Egpu

What adapter did you get? How are the temps? Is there much of a bottleneck from the adapter?

Also is it stable enough (like does it topple over sometimes)

i used the adt-link r43sg for the adapter. it is not a huge bottleneck but still x4 do limit its power a bit. probable ≈ 3070 in desktop

nvme to pcie

not if i put lots of blue tack to stick the board down (but still i still take the gpu off if i am not going to usd it for a long time

Haha ok 👌

My friend wants an egpu for his laptop but it’s a 2009 dell whatever without an m.2 slot so he has to get one that connect via… express card?

Yeah express card

It’s rlly old so there’s prob gonna be a mega bandwidth issue

probably

Not like he would be getting much out of an i7 3720qm anyway 🥴

You connected a 3090 to your laptop?

Is that easy for most laptops?

[willow pollen]

it really depends on what laptop it is, and what sort of ports inside can be abused. if your laptop has a thunderbolt port, them it is very ez, u just gotta buy pne of the enclosures and put ur gpu in. but if it doesn't u can have a try at using nvme to pcie x16 riser

mine worked after a few trials

but there is no way of utilising the full power of 3090 on a laptop

only do it if you have to

like me

i dont have a pc (although im building one soon)
