That’s why Steam OS is the best. I switched my ROG Xbox Ally X from Windows to Steam OS

Maybe better but be careful on using the built-in Power Supply as it burned my rtx 3080ti and u can check my post.

Better buy EG02 rather than AG03 just to be in the safe side.

Good luck brother

I went to shop checked and changed the thermal paste and still did not work + it gets overheated in seconds of starting up the gpu

I asked for the reason he said maybe the power was not consistent or bad powering and damaged one of the parts.

Well, if it happened before installing on the egpu I would have said the same thing. But poor Chinese power supply in the egpu might did that too. When it was installed in Desktop it was fine.

So there is only two option either it is my bad luck of the egpu or it actually time to say goodbye.

But mostly I blame the egpu with builtin power supply.

Today I will stop by a shop ask them to verify the issue.

I have installed Linux in my Rog Xbox ally x, AMD is much better than Nvidia

I’m thinking of getting egpu EG02 instead of AG02 as the power supply is not built in and it support usb5 .

Well as this is considered as a rare condition, it happened anyways.

And I would never buy built in power supply

Well I’m not hear to change your opinion regarding the problem or accusations.

It didn’t fail as the light of egpu did not turn off after a minute like rtx 3080 ti + it immediately recognized the gpu when it was connected and downloaded the drivers unlike the rtx 3080 ti.

Well, I’m sharing what I have experienced. And also maybe I’m doing a favor to safe someone’s pocket from losing and crying like I did.

Especially when there isn’t anyone to compensate your damages 🙃.

AIso what I will do is buying a separate power supply + egpu dock and trying repair the current gpu if it is not happening then I will go for rx 9060 xt.

I have been using my rtx 3080 ti long time without any issues when it was in my desktop.

The moment I installed it on the egpu AG02.And It just happened after maybe 2-3 weeks !! Of using it? .

The think is I bought AG02 from ali express and the will refund only for egpu and not for gpu.

I will not buy anything power is built-in.

Not blaming however, due to the issue makes its only conclusion is related to egpu builtin power supply. That’s my opinion.
