Mine has 1 Yellow wire only. Might be helpful to post that link to the riser you're using on the video page because it is seeming like an important part of getting the Titan Z operating in full. For now, I went ahead and returned my Z and put in a reg Titan. I will be ordering one of those risers and seeing what I get. Thanks for the info man!

Have you compared benchmarks with 2 internal Titan Zs or tested daisy chaining different GPU models together? It would be interesting to know if there are any issues that arise with that. I'm just going to throw this out there... it sounds like you've got the hardware available to find the ultimate Octane eGPU setup. Of course 2 Titan Zs sounds about perfect but if say 3 reg Titans daisy chained is faster than 2 Titan Zs, that would be some good information. Just throwing this out there.

Kit 1: Akitio ($250) + power supply ($100) + reg Titan ($650 refurbished from Newegg) = $1000
Kit 2: Akitio ($250) + power supply ($100) + Titan Black ($1050) = $1400
Kit 3: Akitio ($250) + power supply ($100) + Titan Z ($1550) = $1900

Jose, you are leading the charge for eGPU rendering innovation!

I have a Mac Pro Desktop (Trash bin model running with a titan Z)

I have a 1200 Watt PSU and I plugged the titan right into the AKITO PCI slot without any extra molex's it runs like a charm.

Could be that it is a light model load and I have not yet got it to the point where it starts to heat up a lot etc that it is doing OK. So I may need one but that is unusual is it not??

Anyway many thanks for your detailed help. You have made my home life a lot simpler. THANKS

Peter
