GameOver-nm2us Upscaling is better then pushing the GPU to it's limit. You have way more breathing room. FSR or a 4k Gamer Pro is good. 900p looks good upscaled to 4k with the 4k Gamer Pro. If wanted to use 720p instead of 900p. You would need to cap your windows display on 1080p because that's how the unit registers the upscale. The 4k Gamer Pro needs a 1080p active signal. That's the only thing that's important. Instead of using the regular HDMI port. Use the display port only so everything on the desktop stays locked on a 1080p active signal. From there you could run your games in 720p or 900p to get a good 4k upscale. You can confirm 720p or 900p is actual 4k by pressing the info button on the TV remote. That's how you know you did it correctly.
@@100Bucks oh, yes I do understand all that. I just thought you were a crazy person saying "Grr only native 4k gaming is acceptable grr this is bad blah blah blah" but yeah you do make a good point
Can we use 2 monitors for this kind of setup? 1st is from the screen of my laptop then the 2nd monitor will be from the GPU? Using the iGPU of the laptop
I have a question does having this reduce the performance of the gpu in any way like only being able to reach 70% of its performance even while paired with a good cpu and is it better or worse than the performance with a thunderbolt 3 eGPU?
so what if you plug the egpu into the external usbc m.2 drive..? would that still work? You'd be able to leave your laptops m.2 where it originally was and just plug in a usbc cable and get an external gpu. Correct me if i'm wrong tho.
Can you make a video pls I want you to make your own Azerons one handed keypad which has connected joystick module of Arduino and 16 keys to single Arduino nano I don’t know how to connect both so pls make a tutorial for me
hi, instead im connecting to the nvme slot inside the laptop, can i just simply using nvme enclosure and connect the oculink cable to it and then connect the nvme enclosure to the usb type c port at the laptop..can it works?
Hi. Can i know how did you boot your pc using only the external SDD enclosure? I have duplicated both SSD and going to use the m2 slot for egpu (i have only 1 slot of it). So can i just plugged in the m2>usb to my pc/laptop and boot it normally?
