The only limitation is PCI-E version - Y500 have got 2.0, when Y510p have got 3.0. It allow me to connect ANY graphic card to laptop and use it at x8 speed (unlike other eGPU solutions which allow only x1, x2 or x4 speed). This adapter using laptop second GPU ultrabay port and convert it in standard PCI Express X16 port. It's Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 SLI with custom eGPU adapter made by user gerald at Tech | Inferno forum. let's call it "unusual laptop configuration". After deal i tested it in few games and i was so lucky, that my card was under old warrenty - so i don't even need to provide any proof of purchase documents to register it and get EVGA warrenty. Card was in good conditon (used for about 1 year) - first owner don't even removed sticker from iCX LED panel on side of a card. I choosed this card as best not only for model (GTX 1080 Ti), but also because of iCX Technology - 9 additional sensors to monitor card health and status. But first, let's talk about card itself - I am second owner and got this card from actual user (not from mining farm) for something about $770 (if convert it's price in USD). I would like to share my experience with replacing old thermal pads in my graphic card - EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 Gaming. Having to replace the cooling on a card that is supposed to have good cooling is ridiculous.Hello. I hate to get salty this way, but **** I'm going to have to go aftermarket on the cooler just to be able to use real oc tools. Maybe one day I'll drop by the forums and see a bios update posted that fixes the fans and maybe makes the fans controllable outside of precision, but I doubt it. Still not recommending evga anymore since the actual products matter more than cs when an rma is an rma no matter where you go. Evga customer service is still better and more personal so I guess they have that going for them. I used evga when I was a tike and had great experience with them, but recently it's just buggy software, the worst overclocking tool on the market and honesty the msi cards I've had more recently are just better. I also got basically the same reply as you which boils down to "different curve hurrrrrr it's working fine" yeah third fan not spinning up and other two fans barely spinning when the card is at 90c and starts thermal throttling must just be the working as intended vbios curve hu. I even got a new cpu/mobo and ram (just as an upgrade not as an attempt to fix this lol) and so on a fresh system with fresh drivers I still have the issue. The switch is next to the PCIE power connectors. You might want to use the "slave" bios if it makes you feel safer. The "slave" bios keeps the fans running all the time. Another thing is that your FTW3 has 2 bios. The 1 fan you show spinning in the video is the gpu fan, which is usually the first one to start moving because the gpu is usually what gets hot first. If you exit PXOC, the fans will keep with the last speed setting PXOC sent them (they wont auto-adjust anything anymore). If you start PrecisionXOC and fan control is enabled, the vbios will stop controlling the fans and fans will do whatever PrecisionXOC tells them to do.The vbios default fan curve does not start the fans until the card reaches 60✬ (IIRC).The vbios default fan curve is different than the default PrecisionXOC default fan curve.My computer has the side panel off to improve temps before i bought the FTW3 (I had a MSI 1080ti FE) with the XOC trick i can try to turn on the fans but it doesn't work all the time. i took a video of it while it was running. Superus 1 of the 3 fans were running during the benchmark.
