A PCIe riser cable is a handy accessory that can be used as an extension between your motherboard PCIe slot and the best graphics cards. It can be used to install a GPU vertically or in a different place within the chassis. We’ve rounded up some of the best risers out there.

Choosing the right PCIe riser cable

Deciding on the right PCIe riser cable depends on a few factors, namely what you plan on connecting to it and what case you have. A PCIe riser cable like the LINKUP Ultra PCIe 4.0 x16 Riser Cable is great for those with a PCIe 4.0 capable PC, which requires an AMD Ryzen 5000 and AMD 500 or Intel 11th Gen and Intel 500 series processor and motherboard.

If you do not have a PCIe 4.0 capable PC and don’t plan on taking advantage of the features that come with it, the Thermaltake TT Gaming PCIe 3.0 x16 Riser Cable is also a good choice on PCIe 3.0. If you fancy yourself a custom cryptocurrency mining rig, the LTERIVER PCIe 3.0 x16 Riser Cable VER006C is a brilliant investment to connect numerous GPUs to a single PSU and motherboard.
