  • Reliable 5.0 Brand With a Wide Range of Sizes
Size: 5cm Color: (AVA5 PCIE 5.0) Right Angle (v3)
This is my second riser cable from LinkUp, the first was a longer double reverse in my old sandwich style build - which couldn't be reused for this one. So far so good in my new build - I installed the 5cm riser for my fat boi Astral 5090 in my Ncase M2. Even at 5cm, there is a bend in the cable, so I'm glad I didn't have to go with a longer one. Originally I ordered a 10cm, but Amazon returns made it easy to swap that out for the 5cm once I had the card in hand and realized it would be longer than I needed. I have the '3rd gen', which really doesn't matter since I don't have the cable attached to the case. Connection between the motherboard and the GPU is solid. Because of the right angle, I was able to place a slim fan underneath the GPU at the rear of the case. Some people don't like the red accents on the gen 1 and gen 3, it doesn't really matter to me. I guess I like the smaller board on the Gen 3 because it blocks less air flow from the fan, but that probably doesn't matter. No errors or black screens, it appears that I am getting full 5.0 without any degradation or need to lower the specs in the BIOS. What else can I say? It does what it's supposed to and lets me use this card in this case. I don't usually write reviews but I gather from Reddit that Linkup is a smaller company and listens to feedback from customers, so I wanted to give them props where it is due. ... show more

  • Updated review, What you need to know, and do you need this cable?
I have been vertically mounting GPU's for awhile, I upgraded to a 3090 RTX card when available and had to switch back to horizontal mounting. Why? Because the vertical mounting kit I was previously using had a riser cable that simply did not work with Nvidia 3000 series GPU's. Ordered this cable and it works now, back to vertical mounting! I ordered the 20cm, my case is a Lian Li 011 XL. To be honest it is a tiny bit long, I think I could have gotten by with the 15cm cable, but it would have been a close fit. With newer cards like the 3080 etc I would even suggest vertical mounting is functionally a better choice too in a large case. I saw the temps on my RAM and various other system points go down anywhere from 2-5 celcius after switching back to vertical. This is because the horizontal mount blocked the intake from the fans at the bottom of my case, and placed the GPU much much closer to the other components on the mobo. Meanwhile the GPU itself under full load basically hit the same max temp regardless of mounting orientation. UPDATED NOTES: I am seeing the same questions asked constantly and relentlessly, which cable should I buy, what length, etc etc etc. The answers are almost always the same, so read on if you want to know which one you should buy or if you even should buy one. 1: Right angle or Straight? Answer - Is your case an ITX case? If not, the answer is Right Angle, the end. Doesn't matter if it is full tower, mid tower, or what vertical mounting adapter you are using. Unless your case is an ITX case you want the Right Angle version. If you ARE using an ITX or Mini ITX case you want the Straight angle. 2: Will it work with my motherboard XYZ into infinity? Answer - Is the primary PCI Express slot of your motherboard PCI-E 3.0 or higher compliant? If the answer is yes, then yes, this cable will work with your motherboard. 3: Which length should I buy? Answer 1 - If your case is a ATX Mid Tower or Full Tower case you are almost guaranteed to be fine with the 20cm length. If anything it will probably be slightly long. You may even be okay with the 15 cm length, for example with the Phanteks P500A case (which I have used in computer builds) the 15cm version will be long enough though it will be a little snug. Any less than 15 I probably wouldn't risk it unless you are vertically mounting the GPU in the highest possible position. For reference both of the riser cables included with the old Phanteks vertical mount kit and the new EKWB kits are around 18cm. Answer 2 - But what if I have an ITX case? Then you probably already had a riser cable included with the case. You need to remove that riser cable, measure it, and order accordingly. I am sorry but doing anything else is just rolling the dice unless you have specific manufacturer documentation stating the required length. 4: The question you should ask but probably don't... Do I even need this cable? Answer - That depends. Do you need to replace your existing riser cable for some reason? Maybe it went bad or there was a recall on it? If so than this cable is a good choice. Alternatively, are you in my situation where you upgraded to a newer card like a RXT 3080 or Ryzen 6800XT and your new GPU wouldn't work with your old riser cable? Then yes, this cable is a great buy. However if you are buying this cable for no reason other than "PCI-E 4.0!!!!!!" You absolutely do not need, and should not buy this cable. You are extremely unlikely to get true PCI-E 4.0 speed over a riser cable, even this one. Also extensive tests have been done by many trusted tech groups and reviewers that have proven forced PCI-E 4.0 has extremely minimal performance gain over 3.0. Most often less than 5% gain, sometimes as little as 1%. A theoretical maybe gain of a couple percent (which translates generally to only 1-3 frames) is not worth 70 dollars. The thing that makes this cable good is that it has been factory tested with all modern graphics cards and is guaranteed to work with them. No other riser cable on the market that I know of, and certainly no included riser cable that comes with a kit, can claim the same. The PCI-E 4.0 compatibility is a cool marketing spiel, but it is not a reason to buy this riser cable. 4.0 compliance does not mean 4.0 speeds. ... show more

  • Worked great
Used this for the NZXT h9 with their vertical mount. Had to make a minor adjustment to the cable but worked perfectly. Not too stiff and not too flimsy, as well as giving you plenty of length. The 5.0 speeds works with 50series not 40 and you may need to look at your bios settings to set properly.

  • Works with some issues to fix.
Needed to upgrade the pcie riser cable on my pc. Length is perfect for the SSUPD meshilious case. However, the screw holes on the GPU end was off by 3 or 4mm, had to make mods to attach. Careful with the material while making additional drill holes, use a washer along with the screw. But once installed, worked great. ... show more

  • Zero compatibility issues

Excellent riser cable. Zero compatibly issues with ASUS TUF X870-Plus Motherboard and ASUS TUF RTX 5090 OC Edition. With auto detection link speed it runs perfectly at PCIE 5.0.

  • Resolved black screen issues
I was having black screen issues with my rtx5080 when using the PCIe4 riser that came with my vertical GPU bracket. Forcing PCIe4 in the the BIOS did not resolve my issue. I replaced the riser cable with this right angle 20cm PCIe5 cable and it has been working perfectly ever since. I tested the bandwidth in GPU-Z and it was showing PCIe5 transfer rates. This works with the Fractal Flex 2 vertical bracket but I used padded double sided tape instead of the screws because the screw holes didn't line up and I didnt want to modify anything. The tape worked perfectly at filling the small gap between the circuit board and the vertical bracket which is caused by the plastic end on the cable sticking up higher than the circuit board. The socket clip also seems to keep the cable in place without a need to screw the circuit board to the vertical bracket. ... show more
