The External Graphics Enclosure is Back at Silverstone Booth

We're currently at the Silverstone booth, and we're looking at an external graphics enclosure that's back this year. This isn't the first time we've seen a product like this from Silverstone, as they actually showed off their external GPU enclosure at CES a couple of years ago. It's great to see that it's back, and today we'll be taking a closer look at what's new and improved.

Before we dive into the details, we'd like to thank Rosell for bringing us this exciting content from their latest release. You can read more about it on our site by checking out the link provided in the description below. This time around, Silverstone is partnering with Gigabyte, a partnership that didn't quite work out last time due to licensing issues with Thunderbolt. Thankfully, those issues are no longer present, and Intel has come on board with their support for external graphics enclosures.

So, what can you expect from this new enclosure? Essentially, it's a box that you buy, which includes the alloy enclosure made entirely of aluminum. The bottom is actually empty, drilled out to provide more airflow inside. The other included item is the power supply, which comes with 450 watts of 80+ Bronze certification. Although it's not yet on the market, we can expect it to become available soon.

Let's take a closer look at what's inside the enclosure when we open it up. It's done simply by pushing a button that opens the top. What we see is the back of the power supply, complete with an on/off toggle switch. The two expansion slots for your video card are also present, accommodating most cards on the market except for some of the massive 1080s we've seen recently. The two Thunderbolt ports in the back provide serious support for this enclosure.

Now, let's take a peek inside by pulling off the front panel. We can do this by pushing that button and just pulling on the panel to remove it. What we see is the power supply, along with all the cabling connected to the video card. There's also a PCB in the bottom of the enclosure, although there's no real airflow down there due to its design. However, a 120mm side intake fan provides excellent air circulation by pulling in air from this direction and pushing it straight into the video card.

In terms of thermals and support, the enclosure is quite well-designed. The power supply has its own fan as expected, which pulls in air and pushes it out to the top. This setup works perfectly, providing efficient cooling for the entire system. As we wait for the official release date, it's hard not to compare this product to existing external graphics enclosures like the Razer Core or Devil Box. While the pricing estimate is around $350, it's worth noting that prices may change before the final version is released.

Overall, this Silverstone and Gigabyte partnership has resulted in an impressive external graphics enclosure that should compete well with other products on the market.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey everyone we're at Silverstone booth now we're looking at an external Graphics enclosure there's a couple of these this year but the reason I'm highlighting this one is because we actually showed a Silverstone external GPU enclosure a couple years ago at CES and it's back so before get into that all this content from today is brought to you by Rosell and their new colon in case you can read more about that on our site so this thing this time it's a partnership with gigabyte last time it was Asus the one with Asus never made it to Market and that was due to what we of hypothesize were uh licensing issues with Thunderbolt but that's no longer an issue Intel's on board everyone's on board with the protocol for these external Graphics enclosures so this one with Silverstone and gigabyte is basically you buy the box so you get the alloy enclosure it's all aluminum uh the bottom is actually empty so it's drilled out in the bottom and the other included item is the power supply so you get a 450 wat 80 plus bronze power supply this isn't on market yet but it will be soon it will actually make it this time uh if we open it up here which is just done by a simple push button open up the top there's the back of the power supply of course the onoff toggle uh the two expansion slots for your video card so one GPU but two expansion slots uh so those will fit most cards on the market other than some of the massive 108s we've seen recently and then two Thunderbolt ports in the back as well so that's basically all there is in terms of the actual serious support here and then if we pull off the front panel which is done by pushing that button and just pulling on the panel get rid of that you can see the inside there's the power supply and all the cabling is is non modular cuz why why would it be modular in this and that connects of course to the video card there's a PCB in the back uh in the bottom it's empty but there's no real air flow in the bottom that's fine because there's a side fan it's a 120 mm side intake fan pulls in that way basically goes straight into the video card whether it's a blower fan or a push fan setup and then your power supply also has the fan as expected uh and that just works as normally it pulls air in this way and it pushes it out the top so that's pretty much the whole in terms of thermals and support uh this does not yet have a name the price is sort of tbbd the estimate is $350 but it's not final yet could change uh basically it's going up against things like the Razer core the devil back box uh things like that but this one is with gigabyte and Silverstone so that's all for this check links in the description below for more information and other compy Tex coverage thanks for watching I'll see you all next time that'shey everyone we're at Silverstone booth now we're looking at an external Graphics enclosure there's a couple of these this year but the reason I'm highlighting this one is
