Thunderbolt 3 Dock

Thanks for your suggestions. However, the first one you mentioned has the same 60W power output to host as the Dell did, which did not work (I don't know if it wasn't being detected as a charger or if the input was considered insufficient for it to register as a charger, no clue). Without being too-closed minded, I suspect it won't work. As for the other, further down on the page for the Plugable, it specifically states that it will not charge the Razer Blade Stealth (albeit an older model). Other systems listed in that chart do support it, but not the RBS. I'm wondering if Razer did this by design to force you into using the Core V2. It would be nice to see them develop a TB3 dock that would support all of the features without the need for a larger external case and a separate video card. Any other ideas?

So if I were to shift this thread slightly, and assume I went with the Core V2, then I have to add a GPU. What's a decent GPU on the market now that isn't going to break the bank, but would make getting the Core V2 worth it? Let's say a card budget of 300 US give or take.

Before I spend the additional money, is there any chance Razer releases a Core V3 or Core X2 (with USB ports on it) sometime this year? Has there been any discussion of such a thing happening. The laptop is as cutting edge as the Blade Stealth gets right now. No reason to not pair it with the newest Core system if that's coming down the pike shortly.

imReqiThe Core X was released May 2018 I believe. And they didn't announce any new version or prototype at CES this year, just the Tomahawk case variants. I don't think anything is coming "soon" for their eGPUs. After all, the Core X has plenty of room inside and the PSU is expandable/upgradable if you want. I'm happy with my Core X purchase overall and would recommend. :cool_: I'm glad you like the Core X. My only issue is with only 2x USB 3.0 A ports on the Stealth, I'm a little short on space. NOW...assuming that the Core X is able to successfully charge the laptop AND provide all the video transmission necessary, then that frees up the USB-C cable on the left side of the laptop to which I could connect a USB hub if I need additional ports (right now I have the charger on left and my external monitor on right via USB-C to HDMI). But really, IMHO, the whole point of adding a tower to an otherwise compact set-up would be to provide additional graphics power AND peripheral spac

ProfessoRJ13Sorry those earlier ones weren't any good. As for the GPU, when I built my PC, I just wend on to Gumtree (or for you the US equivalent) and got a GTX 960 Strix for AU$100, so about $70 US. As GPUs are difficult to kill/damage, if you're looking so save some money, I highly recommend doing that. Even if you want a more powerful one, they are still much cheaper and in great condition. Just make sure you find one that says that it hasn't been used overclocked. Hope this helps! Thanks for the idea, I'll check them out!

What I ended up doing is buying the Razer Chroma Stand. It takes one USB 3.0 and provides 3, so I have a total of 4 USB 3.0 Type A now. That seems sufficient for me since a lot of my stuff is wireless (although as an aside I have two different logitech receivers because they weren't smart enough to make the gamepad use the Unifying Receiver). Now I just need to stash away funds for a Core X. Not to hijack my own thread here but what's the best video card I could put into a Core X to future proof without running to processor or memory bottlenecking issues. My guess is I could go as high as the 2080 which is basically the newest card but probably won't be able to go beyond that in the future with the Stealth as the memory and processor are fixed.

ProfessoRJ13I wouldn't get a 20-series card, I would get a 1080 or TI as the 20 series is 1) hella expensive and 2) not much better unless you're going to be running the latest most demanding games. But it's your choice! I'm not an expert in bottlenecks etc, but you should be fine with up to 1080TI and probably up to 2080 Hope this helps! Thanks, it's put off for a bit, but would like to consider making the leap within a few months. This Chroma stand has helped the Stealth cool more effectively for the not so intense games I play on it now.

ProfessoRJ13Fab! That's something I would buy... If I had enough cash for a Razer Laptop You can use it with other laptops, I think they say up to 15 inches, and it has a USB 3.0 hub built in (uses one and gives 3). Get one refurbed on Amazon for like 75 bucks. The Chroma feature is cool too, although I keep it turned way down since it is forward facing. It's really quite nice. I did want the Core V2 for the USB hub (trading messages with someone else about that) but didn't get it because I thought it couldn't handle the current cards.

Windows 10 Device Connect/Disconnect Sound Playing Repeatedly

So I may have figured out the cause, but not the solution. The laptop also was shutting down almost to right where it was about to turn off and then that little green light would keep going on and off, keyboard wasn't lit and screen was off. So I decided to go old school and start disconnecting peripherals one at a time. The first one I tried was my Asus external monitor that I have connected via USBC to HDMI out of the Thunderbolt port. I shut down the laptop and IT SHUT DOWN ALL THE WAY!! Then I started it up and heard NONE of those pesky connect and disconnect sounds, NONE!! So that has identified the cause, through a couple of attempts now, neither the shutdown nor connect/disconnect loop resurfaced. To confirm, with the laptop booted up and logged in, I plugged in the external monitor and immediately windows starting making that silly noise again. I disconnected and it stopped. In the event viewer, I found the following: [DSPVLLDP]: CPPAPIHelper::GetConnectorIds: Unexpec

Best Mouse Mat or Mousepad for Uneven Surface

That's what I intend to do but need to find a mousepad that will fit in the available space I have. I am good with a keyboard/mouse extended mousepad setup but the sizing is a pain and it seems like most them are shipped from China.

BIOS Update - Razer Blade Stealth 2019

Razer.CazielBIOS 1.02 for the RBS 2019 was made to fix specific issues and I don't really recommend updating unless told otherwise by our Support Team. Thanks for letting me know! Will leave it alone for now.

BIOS Update - Razer Blade Stealth 2019

JoikansaiYes it’s really great for an ultrabook here’s my old Blade 2017 14 7700HQ with higher 45Watt cpu tdp compared to yours paired with 1080ti which is around similar raw performance with 2080, on ultra barely hits 40. As @Razer.Caziel mentioned don’t do bios update unless it’s really needed. With current Blade 15 I’m still on 1.05 even I know there’s 1.07, but I don’t have issues at all on that current one. Yea I have a 2080 ROG Strix Overclocked Edition in my CoreX.

Razer Basilisk Giveaway!

This oughta crack some people up but I think the last time I played a FPS I really loved was Goldeneye on the N64. I have just recently gotten back into computer gaming, though, on a small scale and look forward to getting back to the Hitman, Metal Gear Solid, and Call of Duty Franchises, after I finish Ghost Recon Wildlands (like I said, I'm just getting back into gaming so it's taking me awhile to play through the game, but there is good value there for someone who doesn't play all day long).

Razer Stealth HDMI

What PT.Singer said is a good start. If that doesn't work for you, try Windows Key+P for the projection menu and choose "Second Screen Only." Although his comment of setting it to do nothing is important, you'll also have to tell Windows where to display the information if not the primary display. Cheers!

Best Mouse Mat or Mousepad for Uneven Surface

BluSpectreYou are aware that Razer is based in China, right? I am now. I bought a few mousepads from them directly. Either way, the shipping was very fast. The rest of my Razer items (Stealth 2019, Core X, Laptop Stand Chroma, and Base Station Chroma) have all come from Amazon. In any case, I replaced my table with a proper desk from Ikea. Much better setup although I could still use more space so I could add a second monitor. Even with my new setup, those extended 36 inch mousemats are still too big because of how I have my desk arranged.

Razer.CazielPlease refrain from spamming on your thread. You can always use Edit if you want to add something to what you previously posted. Not desiring to start an argument, but I'm confused as to how this considered "spamming my own thread." As I don't want to violate the rules of the community, could you please provide more insight into what you mean? My comment is simply based on my setup so I was trying to relate to Joikansai's comment on what cards he had in his setup by clarifying what I had in my own.

Razer Core X Chroma | Your laptop, supercharged.

It figures this would happen. I feel like I asked elsewhere on the forum whether they would bring out a new version of the Core X with the USB ports and the consensus was it wouldn't happen any time soon if ever. So I bought a Core X. And now look at this. Trade in program, Razer?

JoikansaiI wish I knew that back then. I know a vanguard mate who also bought core x new and I think after you. This is how technology update goes today. About trade in it’s nice if there’s but it’s always sucks price for older hardware better sell it on ebay, look at Apple and GameStop trade in program. Good side it’s stil same TB3 bandwidth, extra PSU watt is for io ports, when I’m not wrong you’ve chroma stand and rtx card? Did you try using usb c on rtx card to power chroma stand. If yes I would like to know if it works or not. Hi Joikansai, Alas you are right. As much as I want those ports I don't know if I can justify the risk of not being able to sell the original Core X for a decent return. I have plugged my Chroma Headset Stand into the USB-C port on my RTX card via a USB A to C cable. However, it sometimes disconnects and sometimes Synapse doesn't recognize it. Now up to this point, a simple unplug and plug back in has solved it but I would like to find out why tha

Core X Chroma and USB Power plus Thunderbolt Connection Port Question

Hi Joikansai, Fancy you being the one to reply to my thread, lol, as you've helped me much in the past. So perhaps I misspoke when I said power button. The Core X doesn't have a power button but it does have a switch on the power supply. In other words, as long as it's plugged into power and the rocker switch is on, there will be a slight hum which sounds like the power supply and maybe it's fan are on. Would still like to hear from someone about the fitment issue of the TB cable on the Core X Chroma before I drop the cash.

Blackwidow V3 Pro Firmware Link

I noticed this too. I was watching for an update only because I hoped it would possibly be the start to a single dongle for multiple devices. The documentation says "Dual Device Support." Not sure if that's it but I was willing to try it. But alas, like you pointed out, the link is down.
