The Razer Core X V2 is Razer's first Thunderbolt 5 external graphics enclosure, designed for 4-slot-wide NVIDIA or AMD desktop graphics cards over a single 80 Gbps TB5 connection. Unlike the original Core X series, the V2 ships without an included power supply and without an integrated USB/Ethernet hub — users install a standard ATX PSU in the bottom bay, and any additional dock I/O must come from a separate Thunderbolt 5 dock daisy-chained through the host. The upstream TB5 port delivers 140W of Power Delivery back to a compatible Thunderbolt 4/5 or USB4 host, making it suitable for gaming laptops and USB4 handhelds.
Razer’s 4-slot Thunderbolt 5 eGPU enclosure with 140W upstream PD. No bundled PSU (ATX), no built-in hub — pair with a TB5 dock for I/O.
