Razer Core X - External Graphics Enclosure - up to 3-Slot Card (support Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4, Internal ATX 650W, 2x 8 Pin - 6+2-pin PCI-E - connectors) Mercury

Purchased so I could connect my work laptop and my other half’s work macbook to two 32” external 4K monitors and external keyboard & mouse.Does the job perfectly. Connection via a single Thunderbolt USB-C cable, which also charges each laptop. Costly solution given I have no interest in gaming but it worked first time and is simple to use.My use case is business: working large financial models in excel and personal: photoshop as keen amateur photographer.Hopefully someone will come up with a cheaper solution for this use case that ‘just works’ as this one does. Used an AMD Vega 56 graphics card so it works with both Mac and pc.Naturally Mac worked without even having to download drivers. Hideously expensive laptop but does just work. PC did require driver download.Product looks very neat too. Not full of hideous coloured plastic. Quite the contrary, all metal with high quality feel. Supplied Thunderbolt 3 cable is laughably short. I am waiting for a 2m Belkin cable, which should still provide 100w power.Very happy with purchase.

I have this powering a VEGA 64 with my MacBook Pro and it is working flawlessly. I was previously using the CORE V2 but this kept crashing due to the power draw of the VEGA 64, no problems with the new Core X Chroma.Its slightly larger than my previous enclosure but I have it sitting on my desk next to the monitor and it doesn't look too large to be out of place. The lighting rotates through it's various colours (I can't change this as the software to do so is not supported on MAC) and it looks the part. For me it's been whisper quiet so far, rarely do I even hear the fans spin up at all and even then only barely.Expensive, but comparable to alternatives and does a better job in my opinion.

I got this to run an RTX4090, AIO liquid cooled. Obviously the whole package wouldn't fit but I managed to swap the PSU for a Corsair 1000 watt one and get the card in no trouble. A small section of the front plastic was removed to allow the cooling tubes to exit and the rad was mounted on the top.Looks mad, works well.

The unit feels well built and works for the main function as an eGPU. However the ethernet port is absolutely not supported in MacOS, they have some beta drivers which are extremely unreliable and the company seem unwilling to spend a little time addressing this frankly simple issue.

The device shows up immediately in macOS and attached GPUs works instantly with apps on the Mac. Performance is excellent with Final Cut Pro X and gaming, with the latter in both macOS (setting apps to prefer eGPU) and Windows.The supplied cable, while very short to allow it to be passive, delivers the full 40Gb/s over Thunderbolt 3, confirmed with System Information in macOS. I understand providing all the ports on one side, but this does lead to an awkward desk setup especially given the tiny 0.5m cable included in the box. Purchasing a longer cable is almost a requirement to be able to turn the enclosure around 180°, otherwise you're pointing the heat right at yourself and your laptop. Active cables are a necessity for the 40 Gb/s but they're expensive (£50+) hence the inclusion of a passive short cable.Windows has a harder time with consistent Error 12, and I wish Razer or someone could produce proper drivers that don't have this issue, but working around that gives an excellent experience.

Great thunderbolt 3 egpu although you can fit any pcie card. I use a GTX 1080ti and works perfectly with my Lenovo t480s.I am able to use the CUDA cores for AI compute tasks, pass through the thunderbolt device to virtualisation. As well as the more obvious tasks like video editing or gaming.Fits very large cards and it is a big case, all round little larger than an Xbox Series X.Worth noting it's not the most portable due to size and the back handle is not for carrying! (just adding / removing cards) This said, if you're planning to use at home/office it's great.

So I can't overly complain as I am running this through a macbook pro and when it does work properly it seriously fires through as expected.Inside I placed an XFX AMD Radeon VII 16GB HBM2, 1750 MHz Boost, 1801 MHz Peak, 3xDP 1xHDMI Pci-E 3.0https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07NFGDZWQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1The card took fine, the eGPU shows up in the menubar and handles everything I can throw at it.Bad bits..Razer don't support anything for this enclosure for the mac.We use a 2019 Macbook Pro 16, when the eGPU is connected during boot the mac hangs at the Apple logo and goes no further.I have to unplug it, boot then plugin it back in.We are using it in a recording studio and this gave us the next headache. Our audio interfaces are Universal Audio Apollo x16's (4 of them, linked through a thunderbolt daisy-chain). When the eGPU connect to the mac it gives off huge interference through our studio monitors. After various hours trying to remedy the hissing, thinking it was an earth loop or just plain PSU/FAN noise we plugged the eGPU into the last slot available of the Apollo x16, the interference died immediately and became workable. Not an ideal solution as the units are housed in a rack, anyhow we got it working..Another issue we have on the mac is the Ethernet, it just doesn't play nice and even downloading the mac drivers from the interface makers, no luck, so more functionality.However, as for running two 32 monitors in 4k it holds up fine, even when pushed to the limits with intensive animations..Would I buy again, nope but it took so long to get it working, we are invested.. At some point it will have to go but for now we can work around it.. Not that we should have to right..?Having said all that, we haven't ruled out the noise could be from the card itself???
