I have a itx build with a 3060ti. There was only two 3060tis that fit in the case and nothing better in performance could fit.. however I managed to buy a 3080 founders edition.. and wondering what to do.

I really like the itx case (jonsplus bo 100), and want to keep it.. was thinking of an egpu dock but with a riser cable. Nothing like that seems to exist unless anyone knows of an alternative? What riser cable length is too much?

Watercool it, i think ive seen a few builds with the jonsbo 100. Might be worth considering?
 
Most eGPUs work through thunderbolt so they can connect up to laptops. If you find one of them and get a thunderbolt motherboard then you can do that, essentially having a double PC. Alternatively you could get an ATX case for a 3080 FE power build, and buy a smaller card for your ITX build as a daily driver/minimalist build. I think Dell and Razer both make thunderbolt eGPUs which work well, but I'm not sure how great the cooling is.
