Good/trusted 5.0 PCIe Riser cables?! :)

Hey there all! I've done a search and honestly there's not many asking this question, so thought I'd post.

Doing a bit of a reconfig/upgrade and I'm personally going to be vertical mounting my 5090 GPU. Got the Lian Li bigger vertical mount and been looking at some 5.0 PCIe risers but there honestly isn't many it seems. I know Lian LI has released in America their recent 5.0 riser cable but seems over here, it's not yet. So just looking for some quick advice links really.

Overclockers have a 90 and 180 degree Kolink one but that's it. Should I just go with the 90 Kolink one from here, or is there any other places people would recommend just for the 5.0 riser that's reliable? :)

I have a LINKUP PCIE 5.0 riser which seems to be working perfectly fine with a 5080 - they have a range of cables with different lengths and configurations of 90 and 180 degree ends.

That's actually the other one I was looking at.

Most people have said that the 90 degree one works best, so just swap out the one that comes with the Lian LI mount for the newer one

I was checking this one out (added spaces just so link doesn't flag)

You'd recommend all good then? :)

Yep that's pretty much the same as I have (mine's a double-reverse) which I've not had any issues with (touch wood!) since I upgraded to a 5080 a couple of months ago.

I'm currently using a PCI 4 one and after seeing the difference 5 would make I can't be bothered to change it
