How long of a pci-e riser cable do i need ?

[andrewmp6]

I'm gonna get the thermaltake view 71 case and want to use the vertical gpu mount.But i see the riser cables go from 200mm up to 1000mm,How long do i really need?

200 meters to 1000 meters...wat.

I'd say 20 centimeters should be enough, tho I'm not sure about this case specifically.

Sorry mm lack of sleep gets me sometimes.

200mm aka 20cm should be fine, could get a 300mm aka 30cm one just to be on the safe side

 

also if you have a ATX board with multiple 16x slots you can always use the lower 16x slot on the motherboard (less distance for the riser cable)

Its gonna be atx and ill have to use the top 16x with it.
