Question PCIe 4.0 riser

[Ronnie30]

Hey all. I'm building a new system, and I'd like to vertically mount my card. I've never bought a riser cable before so I don't know what brands are reliable, if there are quality differences, etc. I'd also like to get one that's PCI-e 4.0; I know my card won't max out a 3.0 slot currently, but I like future proofing. Can anyone recommend a riser cable please?

Thanks

Probably be a good idea to read up on riser cables so you get the right one:

Interesting read. I checked ThermalTake and Lian Li but unfortunately they still only have PCIe 3.0 extenders. Additionally, they are longer than PCIe 4.0 allows (7 inches of PCB Tracing).

Here's one I've found but I'm not familiar with the brand - https://www.amazon.com.au/LINKUP-Tw...mpatible/dp/B0898QMNQN/ref=asc_df_B0898QMNQN/
