GPU riser cable

[Minibiker]

Hi all

I want to get a riser cable for my GPU as it has no back plate and I don't like the look of it

Is there certain cables for certain GPU's or will one fit any?

My GPU is a Radeon RX5700

Thanks

This is what I got
Obviously you need to check it's long enough
And this is cable only as my case had the mounting slots already in the rear of the case

If need mounting brackets

This may sound silly but what have I got to measure? The PCIe connector on my motherboard or the bit on the GPU?

The distance between the PCIe gpu slot
And where the gold fingers on gpu will be when it's vertically mounted

I'm not sure how one of these riser would work in a Antec P120... Any ideas? @Mcnumpty2323

Looks like it already has the vertical slots
So can't really see a problem
Unless there's something I can't see as pictures are too small on my phone

So any riser cable would do?

As far as I can see
Though 90 degree ended ones

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

The 90 degree bit is the gpu end
So it makes the cable aim inward towards
The PCIe slot
If you get straight ended then obviously cable would need to bend a lot more to
Get to pcie slot
If that makes sense.

Where would it fit to, as most builds ive seen fit to the PSU shroud

Your case has 3 vertical pci slots from what I saw
It goes there

Ahhh ok so the diser cable will just hang there, i just thought it would need some support

The phanteks one, can’t speak for others
Is very strong plastic coated
It doesn't really hang when I removed it
Was in a nice curve and held that shape
