PCI-E Riser

[mikemod]

Just wondering if anyone is using a PCI-E riser on a 5080/5090 card.

I have a Fractal Design Flex VRC-25 which I was using on my 2080.

I can't use it at the moment as the 5080FE is so big it won't fit in the case with the Noctua NH-D14, so just plugged in the standard PCI-E slot.

Briefly tried a 10cm gen 4 riser cable with my Palit 5080 in a gen 5 PCIE slot and was getting weird issues so just ran the 5080 in the gen 5 slot instead with no issues.

I probably needed to mess around with bios settings to make it work but not too fussed for now as waiting for a water block anyway.

I am using my 5080 in a Meshlicious case, I just needed to fix the PCIE to gen 4 in the BIOS, otherwise leaving it in auto will cause various issues.

I am using one on a 5080, I will check tonight but I am sure it was set to auto in the bios.

No problem, thanks for the info

I've just found a AM4/5 adapter for my old water block that was on the 8700K so might put it on the processor and try the riser later.

Running the new Linkup gen5 v3 riser on a 5090. No issues at all. 3dmark pcie stress test is all fine.
