Vega 64 liquid cooled on an Razer Core X

[fabiosapplou]

I guys, I’m planning a new setup for heavy work to be done, like 3D, video editing etc. And I’m going for a 6core i7 mac mini, with 32 Gb of Ram, (I’ll do the upgrade, obviously) but that setup has a flaw, i does not have a nice gpu, to circumvent the problem I’m going to use two eGPUs. However, I’d like to use the liquid cooled version of the Radeon RX Vega 64 on the razer core x, even though it’s not officially supported, i do believe that it should be possible. Can any one can confirm that?

 

Thanks a lot.

Nice, that doesn’t help though, besides, I'm Portuguese, so I guess you can forgive me some mistakes here and there.

Why two eGPUs? You're not going to notice any difference. A single GPU at full whack is already bottlenecked by a TB3 interface, let alone two.

As NelizMastr said, it doesn't seem like a good idea. You are probably better off with a desktop... and buy a laptop for portability with the money you save from not buying enclosures.

As it seems there are 2 thunderbolt3 controlers for the 4 thunderbolt3 porta on the back of the mac mini. I’ll lose about 5 to 10% of the performance of the GPU using that interface, it’s not that big of a deal.

Not really, I only want to run tem on resolve, AE, maya and 3ds max. That’s were i need the power. Don’t need SLI.

No desktop mac computer has better performance then these setup. Becides, havin the heat generating components in diferent enclosures will solve the throttle problems that might occur. Cause apple. Lools.

The ideia with these setup is to have just a desktop, but more powerful then what apple correctly offers.

Are you using software that is available on Mac only?

Because if not, just by using enclosure whatever "better performance" you think Apple might have is lost and off-set by using enclosures (and 10% performance loss is not little).
