Description

Easy troubleshooting steps to resolve issues: Step 1: Update BIOS on both Motherboard and GPU Update to the newest firmware / BIOS / software for the motherboard and GPU. The newest update can be obtained from the manufacturer's website. Step 2: Set BIOS to optimal default Overclocking is the main reason for the system to become unstable in Gen 4 setting. Reset BIOS to optimal default may resolve the issue and allow the system to run under Gen 4 without issue. Step 3: Try to boot without the riser cable Make sure the system can boot properly without the riser cable. Step 4: Clean the connector contacts on the riser cable and GPU Cleaning the connector contact (Gold Fingers) on both GPU and riser cable with rubbing alcohol to remove possible particle build-up. Step 5: Ensure the cable is fully and securely inserted into the socket Please make sure the male connector (Gold Fingers) is fully inserted into the motherboard’s PCIe socket. Our riser has a very short pin designed to provide better insertion loss. The pins may not be in full contact with the PCIe socket pins resulting in signal lanes drop from x16 to x8, or worse at x4 speed. Make sure you choose the right length cables. Too long or too short may both result in performance loss. Step 6: Try a different PCI-e slot (Always choose the PCIe slot closest to the CPU) If the motherboard has multiple Gen 4 PCIe slots, try to install the cable on a different slot. Step 7: I have done all of the above and I’m still having trouble with the riser cable PCI-E specifications do not regulate the use of a riser cable. As a result, Gen 4 motherboards are designed to connect the GPU directly. Hence leave a limited headroom for the use of a riser cable, and the use of a riser cable may fail when the insertion loss is over the limits due to poor components used in motherboards. Not all motherboards and GPUs are manufactured to the same quality, some have higher headroom than the other. In these rare cases, the easiest ways to resolve the problem are: *Please do not allow cable to directly touch the backplate of GPU which may generate temperatures higher than the riser cables' maximum operating temperature of 75 degrees celsius. If direct contact is unavoidable, applying thermal tape is strongly recommended LINKUP PCIe Riser Cables are designed for various configurations: These angles and orientations are based on a standard vertically mounted motherboard configuration. The "component side" of the graphics card is usually the side most desired for GPU viewing.

  • Works well.
Size: 20cm Style: (Ultra4) Right Angle Color: Black
This is my 2nd time purchase as the first is getting cracked at the mobo connection.However that is not due to the quality of the piece but is my doing as these are not made to be taken out every other day like i have been doing,it is supposed to be left alone once seated.My case NZXT 710i has been modded by me so many times it does not resemble the case at all ,plus i use all the pci slots.Having to replace or add,take out etc etc is the reason why this has happened to the cable.It still works perfecly i just don't trust it any more as there is a small fortune inside the mongrelised case. Also i might add to the fact its $30 cheaper than when i got the first back i think in early 21 when i got the 3080Ti from EVGA so its taken an awful lot of abuse and was one of the first 4.0 X 16 riser cable cable for the 30 series cards.So yeah its done well .Also other LINKUP products i have bought are also of excellent quality. ... show more

  • It just works.
Size: 20cm Style: (Ultra4) Right Angle Color: Black
I originally had a Thermaltake PCIe riser cable. I grabbed it from another system I had (older PC). The computer detected the GPU as @16x 3.0. Some quick search here and there, and got to this cable. Maybe the price is a little bit up there, but I think it was worth it. Good quality, looks good (compared to the Thermaltake cable), fits well in my case, and it just works. Some of my specs: GPU: Asus ROG 6900XT Motherboard: Asus Strix X570 E Gaming PC Case: Asus Strix ROG Helios Windows 10 Pro 64 bits The only thing I did as soon as the system posted was get in the BIOS and changed the PCIE_16x to 4 GEN. By default is on "Auto", but I just wanted to make sure it worked. I don't see much difference in performance (real life apps and some gaming), but if you have a motherboard and GPU that supports PCIe 4 why not? Might as well. ... show more

  • 15cm works at x16 gen4 with ASRock Taichi x670e with 7950x and 3090 ti and corsair 7000d
The 15cm "ultra" works reliably at x16 gen4, between an ASRock Taichi x670e with 7950x and a 3090 ti, using a 7950x. The cable can bend down enough at the MB x16 slot to vertically mount the GPU in the location closest to the motherboard in a corsair 7000d, with a 3D-printed support under the riser's pcie slot for support between the two taller standoffs included with the case. There's still just enough room behind the GPU to route the m.2 slots out to pcie x4 slots instead via slimsas cabling, and to route the USB 2.0 ports to the one vertical backplate behind the GPU. The dynamic link speed works via the riser also - whenever the card is working hard it stays at gen4; when idling it can drop to PCIE 1.1 then switch back up when it needs to do something. Footnote: Note that these particular two m.2 slots are 3 hops from the CPU (via both chipset chips), so they won't be the fastest, but it's nice to not just have them permanently hidden under the GPU with no room for a connector/adapter (when mounting the GPU normally). This way I can run a cheap 10g optical nic from the m.2 that would have been blocked by the GPU, without having to buy an even more expensive motherboard just for built-in 10g (and I prefer optical anyway, so yay). As at least one other reviewer mentioned, the slots in the PCB are slightly narrower than a normal case screw. I suspect they're sized for m3 screws instead of a typical case screw. But it's pretty easy to just use a screw to ream them out along their whole length before installing, by "tightening" the screw beyond where it's screwed into the slot (with nothing on the other side), and working the screw along the slot as you tighten it into the slot, gradually removing just enough PCB material to make the slot wider. Careful not to get any bits into the riser's x16 slot though. Mine arrived with a slight scratch on the x16 slot, and a little bit of something in the riser's slot. But it wasn't significant - easy to remove, not sticky. Just might be a good idea to carefully check the slot and tweezer out anything that's obviously not supposed to be there before installing. Not taking off a star for this because it was probably a fluke, and the riser works great. ... show more

  • Gen 4 PCIe adapter

  • Does what it's supposed to, but lacks some refinement
Size: 20cm Style: (Ultra4) Right Angle Color: Black
First of all mounting this thing is kind of a pain. The slots for the adjustment on the 90º bottom portion aren't preset for anything in particular so you kind of have to guess and check as you mount it and hope the card fits, if it doesn't then you have to remove the card and adjust (no way to screw it in when a large card is on it). The instructions say you're also free to drill if you want to because the board on the bottom is just a dummy, which is nice but there is no pre done measurements / specific branding tie in to make it easy. Good for options, bad for quick use. The standard motherboard standoffs and screws used to mount this in the Corsair 5000X also are slightly larger than the slots, so once the screw is in it's kind of stuck until you pop it out. Mine also arrived with the rear secure tab for the PCIe click in portion broken off and missing. It still works, and luckily this is a very large and heavy desktop so I'm not overly concerned, but it is always a little concerning getting something broken already (even if it's just a plastic security piece). That all aside, it went in fairly well, the cord is manageable, and the card seated and booted up. No major reduction in power for the 3080 RTX I've seen, benchmarks seemed normal. Do note that if you have a chonker of a card (mine is a 3080 RTX FTW3 Ultra from EVGA) you may see a slight bit of sag to the rear even after everything is fully secure. Not nearly as bad as horizontal mounting, but just be aware. Also if mounting a fat card in the Corsair 5000D/5000X (and likely moreso in the 4000 series) it will be VERY close to the glass. If you have good airflow this shouldn't be an issue, and GPU temps themselves are pretty solid for me, but if you have your tower pressed up against something or stuffed under a desk you may see more residual heat. That all being said, I specifically moved this because my RAM (4 DIMM of 16GB Corsair RGB 3200MHz RAM) was running too warm right over the GPU. This dropped my RAM temps at idle about 10 degrees Celsius (no joke) and about 8 while doing RAM intensive items. It also helped lower my PCH temp issue on the ASUS ROG Strix Z690-A motherboard because there was a heat zone trapped behind the card near the M.2 drives, lowering that 4-5º as well. No increase to CPU temp by moving it (1-2º drop at idle) with a top mount H150i AIO in 6 fan Push/Pull setup. Basically everything I wanted to help cool I got (and more than expected) at little to no gain in GPU temps. As for the look compared to horizontal mount... I'm getting used to it. It's not bad but it does look weird. All the space you would "gain" isn't really a gain because of the cable, and working on plugging things in on the bottom half of the board is going to be tighter now. With that said it does help hide out cables you have coming out from your PSU shroud or around the bottom of the motherboard. TLDR: Serves it's purpose, works decently, kind of a pain to mount and get a large card mounted but doable, questionable QA out of the factory with a broken plastic part that doesn't impact functionality. ... show more

  • Works for Corsair 7000D rotated GPU bracket!!
I've tried SEVERAL GPU extension cables, including Corsair's own, and the 15cm version of this extension cable is the only one that properly fits the Corsair 7000D's rotated PCIE bracket for mounting the GPU in the middle of the case. Tested with the Corsair 7000D and RTX 5080 FE and works perfectly! The cable is almost not short enough but just makes the length perfectly without strain once you flex the ends of the cable for that clean look we're all going for. Zero concerns for cable length, and thankfully, not too long like most every other cable (or too short like a few). The only issue was the riser screws from the case was just barely a bit short, so I had to apply pressure from underneath where it screws in, to ensure it seated fully. However I've also had the same issue with even the standard cable, so I suspect it's moreso an issue with the case. Definitely the cable you want for that case. Thrilled to complete my upgrades finally! ... show more

  • Seems to work well with 3080 Ti and Fractal Meshify 2, but expensive
Size: 20cm Style: (Ultra4) Right Angle Color: Black
I bought this because it says it was compatible with the Fractal S2 Meshify at 25cm right angle. I returned the 25cm right angle; it felt too long for the case. The 20cm fits perfectly, with enough room for PCIE cards underneath it for network adapters or capture cards. While it does work with the Meshify 2, it does not line up with the mounting holes on the case (nor does it come with any additional standoffs to attach it if it did). The vertical mounting PCIE slots on the Fractal Meshify 2 seem strong enough to hold it without the support, so this isn't a huge problem. You can see the card "floating" in my pictures. The performance of it seems fine. I have not tested this GPU in the PCIE 4 slot directly, but I have yet to notice a performance loss from the riser on my XC3 3080 Ti. My only issues with this is that it has ugly brick red plastic on it instead of being entirely black (which is honestly a baffling design decision) and the cost. The white version is all white, why is the black version not a neutral black or at least black/grey? But it's mostly hidden by the card. I don't want to take a star off for aesthetics, but at this price point... make it look nicer? The price seems a bit high, but this is one of about four PCIE 4.0 risers on the market, so I guess they can get away with it (or the tech is just that expensive). ... show more
