Might my graphic card have burnt up due to eGPU ?

[Ufuk Palpas]

I have bought a GTX 750 Tİ to use with V8.0 EXP GDC and I built it with an laptop power adaptor ( 12 V 100W) (I didnt use a PSU) . However, after a while card stopped working, also fans stopped. Then, I didnt test it on my desktop and i have sold it to a buyer. Today he tested card but he said " When i installed the card to my desktop, my computer didn't start, PSU stopped electricity.". I will try it again on my computer when the card arrives me. May my graphic card have burnt up ?

Didn't the EXP GDC specifically call for an ATX power supply?

You are ultimately responibleas you didn't test it first. That is an unfortunate learning lesson ar the very least. It is possible that the card was damaged from your previous use or from the buyer but impossible to know for sure now. Good thing it was a 1080ti or something outrageously expensive

Generally people use it with an ATX power supply; however, GTX 750 TI takes its power from PCI EXPRESS slot, so i used 12v power input of EXP GDC for power requirement of my card.

Actually, I have tested it on my desktop before using it with EXP GDC . There were no problem. I believe that it has damaged because of the voltage .Yes it might have damaged from the buyer. I will remove the cooler to check whether components of card were damaged or not.

So you powered an eGPU with a laptop power adapter?
It stopped working.
Then you sold it, without further testing?

Yes, I didn't want to deal with it and sold it to make money.

So you sold a known broken part.
Did you tell him it was already broken?

No, I haven't known, until he said me that problem. I thought that my power adaptor or EXP GDC might be broken so i didn't test GPU on my desktop again. Tomorrow he will ship the card to me.
