Put a refurbished Corsair SF850 in it, bought directly from Corsair. Better deal then buying a new SF750 or whatever.
Also, got an overpriced PSU jumper bridge thing.
The Alphacool Core ATX 24-Pin PSU Jumper. At least I’ve heard of Alphacool, think I had a AIO CPU liquid cooler from them.
Can’t do it in lap though, at least not screwing the PSU down. It works better with a flatter surface, I used the floor. Easier then clearing a table off.
One thumb screw was a pain to get on the GPU, and one on the back as well. The one on the back finally screwed down, after slowing down.
The green light on back is gone. But there’s a blue light on front.
Must have plugged it into a different port on dock, cause I had to run all-ways-egpu to get a picture on the monitor.
A longer GPU would fit in there. But I won’t buy a new GPU, prices to high nowadays. And Intel ARC GPUs, the fan can’t be controlled from Linux. I don’t want a 0db fan, that means it’ll be off. And if the fan curve has an issue, it’ll get toasty.
I could put t he GPU from desktop in it, but too lazy.
Also, a can of air, doesn’t blow caked on dust. So I just left the caked on dust. The GPU wasn’t very if at all dusty. Bunch of dust on the outside of the enclosure, that I got off with a duster.
Maybe the GPU will be more stable, with a better PSU. Last freeze, might not have been because of the eGPU though. That might have been a kernel “feature”.
