I have been vertically mounting GPU's for awhile, I upgraded to a 3090 RTX card when available and had to switch back to horizontal mounting. Why? Because the vertical mounting kit I was previously using had a riser cable that simply did not work with Nvidia 3000 series GPU's.Ordered this cable and it works now, back to vertical mounting! I ordered the 20cm, my case is a Lian Li 011 XL. To be honest it is a tiny bit long, I think I could have gotten by with the 15cm cable, but it would have been a close fit.With newer cards like the 3080 etc I would even suggest vertical mounting is functionally a better choice too in a large case. I saw the temps on my RAM and various other system points go down anywhere from 2-5 celcius after switching back to vertical. This is because the horizontal mount blocked the intake from the fans at the bottom of my case, and placed the GPU much much closer to the other components on the mobo. Meanwhile the GPU itself under full load basically hit the same max temp regardless of mounting orientation.UPDATED NOTES: I am seeing the same questions asked constantly and relentlessly, which cable should I buy, what length, etc etc etc. The answers are almost always the same, so read on if you want to know which one you should buy or if you even should buy one.1: Right angle or Straight?Answer - Is your case an ITX case? If not, the answer is Right Angle, the end. Doesn't matter if it is full tower, mid tower, or what vertical mounting adapter you are using. Unless your case is an ITX case you want the Right Angle version. If you ARE using an ITX or Mini ITX case you want the Straight angle.2: Will it work with my motherboard XYZ into infinity? Answer - Is the primary PCI Express slot of your motherboard PCI-E 3.0 or higher compliant? If the answer is yes, then yes, this cable will work with your motherboard.3: Which length should I buy?Answer 1 - If your case is a ATX Mid Tower or Full Tower case you are almost guaranteed to be fine with the 20cm length. If anything it will probably be slightly long. You may even be okay with the 15 cm length, for example with the Phanteks P500A case (which I have used in computer builds) the 15cm version will be long enough though it will be a little snug. Any less than 15 I probably wouldn't risk it unless you are vertically mounting the GPU in the highest possible position. For reference both of the riser cables included with the old Phanteks vertical mount kit and the new EKWB kits are around 18cm.Answer 2 - But what if I have an ITX case? Then you probably already had a riser cable included with the case. You need to remove that riser cable, measure it, and order accordingly. I am sorry but doing anything else is just rolling the dice unless you have specific manufacturer documentation stating the required length.4: The question you should ask but probably don't... Do I even need this cable?Answer - That depends. Do you need to replace your existing riser cable for some reason? Maybe it went bad or there was a recall on it? If so than this cable is a good choice. Alternatively, are you in my situation where you upgraded to a newer card like a RXT 3080 or Ryzen 6800XT and your new GPU wouldn't work with your old riser cable? Then yes, this cable is a great buy.However if you are buying this cable for no reason other than "PCI-E 4.0!!!!!!" You absolutely do not need, and should not buy this cable. You are extremely unlikely to get true PCI-E 4.0 speed over a riser cable, even this one. Also extensive tests have been done by many trusted tech groups and reviewers that have proven forced PCI-E 4.0 has extremely minimal performance gain over 3.0. Most often less than 5% gain, sometimes as little as 1%. A theoretical maybe gain of a couple percent (which translates generally to only 1-3 frames) is not worth 70 dollars.The thing that makes this cable good is that it has been factory tested with all modern graphics cards and is guaranteed to work with them. No other riser cable on the market that I know of, and certainly no included riser cable that comes with a kit, can claim the same. The PCI-E 4.0 compatibility is a cool marketing spiel, but it is not a reason to buy this riser cable. 4.0 compliance does not mean 4.0 speeds.

Corsair doesn't offer a PCIE 5.0 riser cable, so if you're shopping for one, this is it. The riser cable to get is the right-angle cable, 15cm. This riser cable will work with the 6500 series vertical GPU mounting kit, but you'll need some extra hardware not included. To get the riser cable to work, you'll need two washers. I used a half-inch diameter washer, which you can get from any hardware store. The best thing to do is bring one of the included screws with you and match a washer to that. The way the mounting holes are spaced for the Corsair 6500 mounting kit means that the left screw won't be able to attach to any point on the riser cable, but with a washer under the riser, there will be support for the riser cable, and the screw to screw into. An additional washer is put on the other side to level out the riser cable.The stacking order from the bottom up is, Corsair mounting kit, washer over mounting screw receiver, LINKUP riser cable, then included screw with riser cable. Additionally, if you're having trouble lining up the washer on the left side of the mounting kit, you can use another washer between the screw and riser cable to help sandwich the riser cable.To line up the screws, the right screw lines up with the vertical line on the PCB. The right screw is the easiest one, and the left screw lines up with the open hole on the PCB.

Works beautifully. I have a PCIE 5.0 board (ASUS ROG Z890-E) and PCIE 4.0 card (7800xt). Ran on first install without issues!

While I ended up not even using these in my final build, I was pretty surprised at how well they hold up. Out of the box they are very stiff, but I put them through some very sketchy and rigorous bending while experimenting with component combinations and they had absolutely no issues. While I wouldn't recommend bending them in complete 180s like I did, they had no issues

Needed to upgrade the pcie riser cable on my pc. Length is perfect for the SSUPD meshilious case. However, the screw holes on the GPU end was off by 3 or 4mm, had to make mods to attach. Careful with the material while making additional drill holes, use a washer along with the screw. But once installed, worked great.

Funny all the negative reviews from novice 'installers' who are frustrated GPU-Z is reporting PCI-E 4.0X16 (or worse) and blame it on this riser cable.People! You won't get 5.0 speeds until you install a PCI-E 5.0 graphics card. And those aren't available until Jan 30, 2025 at the earliest. Do your homework before bashing a product as garbage or defective when you haven't properly educated yourself on how this stuff works!Yes its a bit expensive for a riser cable, but what new technology doesn't cost more than the previous generation. Cracks me up that the majority of tech reviewers also dock points on the new 50 series graphics cards because their "more expensive than last generation".Its called inflation, folks!

I have a 5080 and tried out a NZXT pcie 4.0 riser first and for some reason my 3dmark benchmarks were like 100-200 points lower then whenever it was directly connected to the motherboard even though according to pcie speed tests, it was producing the exact same amount of speed. I decided to get this and sure enough my score went back to normal and it also says pcie 5.0. If you're considering on buying this and notice the bad review with 1 star in spanish - do not pay any attention to his review. He has a 3090 which is a pcie 4.0 card LOL so I don't think he understands that his actual card isn't even capable of pcie 5.0 which is why it is displaying pcie 4.0 on his screenshot. This thing works if you do in fact have a pcie 5.0 motherboard and GPU.

 

Works with 4090. Make sure you get the right length. 5cm will be too short for most. I got 15cm and it's perfect, but a little long. Corsair 5000D case. 10cm should be good for the stand offs in this case.

Tutto ok con la mia 5080 e motherboard X670E. Non ho notato perdita di performance e slot PCIE settato su 5.0

Riser pcie de trés bonne qualité, parfait pour les rtx 5000 !
