(Specifically, you need an active USB-C cable with Thunderbolt 3, which can support up to 40 Gbps. You can buy a longer USB-C cable to attach your computer to the eGPU, but those are costly - easily $50 or more per cable.

The eGPU couldn't be far from my Mac Mini, since the USB-C cord that connects the two is ridiculously short - only a few inches long. The eGPU needs to be in close proximity to your computer due to the USB-C cable.The Core X is one of the smallest eGPUs out there, but I was still annoyed by how much space it took up on my desk. Graphics cards aren't as small as you think - and same goes for the enclosures that power them. Keep in mind, this is on top of your computer purchase! That means by the time you've set up your eGPU, you've easily spent about $1,000. Yes, the Core X is only $300, but if you want a halfway-decent graphics card, good luck spending any less than $600 or $700 for it. It's not really cheaper than buying a bigger or more powerful computer.Unfortunately, there are a handful of things I really grew to hate about owning an eGPU: Since eGPUs are upgradeable, this would also be a flexible solution in case I ever have greater graphics needs in the future. I could buy a less expensive computer, and have an external device for power when I need it. I originally thought having an eGPU would be a great idea. Why having an eGPU is symptomatic of a larger problem That said, the Core X suffers from some of the same issues all eGPUs suffer. I was never distracted or irritated by the sound. You can still hear the fan when it's powered on, but to me it sounds like white noise. It's about a foot long, half a foot tall, and only a few inches wide. It's not "tiny" by any means, but it's just big enough to store your graphics card and power it. Keep in mind, you still need to buy a graphics card separately for the enclosure, and those can be very expensive - as in, hundreds of dollars, and sometimes close to $1,000. This might sound expensive, but believe it or not this is actually on the low end for eGPU prices.
