Don't cheap out on a PCIe riser like that. It's a very fast standard that's not designed to go very far and has pretty much no protection on it for long distances. That one you linked to is crap and will probably simply not work at all in a noise environment, and I'd be shocked if it ran at high speed. You can't just buy the cheapest cable when buying a PCIe riser, you're not buying a 1M 1080p HDMI cable, cheap ones will fail.

Looking that listing, there's already a bunch of people complaining that it doesn't work in the reviews. If you want to get one which will work you need to be spending $15+, e.g. here's a better one that's actually designed to be a PCIe riser (instead of your link which is just a Chinese company playing connect the connectors, which is also how you end up with absurd things like passive VGA->HDMI cables). I'm also not supporting any product, here's another one that looks well designed.

Maybe get a PCIe riser for your graphics card.. you might run into more clearance issues with the card up any higher, so on second thought, maybe look for a flexible PCIe riser.

Fcking expensive at $27 + shipping though..

Just get something to extend the pcie slot. Like this:

this riser thing wont work, they are x1 =)

This cable is x16, commonly used for vertical mount. It will work flawless

yes of course there is cheaper - BUT cheaper means crappier!! You would likely WANT it to work yes? That means you want a Shielded cable..

Also what length do you want /need?

If you're going to use a video card, yes! Onboard, not really. Find a pcie ribbon cable, and you can keep the video card connections inside the case while keeping the rear of the PC clean.

Still don't fucking own it, but its the right size for my components; however in my case there's straight up not enough room for the card to fit WITH the motherboard. So I'm planning on getting a pci-extention cord so I can have some more wiggle room.

It's the Thermaltake view 31 rgb,With cases themaltake, for vertical GPU, it needs to the riser

is this fine

I got the 200mm length cable.

edit: no bracket http://imgur.com/a/etUTK

There are flexible ones like the ones from thermaltake. They also come with different lengths.

First, I would want to check to see what the speed of the wifi connection is inside the student housing. That card seems to me to be way overdoing it. I would recommend something more like this, especially if you're going to primarily using public wifi.

Then again, the first one isn't that much more, and it would be a lot more future proof for down the road.

And you can definitely use a PCIe riser, just be sure not to cheap out on it, and try to get by with as short a one as possible. ThermalTake is usually pretty good

Thermaltake 200mm PCI-e riser, It is a good one but I would suggest you to take a 300mm at least !

It's kinda like an extention for pcie slots, you just plug it into your pcie slot and you can plug in your gpu into the riser so you wouldnt have to cut your case

Here's a link to one if that helps: Thermaltake TT Gaming PCI-E x16 3.0 Black Extender Riser Cable 200mm AC-053-CN1OTN-C1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y5YNGDJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_LWFLDbJ03562E

You'll need a PCIe riser cable.

Thermaltake makes good riser cables. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y5YNGDJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_2kx2Cb53JR57B

Just know that vertical mounts can hurt GPU performance due to lack of airflow next to the glass side panel.

Not really. Plugging into the slot isn't the problem, it's that the card won't physically fit inside the case. Those slim cases are usually crammed full, even if you got a riser card or one of those extensions there's just nowhere inside the case the card will fit.

I suppose you could get something like this and just leave the card sitting on your desk outside the computer.

You know, you could just get a cheap case to hold only the GPU. Something like:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133347

for $37 shipped, and then a riser for $27 to bridge between the two

https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Gaming-Black-Extender-AC-053-CN1OTN-C1/dp/B06Y5YNGDJ/

and you're back in the game. That's still $64 more though, which sucks. Also, sorry about this whole situation. It sucks to be hyped for a new GPU and it won't fit.

How much clearance do you need? Like is it just a mm too long, or a whole inch, or what?

edit: I saw the video you posted, but the fan is still in the way. It looks like you're only a few MM short if you took the fan out, is that right?

Yeah, but could you only use the one from them? What about the on from Thermaltake or did Phanteks made the holes so you can only use their?

The 300mm is going to have a lot of slack and flop around. Also, thermaltake risers have good reviews, you just have to check elsewhere

Do you have the frame?

You can buy PCIe riser ribons on amazon for £30. Might be an easier option.

You can’t find a riser cable?

Literally go on amazon and type pcie x16 riser

You’ll also need a mounting bracket (some cases have one built in) and need to make sure there is enough room.

The case has mounting points to position it that way. You then use an extension (riser) to connect it to the motherboard.

It'll fit. My strix 1080 is a bit longer than your 2070 and there's still a decent gap for a longer GPU.

The case has the mounting built in, but you will have to buy a pcie extender cable like this to plug it in.

Also be aware that in vertical mount you'll have worse GPU temps as the fans sit very close to the glass.

A 200mm Riser cable: https://www.amazon.ca/Thermaltake-AC-053-CN1OTN-C1-Gaming-Extender-Components/dp/B06Y5YNGDJ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524173169&sr=8-1&keywords=tt+200mm

My case, the 570x Mirror Black, has the appropriate mount on the back panel to stick the gpu that way. Just needed a pci riser cable to connect it to the motherboard, 200mm is just enough to reach the top pci port on the motherboard.
