Im using an old Lian Li server tower and am finding the build a bit more difficult than i ever remember builds being. 1st issue is my h100i not fitting so having to do some engineering to get that to fit. Now my graphics card (980ti) wont fit as the motherboard (ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XII APEX LGA 1200 Z490 Chipset ATX Motherboard) has too many bits like sata ports that stand too proud for such a long card. Is there a legitimate way to raise the PCIe port to allow the card to connect to the board...?

Many thanks.

Riser cable?

I never knew such a thing existed ! Do you have any recommendations - they all seem to be quite long. Just like a step would be good if such a thing exists.

I dont think anything like that will work, its not a mining rig and cant mount the card anywhere else. Time for a different motherboard or gpu :/

Found a 90 degree mount on here that seems to work. £64 though !
