I have a Asus x570 pro motherboard and due to my case a lian li mini I wanted to see if running my 3080 in the second pcie slot would cause problems or performance issues!! Thanks any help helps!

Technically, you would see lower performance. The second PCIe slot only has 8 PCIe lanes, compared to the 16 that the top slot has. That said, it only barely makes a difference depending on the game. If you can run it in the top slot, that would be better, but if you can't it'll work without much if any performance issues.

What is stopping you from using the top slot ?

It was my aio tubes but after looking through everything I ended up going with the vertical mount for my GPS and honesty it came out looking great. Now just waiting to get my power supply and this beauty will but up and running.
