[SOLVED] PCIE Riser Cable

[Damon_5]

I have a Gigabyte b450m ds3h with an AMD 5700 xt and I'm trying to install a Sound Blaster Audigy Rx but my GPU is blocking the 2nd and almost third PCIE slots, then I found out about riser cables (thought about moving GPU until I read about fps drop), so I thought I'd just move the sound card, question 1: Will I have to worry about interference sound quality wise? What cable would someone recommend for this?

I don't have a recommendation for a cable, but I wouldn't expect the use of a riser cable to hurt sound quality, since the data getting transferred over the PCIe connection should be all digital, not analog. If anything, moving the sound card further away from other components might even potentially reduce interference.

That's what I was hoping for! Thank you!
