![]() Then replace the other 3 USB type C for standard USB 2.0/3.0 ports for normal mouses and that. Would it make more sense to have 1 USB type c port on the XPS 17 for charging. What would you use the other 3 left over USB type C ports for? As you cannot connect a standard mouse, keyboard, USB pen stick or any USB devices to the pc without a god dam adaptor. ![]() My question is why on earth would you need 4 USB type C ports for? Would it make more sense to have 1 USB type C for charging the laptop as USB type C is amazing for fast charging. The XPS 17 has 4 USB type C ports on the overall laptop. ![]() Lets focus on the XPS 17 laptop as I have this one in mind to buy. I still don't understand why they need 4 USB type C ports on the XPS 17 and even some other laptops replace all USB 2.0/3.0 standard for the USB C port type. Ok, I understand how to solve this issue of wanting a USB 2.0 mouse/keyboard and wanting to connect it to a USB C type port. Sorry for the rant lol about the USB C port but I just cannot understand why you need 4 of them when you cannot even plug a mouse into it? How can I use a mouse on a laptop like the XPS 17 if I cant plug in a dongle which is USB or a wired mouse which is also USB? I know you can get dongles but what is the point in that as you would thought that XPS developer would of added a standard USB port to allow a mouse without dongle converters to USB 3.0 from USB C type. Why on earth would you need 4 USB C type ports on a laptop? How on earth can you connect a mouse or keyboard even a standard USB stick to the laptop? It drives me crazy as this XPS 17 and even the XPS 15 all have USB-C ports, the XPS 17 has 4 USB 3 type ports I think. With the connectivity ports on the laptop as they are all USB-C type ports and not USB 2.0 or 3.0. I am going to use the laptop mainly for high quality video watching and some gaming.īut i have just thought about an issue which may happen if I buy the XPS 17 laptop. used DIY eGPU Setup 1.I am thinking of purchasing the XPS 17 laptop but I want some of your thoughts about this laptop. If anyone is wondering about building an eGPU with PCE164P-N03 - I'd say go for it Best spend $10 ever. Another thing to consider is buying a spare Dell casing and adjust cable setup (currently the plastic on the back is slightly risen and the cable goes out through empty optical drive bay. Currently thinking on packing this mess into some small casing. Optimus works great, internal display is accelerated too, though I prefer to play on the monitor connected exclusively to the eGPU. Luckily it didn’t blow up straight into my face I then plugged in used BeQuiet! BQT E6-600W and got stable setup (finally!). I managed to run it with GPU downclocked and undervolted, but that one evening running Mass Effect killed it. Turned out that PSU couldn't deliver the promised 19A on its single +12V line. ![]() Symptoms were: crashing NVIDIA driver, weird sounds coming from GPU upon running graphics-intensive workloads (Furmark), disappearing Nvidia card in Device Manager. Had trouble initially due to poor PSU used (some old I-BOX 400W PSU). The adapter ( PCE164P-N03) provides reliable Gen2 signaling. Packaged in the case taken from old Dell Optiplex GX150. eGPU: Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 – Dual Fan 2GB (GV-N660OC-2GD). ![]()
