Razer Core

[Bcuber]

Would it be possible to use the Razer Core without having any Thunderbolt 3 ports? If not what are some alternatives?

Thanks

Nope. You need a Thunderbolt 3 port. If you want to add a graphics card to your system and you have a desktop, you can buy just the graphics card itself and insert it into an available PCIe slot on your motherboard (if you have any slots open).

Are there any adapters that would work for my pc? Installing one in the case would be a problem because of my CPU cooler. It MIGHT work though. I'll take a look inside my case later, though.

What kind of CPU cooler and case do you have? There are smaller, "mini" versions of graphics cards out there which occupy less space in a case.

I have a corsair H55 sitting right above the CPU, the only place it can fit in.

I have an H100 in my build, and I can fit my graphics card in fine, so I'm can't see why you shouldn't be able to fit a graphics card into yours. Perhaps a picture would better help to explain your scenario.

I can't take it now, but I will be able to take it later. Warning in advance- it's a prebuilt.

Here is a picture of my case. The only slot is located below the CPU and the Rad and fan are on the side panel, which isn't in the photo. The rad and fan are also moved up some when the side panel is in place.

It doesn't seem like you have space for a graphics card then, unfortunately. You could get a PCIe riser and place the card somewhere else in your case, or you could just get another case altogether.

The riser will have to do then. Thanks for the help! I wished I would have thought of that earlier.
