Hello /g/, I have a question for you that I can't seem to

bumping for interest
I've been wanting to do the same thing at some point with my thinkpad x220, wondering how well it would work with an i7 (2620m) and 8 gb ram

Bump for interest aswell, I think they have weird ribbon cable extenders and adapters for this sort of thing

Please don't do this. The performance you'll get will make you want to commit suicide.

Laptop processors simply cannot be cooled more than 1-2 GHz when under very heavy load.

You will get MASSIVE lag, stutters, frame drops, and glitches in modern games. The pain and suffering only get worse on older pentium laptops.

Just build a small FM2+ PC with an A8 APU + 2x4GB of 1866 MHz DDR3 RAM for like $250.

and what, just carry a monitor around with you?

>>57989486
Yes. You're already doing that with your laptop.

>>57989486
No shit, you're already carrying a bulky as fuck eGPU box + PSU in addition to your laptop.

You might as well just carry a mid-ATX case and a monitor + wireless mouse/keyboard. At least performance won't be dogshit.

Youll only get one lane of pcie. I got an egpu for my cousins old laptop that only had pcie 1.0 and it acted pretty weird, for example 100fps in csgo until he shoots his gun and it falls to about 10...

Make sure your laptop has pcie 3 through your expresscard slot at the very least

Is that using a Thunderbolt port?

Judging by the age of that laptop (Note: Centrino processor), fuck no it's not.
