You will have to select Gen4 PCIe in BIOS and it will work in Gen4. Which is not an issue, considering the card is Gen4.

 

I don't think Gen5 extensions exist, because of signal integrity issues.

Hi everyone, one question. I'm building a new pc with a mobo that have PCIe gen 5 x16 and rtx 3060. I want to mount the GPU vertically but all i could find on the internet is a PCIe extenson cale 16x gen 4 . This will create some kinf of compatibility problem between mobo and gpu? or it will work just fine?

 

Thanks
