Installation steps (what did you do to get it all going?)
Grab a moded bios at bios mods
Grab some egpu hardware, i use exp-gdc v8.5
Get gpu like 1060ti u can go higher but u will be cpu bootlenecked .
U can aditionaly solder mpcie slot on motherboard if u got soldering skils .
In bios in memory configuration set tolud size to 2.5gb . dont need to disable or enable anything else . Hook up your hardware and before powering on hold D key on keyboard.
screen will flash few times and windows will boot. everything works out of box if u use external display however if u wanna use optimus u must buy diy egpu setup 1.35 software from nando4.

Comments (eg: how has the eGPU improved your workflow or gaming)
Hi,
I have a EXP GDC with dell 15Z L511Z with GTX 970.
I have black screen o n power on.
Could you detail me the bios mod you used and how you grab egpu to 8.5c.
Hope that you could help me.
To do: Create my signature with system and expected eGPU configuration information to give context to my posts. I have no builds.
