Will this fit inside a Razer Core X? null

Yes, both in physical dimensions and power consumption but there are couple of caveats to be consider. The first, can your system take advantage of a GDDR6 PCIe4.0 GPU, chances are the answer is no. Second and I do not know if this is an issue or not, does your Razer Core X support this Chip set. Razer shows says they do, retailers show a different story. Maybe it the retailers have not updated, perhaps it's drivers, etc etc etc I do not know. What I personally would consider the deal breaker, do you have a lap top (or what ever you plug into) with a GDDR6 X570 chip set that is running a PCIe4.0 ready cpu? Probably not (I don't know of any)and if that's the case, there is no reason to pony up for this.

I can confirm that it does indeed fit and work with the Razer Core X.

Thanks for the response but I already bought this, used it, and returned it. I was using it with a Mac Mini and surprisingly it worked and the performance was amazing! I was getting over 90fps on high settings in the Unigen Heaven benchmark. Even though this card is supported natively by MacOS Catalina, there were still some issues with it. For example, when you reboot the Mac the monitor would not display anything on the screen when plugged into the eGPU. You would have to use an HDMI cable, log in, and then it would recognize the eGPU again. The other issue was that the eGPU ran CONSTANTLY. Even when I put the computer to sleep, the Razer Core fans still ran incessantly. But the BIGGEST issue, and why I ultimately returned both, was that there were NO GAMES to play on MacOS, and the ones that were supported had lots of annoying graphical glitches and bugs that didn’t exist in the Windows version. But the worst part is that MacOS Catalina does not support 32-bit games anymore!! Seriously, Apple?? That meant 2/3 of my flipping Steam games library couldn’t even be played!! So ultimately it wasn’t worth the $800 for the Razer Core and the AMD 5700 just to be able to play 5 games out of my library. While the performance was great, the software (or lack thereof) killed it. Now if you are a video editor or photo editor, I would recommend this setup. But for gaming, don’t bother. Just get yourself a Windows PC. I still love MacOS and I use a Mac as my primary computer, but I just don’t try to game on it. I have a Mac and a PC which share an Asus 144hz monitor and I use a KVM switch to share a Razer Mouse and Keyboard. It’s a great setup if you like to game but prefer the smoothness and ease of MacOS for day to day tasks. Plus if you have an iPhone, having iMessage on your desktop OS a dream. But I digress...
