LINKUP PCIE 5.0 Riser Cable | for Vertical GPU Mount | Left Angle | Graphics Card GPU Ready | Usable with PCIe 4.0 & RX 9070/ RTX5090 | 5cm (Total Length: 9cm)

I had a PCIE 4.0 riser cable from Corsair that I grabbed when I bought my case way back, but being able to get a more build-specific length and connector orientation was so much better. Yeah, I know that I am probably not even taking advantage of the full bandwidth capabilities with my 5070ti going from a PCIE 4.0 to a 5.0, but I feel like the airflow gains without the previous massively excessive S-bend of flexible riser packed in between my GC and the MoBo isolating the card from the flow was worth the cost. Installed easy, comes with hardware if you need the standoffs/screws to mount to your case. Build quality feels good. So far it works well, looks good to have the GC vertical and not worry about sag, and in my mind now I’m getting everything out of my GPU without any bottlenecks to slow me down.

It seems a lot of people buy these expecting a miracle. There are lots of things to consider. PCIe, especially Gen5, is particularly finicky about signal integrity. While longer options are offered, what cable length you can get away with will vary wildly by a few factors. 1) Your motherboard / chipset quality, manufacturer, and CPU brand. 2) The slot you pick (huge), as closer to the CPU has shorter traces, and the bottom slot is often controlled by the chipset, which is less reliable. 3) PCI generation. If you're buying this, I assume you want 5, which is harder to stabilize than 4, which is harder than 3. Generally, you might be able to get away with 20-25 cm on the top PCIe slot. On the bottom, you might be lucky to get 10 cm to work. Video is more robust, among other reasons because it has error detection and retry to smooth over signal integrity issues. On the other hand, audio out from the GPU is notoriously flaky. While you may get video working, audio may be borderline or outright broken. Audio is a real-time, isochronous stream. Packets have to arrive on time and do not have recovery mechanisms. Your GPU will receive the information and process it itself, not on a different chip on the board. The GPU brand and generation could easily influence how reliable this is. The audio may be more or less reliable depending on the source. Browser audio, such as Bandcamp, will constantly re-negotiate and sync with a smaller stream buffer. This can cause serious audio cutouts if the PCIe connectivity isn't ideal. Something like a locally installed app, such as MusicBee, will be more reliable, but not necessarily perfect. What can you do to prevent problems? 1) Use the minimum generation PCIe setting you can without running out of bandwidth overhead. Not every use case will require the bandwidth to saturate gen 4, making gen 5 have no benefit while being harder to drive. 2) Use the PCIe slot closest to the GPU, where able. Sometimes you can't because of the lane configurations. Use GPU-Z to check if you're seeing the right lane distribution among your devices. Read your motherboard manual and ask an AI how much bandwidth you need for your monitor's resolution and refresh rate. 3) Measure twice, consider required bends, and buy the shortest possible cable. Even small differences in length mean huge attenuation benefits. 4) Consider if you need HDMI / DP audio out. If so, you need to be stricter. 5) During install, prevent any strain on the cable. Keep them as straight as possible. Gentle bends and nothing sharp to damage them. Straighter cables are more reliable. As far as operating system / driver / BIOS changes: 1) Disable PCIe link power state management. 2) Disable PCIe power saving features in BIOS. 3) If using the chipset lanes, make sure to check for any chipset settings in BIOS that may impact it, particularly power-related. 4) Use the lowest audio format you need for your equipment and source files. No 24-bit, 192k if you only need 16-bit, 48k. 5) Consider turning off AMD ULPS in the registry for the GPU, if using AMD. 6) Also on AMD, turning on audio noise suppression can mitigate flaky audio. This forces a continuous, buffered stream and can prevent the GPU audio processing from idling between packets, smoothing over minor drops.

Great product, first one was a mistake, but they fixed the situation extremely fast. Sent the wrong one with a right angle connector, instead of reverse connector. But once the correct one arrived it’s awesome works without a problem at all. until my motherboard gave out, but that’s the motherboard, not the cable. I would definitely buy another cable in the future.

So far this has worked great! Plug and play, no drivers or anything like that. Extends out my pcie lane for my graphics card, and it's completely unnoticeable. Great price. The seven inch long version still had some slack for the bends, which was a perfect length and fit.

Great cable, very solid quality built. I have bended several times and no issues whatsoever, the only thing is that for the length this is some what pricy, so not a good value, however this give me no issue right out of the box.

I thought the 19cm length was too short for my Lian Li Dan A4-H2O at first because I had trouble getting it to fit. The original riser that comes with the case is about 24-25cm length. The secret is to plug this one into the motherboard first and then wrap it around to the mounting holes on the back. The GPU end mounting holes are notched such that it will just exactly line up. Once I got it installed, everything worked with no issues. Was able to set PCIE speed in BIOS and tested in GPU-Z and confirmed my 5070 Ti is running at full 5.0 x16 speed. Good product and well made.

I have a dual GPU setup for LSFG, so I needed a long riser cable. I used one from AliExpress, but it caused numerous minor/major issues. That's why I ended up buying a LinkUp cable. ​I ordered a 70cm right angle one for the 5090 that is installed on the upright kit. Their support team was amazing—they even tested my exact setup and sent me photos before I bought it. ​I have already used a 15cm Linkup PCIe 5.0 riser cable for the 5070 Ti on the typical riser slot. Under the bifurcation x8x8 mode, it shows me very stable 28.8Gbps single-way transfer bandwidth when I check the PCIe bandwidth. ​I don't have any doubt about the quality of Linkup products. It was worth buying from this brand. Now, my 5090 works with the 5070 Ti great.

Spełnia swoje zadanie. Kupiłem do obudowy SSUPD Meshlicious, jest na nią minimalnie za długi ale nie jest to żaden problem.

Shows as gen 5 x16 as expected. Cable feels of good quality, my old gen 4 riser was stuck at gen 3. This new one seems to be perfectly fine. Will leave additional review if issues occur but all good so far!
