PCIe v3 is sufficient, but v4 is better.

I have a PCIe x4 slot (x16 form factor) I wish to use on my mATX motherboard. The problem is that the slot is covered by my GPU. So I need a riser cable with an immediate right-angle. I can find riser cables that have a right-angle where the card plugs in, but not one with a right-angle where it plugs into the motherboard. Best would be one which also has a right-angle socket for the card, but the card can be half-height so it's not a must. Can you find one for me?
 

If you do a search on a well known auction site for the below phrase you may see what I think you need. I cannot work out whether it would be pointing up or down and also does not say what gen pcie it supports but it an immediate right angle and you could then plug in any normal riser cable to connect to the gpu. Link Up do pretty much any size you need.​

That's pretty much exactly what I need. Unfortunately it's not on sale, not even on fleabay. OCUK seem to stock all their other riser cables, just not that one.

Those, paired with a standard riser cable should work but they look as if they rise a little too high.

Not that I've found; PW-PCI-4-420 is available there - and on OCUK - and I'd prefer to purchase from OCUK.



I will.

My apologies
I am a bit dyslexic
Had to read your reply about 8 times
Before I could actually register the difference in model numbers
Yeah I pasted the one ending 24 in rainforest search
But you're right it's actually showed me one
Ending in 420
Could also email ocuk asking if they can source you a one off item
Worst they can do is say no
May be other options but I would prefer a good manufacturer
For pcie 4 riser
