Razer Core X V2 Thunderbolt 5 eGPU Enclosure (UK/EU)
Part numberRC21-02270200-R3M1
The same part under other regional numbers: RC21-02270200-R3U1
The short answer
An external desktop graphics card you choose yourself is the purpose of the Razer Core X V2 enclosure. It suits a compatible Windows system when you want to select the GPU and power supply separately; neither is included. Treat the UK/EU regional package as an enclosure purchase, not a complete graphics upgrade ready to use.
Specifications
Razer gives an internal length of 362.7 mm and supports cards up to four slots wide. Compare the whole card, its power connections and clearance with Razer's compatibility information before choosing one. The advertised Thunderbolt 5 link reaches up to 80 Gbps, but a Thunderbolt 4 host does not acquire that bandwidth. Those link figures are not gaming or rendering benchmark results.

Which mini PCs it fits
Check external-graphics support on the exact host before ordering. Razer supports Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4 and suitable USB4 devices with the necessary external-graphics support; a USB-C socket alone is insufficient. An ASUS NUC 14 Performance is a relevant connection candidate because it has Thunderbolt, but that is not a certified pairing. Firmware, operating-system support and GPU drivers still matter.
Apple-silicon Mac mini and Mac Studio systems do not support eGPUs, even when they have Thunderbolt connections. Do not interpret a physical connection check as proof of software compatibility.

Before you buy
Budget the required equipment as a whole: enclosure, compatible card and suitable ATX power supply. Razer advises allowing for the graphics card's power requirement plus an additional 230 W for the enclosure. Up to 140 W of host power delivery is a separate function, not the graphics card's power supply. Compare the complete setup with a computer that already contains the GPU you need.
Common questions
Are a graphics card and power supply included?
No. Razer sells the Core X V2 as an enclosure requiring a separate compatible graphics card and ATX power supply. Confirm the regional package and any seller-added bundle rather than assuming those parts are supplied.
Will it work with an Apple-silicon Mac?
No: Razer explicitly excludes M1 and later Macs from eGPU support. A Thunderbolt connection on a Mac mini or Mac Studio does not change that limitation.
