Know before you buy
This cable is designed specifically for PCIe 3.0 speeds. While it may function with a PCIe 4.0 card, you will need to manually set your motherboard's PCIe slot to 'Gen 3' mode in the BIOS to ensure a stable connection.
The right-angle connector is designed for vertical GPU mounting. It allows the cable to sit flush against the bottom of your case or mounting bracket, reducing strain on the cable and creating a cleaner aesthetic for your build.
Yes, the EMI shielding helps prevent signal interference from other components inside your PC. This is crucial for maintaining stable data transmission and preventing potential frame rate drops or system crashes during heavy gaming.
A 20cm length is standard for most mid-tower and full-tower cases using a vertical GPU mount. We recommend measuring the distance from your motherboard's PCIe slot to your case's mounting bracket to ensure the cable has enough slack to bend comfortably without tension.
No, this is a passive riser cable. It acts as a direct extension of your motherboard's PCIe slot, so it is plug-and-play and does not require any specific drivers to function.
