Am running a MSI 2080 watercooled gpu .
Decided to use the Fractal Riser cable so that the gpu would be vertically installed and show its substance (and bling)off- which it does.
The cable runs from top PCI Express slot on board (Asus X570 - E) and covers all the addtional expansion slots.
I have a Soundblaster sound card (Pci x 1) which I could fit but it is bound to either involve the riser cable lying over it or the card laying on top of the cable.
Is installing and running the soundcard a problem or is the riser cable insulated well enough so that installing will not cause any issues? AND assuming it will work which of the 2 options would be preferable?
