hard plastic gpu risers,do they work?

[fastboy]

ok so I'm going to build my pc into my desktop and watercool it.

I want to lay the gpu down,face up or face down makes no difference to me,and I saw some hard plastic pcie risers at various heights, would they work for a gpu ok vs a ribbon type cable?

I don't have anything else in the other pci slots so covering those is no problem.

Should be better than a ribbon cable, because the signal lines are a lot shorter.

Used literally dozens of them in 1U builds, they are great.

Of course, hence why they are a standard accessory in pretty much every rackmount server.

will have to be quite a thin gpu with that riser.

there are different ones which are taller,i will have to pull mb out and measure with waterblock on how tall I need but thanks for the replies.

its an asus 1070 dual but I'm just going to put a cheapo gpu waterblock on it,then when its face down I can have a fan blowing over the face of it too to cool vrm's

its going to be built into the workbench.

yes I understood they were for servers but I wasnt 100% sure they would be ok with todays high spec gpu's so thought better to ask
