Razer Core X V2 Thunderbolt 5 eGPU Enclosure
Overview
The Razer Core X V2 is a next-generation Thunderbolt 5 external GPU enclosure that transforms compatible laptops, mini PCs, and handheld gaming PCs into desktop-class gaming and creative workstations. Featuring Thunderbolt 5 connectivity with up to 80Gbps bandwidth (PCIe 4.0 x4), it supports full-size desktop graphics cards up to 4 slots wide — including the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50-series and AMD Radeon RX 9000-series GPUs. The tool-free modular design allows easy installation and swapping of both GPU and a user-supplied ATX power supply, while the vented steel chassis with a built-in 120mm fan ensures sustained performance under load. Unlike all-in-one eGPU docks with integrated mobile GPUs, the Core X V2 is a pure enclosure that lets users choose, upgrade, or re-use their own desktop GPU and PSU, making it a flexible long-term investment for gamers, AI developers, and content creators. Note: GPU and power supply are not included; M-series Mac devices do not support external GPUs.
