LINKUP - Ultra PCIe 4.0 X16 Riser Cable [RTX4090 RX6950XT x570 B550 Z690 Tested] Shielded Extreme High-Speed Vertical Mount Gaming PCI Express Gen4┃Straight Socket (60cm) Gen 3.0 TT Compatible┃White

I bought a new Thermaltake View 71 case to accommodate my new RTX 3090 graphics card. My old case fit my GTX 970's snuggly, but that case was a non-starter for the extra inch in length the RTX 3090 has. The View 71 has a built-in bracket for mounting the graphics card off of and parallel to the mobo. I decided to take advantage of this design option, thus requiring the purchase of a riser cable like this one. After doing quite a bit of research, I settled on this LINKUP cable. Particularly appealing with this cable is that it is well shielded against interference and has the bandwidth to support PCIe 5.0. While I'm only using it in a PCIe 4.0 configuration at the moment, the extra bandwidth this cable has guarantees I will get full performance out of my PCIe 4.0 setup. Using GPUz, I have confirmed that this cable is perfectly capable of supporting PCIe 4.0 on all 16 lanes. It is a high quality piece and easy to install. Be sure to use LINKUP's chart to order the right length and connector angle for your setup. For the View 71 case, LINKUP's chart recommends the 20cm straight version, so I ordered that one and it fits perfectly. If you have a setup that allows for mounting your graphics card off of the mobo, I highly recommend you go with a LINKUP riser cable.EDIT: After reading several negative reviews on this product, I thought it important to share my perspective:1) Cost vs. Value--several comments focus on the cost of this product being "too high", "pricey", "not worth it", etc. My perspective--You get what you pay for. This is a high quality product that is supporting the latest and greatest high end graphics cards. Spending $70 to support a $2000 graphics card is well worth the investment, in my opinion.2) PCIe 4.0 Capability--several comments suggest this cable doesn't support PCIe 4.0 and causes OS and game crashes when the bios is set to PCIe 4.0 rather than 3.0. My perspective--care must be taken with the install to ensure you have the cable properly seated at both ends. If the cable is not fully seated in the mobo or fully seated on the card, your speed will drop to 3.0 or you will get only 8 lanes instead of 16. Just as importantly, you need to make sure you are inserting the cable into the full size PCIe slot closest to the processor on you mobo. Not all PCIe slots support PCIe 4.0 x 16. Check your mobo info to confirm you are plugging the cable into the right slot. Finally, it is vitally important you order the right cable length and connector angle. Again, LINKUP has a chart that will help guide your choice here for your specific setup. A cable that is too short and thus straining the connections on each end, for example, will not yield good results. Likewise, a cable that is too long and thus resting against other components in your build could be picking up noise that will interfere with the signal quality between your graphics card and the mobo.I've been programming, building, and modifying computers since the 1960's. I've built, customized, and tweaked hundreds of PCs since their advent in the 1980's. I know how to lay a solid foundation and tweak the setup to get the most out of the build. I've verified with extensive testing that this product works exactly as advertised and is a high quality piece. If you're price sensitive, find a cheaper product and you'll get what you pay for. If you are having problems with this product working correctly, troubleshoot your setup before you blame the product. In my experience, that's where most computer problems lie.Enjoy.

I've tried SEVERAL GPU extension cables, including Corsair's own, and the 15cm version of this extension cable is the only one that properly fits the Corsair 7000D's rotated PCIE bracket for mounting the GPU in the middle of the case.Tested with the Corsair 7000D and RTX 5080 FE and works perfectly!The cable is almost not short enough but just makes the length perfectly without strain once you flex the ends of the cable for that clean look we're all going for. Zero concerns for cable length, and thankfully, not too long like most every other cable (or too short like a few).The only issue was the riser screws from the case was just barely a bit short, so I had to apply pressure from underneath where it screws in, to ensure it seated fully. However I've also had the same issue with even the standard cable, so I suspect it's moreso an issue with the case.Definitely the cable you want for that case. Thrilled to complete my upgrades finally!

Works great so far, haven't had any issues or real difficulties. Mainly I wanted it to free up a PCIe x16 slot covered by the GPU for use with a low profile HBA, which I was able to do with room to spare. The cable's length turned out to be perfect for my situation, but ymmv. My Fractal Define 7 has a space for vertical mounts, but there's still about a centimeter gap between the bottom of the riser cable and the floor of the main compartment. While the screws attaching the card to the rear of the case kept things mostly secure, for a little extra stability I cut a piece of foam, wrapped it in antistatic for good luck, and shoved it right on in there - keeps excess jiggles to a minimum.

Used this cable with a Joyjom Mini-ITX chassis ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BLXY7S4Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 ) and a x8x8 bifurcation adapter to install two x8 PCIe cards. The cable it comes with allows you to mount a two slot Graphics card but only has one PCIe connector. This configuration allows me to install a LSI Fibre Channel HBA and SAS Card to connect a JBOD disk array and a LTO tape library with a motherboard that has enough horsepower to simultaneously provide slices of that array to other hosts, and periodically back them up and provide remote access to the tape drive. Got the 25cm cable and tucked the excess in because I calculated that the 20cm might have been too short and put stress on the top of the cards. Ironically it looks like tucking the excess cable in might do that anyway. Never-the-less with the addition of a Noctua NH-L9i low profile cpu cooler ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09HCHYMJM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) both sides of the case close up and make attractive package with no guts hanging out to start arguments with your spouse, and there is enough ventilation to keep everything happy and healthy. Both cards operate at full speed so I can recommend this configuration instead of a larger MATX motherboard and case if you are space constrained but need two PCIe slots. Didn't think of it at the time but would also recommend a modular Flex ITX psu ( https://www.amazon.com/Supply-Modular-90-264V-System-Desktop/dp/B0CRYPC49N/ref=sr_1_1_sspa ) so you can eliminate the excess power cables in a build this small.
