LINKUPUltra PCIe 4.0 X16 Riser Cable [RTX4090 RX6950XT x570 B550 Z690 Tested] Shielded High-Speed Vertical Mount Gaming PCI Express Gen4┃Universal 90 Degree Socket {25cm / 9.8"} 3.0 Gen3 Compatible

The riser is flexible, but bending it has a bit of resistance to it.I had to bend it into the shape I wanted before connecting it to the motherboard and graphics card. If you don't there will be to much pressure on the female connector on the motherboard and it will give some weird artifacts and taring on screen.I've tested this with Asus ProArt 4080 Super.

I bought this because it says it was compatible with the Fractal S2 Meshify at 25cm right angle. I returned the 25cm right angle; it felt too long for the case. The 20cm fits perfectly, with enough room for PCIE cards underneath it for network adapters or capture cards.While it does work with the Meshify 2, it does not line up with the mounting holes on the case (nor does it come with any additional standoffs to attach it if it did). The vertical mounting PCIE slots on the Fractal Meshify 2 seem strong enough to hold it without the support, so this isn't a huge problem. You can see the card "floating" in my pictures.The performance of it seems fine. I have not tested this GPU in the PCIE 4 slot directly, but I have yet to notice a performance loss from the riser on my XC3 3080 Ti.My only issues with this is that it has ugly brick red plastic on it instead of being entirely black (which is honestly a baffling design decision) and the cost. The white version is all white, why is the black version not a neutral black or at least black/grey? But it's mostly hidden by the card. I don't want to take a star off for aesthetics, but at this price point... make it look nicer? The price seems a bit high, but this is one of about four PCIE 4.0 risers on the market, so I guess they can get away with it (or the tech is just that expensive).

I bought a new Thermaltake View 71 case to accommodate my new RTX 3090 graphics card. My old case fit my GTX 970's snuggly, but that case was a non-starter for the extra inch in length the RTX 3090 has. The View 71 has a built-in bracket for mounting the graphics card off of and parallel to the mobo. I decided to take advantage of this design option, thus requiring the purchase of a riser cable like this one. After doing quite a bit of research, I settled on this LINKUP cable. Particularly appealing with this cable is that it is well shielded against interference and has the bandwidth to support PCIe 5.0. While I'm only using it in a PCIe 4.0 configuration at the moment, the extra bandwidth this cable has guarantees I will get full performance out of my PCIe 4.0 setup. Using GPUz, I have confirmed that this cable is perfectly capable of supporting PCIe 4.0 on all 16 lanes. It is a high quality piece and easy to install. Be sure to use LINKUP's chart to order the right length and connector angle for your setup. For the View 71 case, LINKUP's chart recommends the 20cm straight version, so I ordered that one and it fits perfectly. If you have a setup that allows for mounting your graphics card off of the mobo, I highly recommend you go with a LINKUP riser cable.EDIT: After reading several negative reviews on this product, I thought it important to share my perspective:1) Cost vs. Value--several comments focus on the cost of this product being "too high", "pricey", "not worth it", etc. My perspective--You get what you pay for. This is a high quality product that is supporting the latest and greatest high end graphics cards. Spending $70 to support a $2000 graphics card is well worth the investment, in my opinion.2) PCIe 4.0 Capability--several comments suggest this cable doesn't support PCIe 4.0 and causes OS and game crashes when the bios is set to PCIe 4.0 rather than 3.0. My perspective--care must be taken with the install to ensure you have the cable properly seated at both ends. If the cable is not fully seated in the mobo or fully seated on the card, your speed will drop to 3.0 or you will get only 8 lanes instead of 16. Just as importantly, you need to make sure you are inserting the cable into the full size PCIe slot closest to the processor on you mobo. Not all PCIe slots support PCIe 4.0 x 16. Check your mobo info to confirm you are plugging the cable into the right slot. Finally, it is vitally important you order the right cable length and connector angle. Again, LINKUP has a chart that will help guide your choice here for your specific setup. A cable that is too short and thus straining the connections on each end, for example, will not yield good results. Likewise, a cable that is too long and thus resting against other components in your build could be picking up noise that will interfere with the signal quality between your graphics card and the mobo.I've been programming, building, and modifying computers since the 1960's. I've built, customized, and tweaked hundreds of PCs since their advent in the 1980's. I know how to lay a solid foundation and tweak the setup to get the most out of the build. I've verified with extensive testing that this product works exactly as advertised and is a high quality piece. If you're price sensitive, find a cheaper product and you'll get what you pay for. If you are having problems with this product working correctly, troubleshoot your setup before you blame the product. In my experience, that's where most computer problems lie.Enjoy.

This is my 2nd time purchase as the first is getting cracked at the mobo connection.However that is not due to the quality of the piece but is my doing as these are not made to be taken out every other day like i have been doing,it is supposed to be left alone once seated.My case NZXT 710i has been modded by me so many times it does not resemble the case at all ,plus i use all the pci slots.Having to replace or add,take out etc etc is the reason why this has happened to the cable.It still works perfecly i just don't trust it any more as there is a small fortune inside the mongrelised case. Also i might add to the fact its $30 cheaper than when i got the first back i think in early 21 when i got the 3080Ti from EVGA so its taken an awful lot of abuse and was one of the first 4.0 X 16 riser cable cable for the 30 series cards.So yeah its done well .Also other LINKUP products i have bought are also of excellent quality.

Haciendo pruebas queda perfecto con mis tarjetas gráficas y queda perfecto, de hecho es el único remplazo que encontré para el gabinete y por el precio si es algo malo ya que es elevado, también utilizando la plataforma am4 se queda marcada en la parte trasera y podría dañarse recomendaria usar Intel o un disipador diferente para am4 que cambie la pieza.

I bought one of this two years ago and bought this one for another pc. Very good quality and helpful

Todo bien pero cuando lo saque se vio en una parte como que fue utilizado, de ahi en fuera todo bien, se ve bien

Sehr gutes Artikel, leider ist es bißchen zu lang.

Funktioniert wunderbar, wenn man das Node 202 auf PCIe 4.0 upgraden will. Bei mir mit einer Intel Arc A770 im fast täglichen Einsatz.
