Hello forum!
I'm going to do an upgrade of my machine.
Actually i have:
- i7 7800x
- gtx 1080 ti
-64 gb ram
-ssd..etc

I think ill go for a i9 10940x and add a pair of 2070s plus m2 disk 1tb.

I was thinking about putting those 2070s in external cases,to keep the pc cool and avoid to buy a new power supply.
There is any problem in houdini using external gpu for caching?I suppose there should be no issue on redshift, but for caching don't know.
Any experience aout this or suggestions?
Thank you so much!

After few hours of googling i think that a egpu case will bottleneck the card so ill use some pcie riser cabbles to connect cards in external case..because no blower fans are mounted on 2070 and the pc would heat too much.
