Need to find a Pcie x16 extension

bmspendley · May 22, 2015

Does anyone know where I could find one, I'm doing a wall mounted Pc, and i need an extension for the gpu. It should be a foot long. Silver preferably.

They may not always work when extended but give it a try:

I have the same problem in my build.

The cheap ribbon based cables are ok for a distance up to ~15 cm. I have a 30 cm one and it only works with PCI-E 2.0 because this low end cables a nigthmare for highspeed signals.

With four layers of aluminum foil around each of the four ribbon cables I managed to get it working with PCI-E 3.0. But it's not realy a good solution.

For long distances you have to buy professional cables like the 8KC3-0726-0500 from M3. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Interconnect/Home/Products/ProductCat/?N=8705059+3293441518&rt=rud

They cost ~100$.
