- Piledin Link S-3 completely exposes your GPU without which no case, no fan, just air flow
- Exposed graphics cards simplify the cooling flow, but the ingredients leave the risk of everything
- Don’t expect global availability yet. It’s just shipping in China right now
Paladen has announced a Link S-3, a compact EGPU dock that introduces Thunderbolt 5 connectivity at a relatively low price.
At the price of CNY 1,599 (about $ 223), the dock is ready to start shipping in China on July 26, though details of international release are not known.
Designed to support the desktop GPU externally, the purpose of the Link S -3 is to promote graphics performance on devices like video editing laptops or compact desktops without internal extension options.

Unlike traditional GPU controversy, with large matters, Link S -3 has a flat, open -air design, which helps reduce both size and cost while relying on acne air flow to cool the graphics card.
Although the design looks as sleek, the most expensive part of your setup may feel at risk to completely leave the environment completely.
The Peddest Link S-3 does not include built-in power supply but it supports standard ATX or SFX units with a power supply up to 140W via Thunderbolt 5 port, that is, consumers will need to connect the external PSU to the power.
Contact is an important feature of S-3. It contains two Thunderbolt 5 ports, offering bilateral bandits up to 80 GBPS.
However, the transfer of GPU data due to the PCI 4.0 X4 interface is limited to 64 GBPS.
Although Thunderbolt offers more bandwidth than 5 previous standards, the benefit of real -world performance compared to Okolenic can be modest for most workloads.
Nevertheless, Thunderbolt has brought additional features, which lacks many oculic -based posts.
The dock also includes a 2.5 gagabat Ethernet port that includes Relative RTL 8156B Controller, a 10GBPSUSUSUSUS 3.2 General 2 Type A port, SD card reader, and PCI 3.0 X 1 M2 slot for SSD storage.
These additions can especially appeal to content creators using video editing PCs or mobile workstations, where fast access to external drives and networks is essential.
