I am thinking of doing a SFF Build in a DIY Case, that will use a PCIe Gen 4.0 Extension Cable to mount a GPU vertically.
Since most GPUs will not use the full bandwidth of PCIe Gen4.0, let alone 5.0 when that becomes available, I was wondering - should it be possible to put a Riser Card in the end of an Extension Cable in order to sneak in a couple of extra PCIe slots into the build? I haven't been able to find a Cable with more than one Slot at the end.
If so, can anyone recommend suitable Cables and/or Risers? It will be a low-profile build. So there will be physical space for 4 slots.
I appreciate that all the slots will have to share the same bandwidth of the orriginal slot. But this should not be much of a problem given the PCIe bandwidth now available.
