Razer Core X External Graphics Card Enclosure with Thunderbolt 3 Connection - Black

Product Information

They can easily be the most power-hungry and hottest piece of hardware in your machine—especially when you’re doing something so power-hungry like rendering. PCIe (x16) slot provides a maximum of 75W but additional power can be supplied to the PCIe card by connecting a pair of 8-pin (6+2 pin) connectors

It doesn’t have as many USB ports or other fancy bells and whistles as other eGPU enclosures we’ve talked about, however, it is one of the best looking and well made eGPU enclosures around. Onboard you get a single Thunderbolt 3 port for the host, four USB-A 3.1 ports, and a LAN port. Razer Core X doesn’t have USB ports. It’s worth paying extra for the Chroma. Tech Specs The built-in power supply provides enough power for the AKiTiO Node (~10W) as well as for graphics cards. If the standard 75W through the PCIe slot is insufficient, two extra pairs of 8-pin (6+2 pin) power connectors are available inside the AKiTiO Node that can be connected to the GPU, providing a total of about 390W. The power of external GPUs Elsewhere, you get 100W Power Delivery for laptop charging and a whopping 500 watts maximum power to the GPU.

Upgrade Your Gaming PC with High-Performance Devices

here ◄ Q: What do the ‘eGPU port’ acronyms like 32Gbps-TB3 mean and what are their ranked & measured bandwidths? It can. It’s offloading work from your laptop GPU to the most likely better-cooled eGPU, so your laptop shouldn’t get as toasty. So, considering that USB-C can transfer at speeds of about 10 Gb/s compared to Thunderbolt 3’s 40 Gb/s, it starts to make a bit more sense as to why you can’t use USB-C for eGPUs. Titan Ridge (JHL7540) allows internal routing of onboard GPU DisplayPort signals for Thunderbolt 3 monitor output. Alpine Ridge (DSL6xxx/JHL6xxx) does not.

The MasterCase EG200 requires some tools to open and access the internals. But once you’ve opened the panels, installing a graphics card is pretty straightforward. The enclosure is fully compatible with Mac and PC. PortsWhile other eGPU enclosures use the same Thunderbolt 3 controller and interface for both the GPU and additional IO, the MasterCase EG200 went for a different approach to guarantee the best possible performance from the external GPU. The USB ports and HDD interface connect to your laptop via a dedicated USB cable, so the Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth is fully reserved only for the GPU.
