Problem solved, although its made in China the quality of the cable is pretty darn good.

Tks, just ordered one.

oh yeah, will try to find one like that. I hooked up the SBZ directly to the pcie for now, but forgot to compare the gpu temps before to compare if the airflow efficiency reducing the temps was greatly harmed or not.

I gave it a shot here and it worked out as expected, only issue I had is that the riser cable is a little too tall on the female connector thus I cant screw the card in as it stays higher. I'm gonna look for another riser cable that will allow me to install the sound card and that should do the...

Cool, got a 20cm one, will report back.

Awesome, will order one and report back.

You are correct, the M.2 is actually under the GPU... It's the GPU that is too close to the x1.

Looks like the way to go, just wondering how do I mount those on my case.

No problems so far, at least that I can notice, I was only a little concerned that the system could be more snappier or get better fps without this conflict, but I really need to run benchmarks with and without the sound blaster to get in to a conclusion, which I intend to do later this week. I...

I've noticed my RTX 2060 and my SoundBlaster Z are sharing the same IRQ (16), and when I run LatencyMon sometimes it tells me my PC is not suitable for realtime audio and video, but my build has a Core i7 11700 and 32GB of Corsair RAM. I can't access the pcie x1 slot due to the pcie m.2_2...

Does the ROG STRIX Z490-G GAMING (WI-FI) supports the i7 11700 even though it is not listed under the supported CPU list?

Thanks man.

The hard drive was over 2 years old, there are photos and videos which I have no backup for, I imagined the needle was stuck and needed some help but it is actually acting like crazy going back and forth.

The noise started this week rendering the drive useless, I've opened it up and made a video of how the drive is behaving, is there anything that I could do to sort this out or definitely needs specialized tech repair?

I'm glad to inform that it DOES work, thank you.
