Posted November 17, 2016 All right, I love this forum, I need some help with an upcoming build, the case is limited in size and I'm trying to conserve as much space as possible. The case dimensions are 22" (L), 17" (W), 8" (Deep). I'm sticking with the Mini-ITX platform (FM2+) and the mobo has one PCIe 3.0 slot. I am installing a Graphics Card and I am trying to find a good PCIe x16 riser cable to lay the card on it's side like in Linus' Desk Build OR as an alternative idea a right or left angle PCI angle card. I am also using a ZALMAN CNPS80F to drop space requirements. I'm at my wits end and I really want this to go smoothly and NewEgg is showing me some *interesting* results. Thank you in advanced for the help! _Seagate_ Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/692389-pcie-x-16-risers-or-cables/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Builds: The Toaster Project! Northern Bee! The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0) Spoiler "Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. #1. Treat others as you would like to be treated. #2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt. #3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place. Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier.
