I am very satisfied to this configuration now I have very powerful and handy ultra book with long battery life 9 - 12 h when I travel. When I am on home i have desktop computer to play and make CAD models, it is also pretty handy have 1 Tb more space to games and stuff. I successfully played Skyrim special edition ultra high graphics over the Thunderbolt 3. Next I try to play OverWatch from external SSD + plug RJ45 to box trying to test how much TB3 bus can take.

Nice mod to add the SSD to expansion board. This eGPU enclosure shares the same main board with Mantiz Venus so the SATA port was there but unpopulated. Enjoy your setup!
Greetings @Akiyam did you delete 3Dmark timespy link? Would be nice if you upload it again.

I see the minus as well. Would you mind using engine valley and engine heaven? Those are free to use benchmark softwares.

I check photos without logging in... I see them in full pictures. Do anybody has any thoughts where is the problem? Site moderator would be nice to check it up ...
Enige valley and engine heaven I have been thinking to do soon when I have free time 🙂 Maybe I put that to my to-do list :p
