PCIe Riser Cable (x16)

Flexible PCIe x16 extension ribbon that repositions a GPU away from the motherboard. Essential for vertical GPU mounting in small-form-factor and showcase PC builds.

A PCIe riser cable is a flexible x16 extension ribbon that relocates a graphics card away from its motherboard slot without electrical penalty, carrying the 64 Gbps of a PCIe lane group plus the 75 watts a slot supplies. Its purpose is chiefly mechanical: repositioning a GPU vertically so the card and its cooler face outward in a windowed case. Small-form-factor and showcase builds rely on it, where a horizontally mounted card would either not fit or hide the hardware. The short 0.3-meter length keeps high-frequency signals intact; longer risers risk link errors or forced downgrades to slower PCIe generations. Quality varies with shielding, and prices run from $20 to $60.
