Description

Desktop Graphics for Notebooks

The Razer Core X uses the high bandwidth of **Thunderbolt 3 or 4** (PCI Express 3.0 x4) to funnel the power of a **desktop graphics card** to a laptop. This allows users of Ultrabooks or light gaming laptops to play demanding AAA titles at high frame rates or tackle compute-intensive tasks like video rendering and 3D modeling significantly faster. The Core X is compatible with most modern graphics cards from AMD (Radeon) and NVIDIA (GeForce).

Easy Installation and Comprehensive Power Delivery

The Core X chassis is thoughtfully engineered. Installing the graphics card is **toolless**: simply release the slide lock and insert the GPU into the **PCIe x16 slot**. The **internal 650 W Power Supply** provides ample power for even the most power-hungry high-end graphics cards (up to 500 W GPU consumption). Another crucial benefit is the **100 W Power Delivery (PD) laptop charging feature** via the Thunderbolt cable. This means compatible laptops are charged while in use through the same cable, reducing cable clutter.

Durable Aluminum Chassis and Optimal Cooling

The enclosure is constructed from high-quality, **CNC-milled aluminum**, providing a robust and stylish addition to any desk. Unlike the Core X Chroma model, the base version does not feature extra USB hubs or Ethernet ports but keeps its focus entirely on graphics performance. The open design and **integrated 120 mm fan** ensure effective cooling for both the power supply and the installed high-end GPU.
