I jusr asked of an opinion wether what could happen in the worse case and haven't still got an answer like:

Well yeah Frozen,riser cable can damage your components cuz of this and that..

No,Frozen riser cable can not damage your components cuz of this and that...

Becasue neither are valid affirmations.

 

There is no reason it would damage anything, but nobody can't say with 100% certainty that it won't, since anything can always happen to be defective and break something if you're really unlucky.

I am mystified what the source of this bizarre phobia of a riser cable could be. It would be more understandable if someone heard a garbled account of the NZXT H1 defect and became suspicious of riser cables in general, but the OP's issues go back to before that was even a story. Why the fixation on a riser cable when so many other parts already in the PC are just as likely to cause damage? (That is to say, not likely at all, but within the realm of possible freak occurrence.)  This is the type of irrational worry I am used to seeing from first-time builders, not someone who supposedly has built 4 systems. 

 

OP, you could start six more threads about this but here are the facts:

 

If anybody told you there is 0% chance of the riser causing a problem, they'd be lying.

 

If anybody told you there is a significant chance it will cause a problem, they'd be lying too.

 

You've gotten all the advice you're going to get. Use it or don't.

LTT used multiple of these cables to span a GPU across a room. 

The worst thing that will happen is that you'll lose FPS, have graphical issues or have a warmer GPU because you should never use a Native Vertical Riser slot in a case because they're bad for GPU airflow.

 

Best case scenario? It works perfectly fine and you can finally breathe a sigh of relief and laugh to yourself that you worried too much.

Still hesitating to install graphics card vertically.

I dunno everything bad in past 3 years happens to me,and simply think that it could damage either of components.

I'm so anxious that I wanted to purchase another rise cable from Asus thinking that one maybe is more reliable.

But then again curiosity kills me to install the card.

Guys,please help.

This is the cable I want to try:
