[SOLVED] Does this PCIE Extender (Thermaltake Gaming PCI-E 3.0 X16 Riser Cable) Provide power to a 1650 low profile?

Hey just need to know as my 1650 doesnt fit in the pcie slot so I need a riser to provide a slot but now im concerned the card wont be powered. here is the Riser

Even externally powered gpus also use the pcie x16 slot for power, so I don't see there being an issue unless it's not a respectable riser.

All the riser does is take all of the PCIe pins including power, pass them through a flat cable and terminates them into another connector you plug the GPU into. As long as the GPU can tolerate the additional I*R voltage loss across the cable, it should be fine. Only way to find out for sure is to try it.

If the riser is well-made, the PCIe slot can be extended by a somewhat ridiculous amount. LTT tried it for fun a year or so ago and they put the GPU something like 10' away from the PC before it quit working.
