Early on in my computer build, I was getting a lot of freezing issues...where the computer would just randomly freeze, sometimes rebooting on its own...sometimes just remaining frozen until I did a hard shutdown.  I had several very nice people try to help me figure out the cause.  I switched out just about every component or tested them...all to no avail.  
 
But there was one thing I didn't realize to be an issue.  It was the vertical mount.  As a "last resort", I took my GPU off of the vertical mount and inserted it directly into the motherboard....and didn't have the issue again.  Those on here surmise that it was an issue with the cable.  
 
I sometimes fell like I'd like to use the vertical mount again, but if I do, I would need a new cable, so my question is, does anyone have any info on a QUALITY cable that can handle this generation of GPU?

    It can be done, as I have a few running on riser cables.
     
    When I get the time, I'll look for more information of the ones I'm using; I have several brands & lengths
     
    NOTE:  Every Riser Mfg & horizontal bracket Mfg - Is NOT on the Same page for mounting hole locations - for the Riser to bracket interface. 
           - I have no idea why this is not standardized, I just know from experience that it is Not Standardized
     
    LIAN LI PCIe 4.0 x16 Risers have not caused me any issues.
     
    I have both the 200mm & 600mm Riser in use with EVGA 3080Ti FTW3 Ultra, with OC & no issues 
     
    - PW-PCI-420 = 200mm
     
    - PW-PCI-4-60X = 600mm



     
     My Rules of Risers / best practices for Riser Cables


    1) - avoid sharp bends - this is a best practice (use something round to create the curve, a sharpie is handy)
     
    2) - get ones that lock to the GPU & MB - this is a best practice
     
    3) - buy the rated PCIe speed you need - less likely to cause issues
     
    4) - buy from a supplier with a friendly return policy; because, bad riser cables can happen

    Both of my builds use LinkUp Technology PCIe 4.0 riser cables in both of my builds (EVGA 3090 FTW3 Ultra & ASUS 4090 TUF OC) without any issues but they aren't cheap.

    I recommend though going with quality over going cheap when it comes to vertical mount cables.

    I think this one would work for me....but it is out of stock.  
    [font="'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 26px"]10cm - Ultra PCIe 4.0 X16 Riser Cable Extreme - 90 Degree Socket - White
    https://linkup.one/linkup-ultra-pcie-4-0-x16-riser-cable-rtx3090-x570-b550-rx6900xt-tested-shielded-extreme-high-speed-vertical-mount-gaming-pci-express-gen4-2021-universal-90-degree-socket-10cm-3-0-gen3-compatible-white/
     
    The one I currently have is 16cm and it was really hard to get it connected to the motherboard because of the length and stiffness of the cable.  The 10cm would work better.  I'll just have to wait for it to be in stock.  It said something about "finding it on Amazon", but didn't see this specific cable there.

    Keep in mind thinner cables are more likely to have problems then thicker but you are right that they do flex easier. Mostly the biggest risk is less insolation around the wires as well as an increased risk of the cable breaking inside and shorting out.

    The one I linked,...would that be considered a good quality cable?

    Hello RAVEN,
     
    If you don't feel like waiting for new stock on LINKUP (which on the other hand i recommend as the other people above, proven good riser cables), Lian Li, CableMod and EZDIY-FAB all makes Gen4 risers which i all would trust and recommend.

    So, I ended up finding a LINKUP cable for the GPU on Amazon and it is being shipped to me.  
     
    My serious question is,.....will there be a noticeable downside to mounting vertically, using this cable?  It is the 4.0, but some suggest higher latency due to the use of a longer cable, rather than the GPU being plugged right into the motherboard.
     
    And that it may not cool as well in vertical.
     
    Thoughts?

    Nope, it's extremely miniscule. And since none of the cards can even use the full bandwidth of PCIe 4.0, even that unnoticeable difference has no meaning.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DKVVtirNM8&ab_channel=GamersNexus <- will explain this in detail and with testing, there are probably more videos on the topic even, bit this is the one i remembered for now.
     
    Ohh yeah and about the cooling, it will solely depend on how much space there is left between the sidepanel/glass and the graphics card fans. For that exact reason i like EZDIY-FAB's vertical mounting, which has a mechanism to allow you to angle it from 0 to 45 degrees, giving those fans extra space and not looking too bad in the end either.

    The mount I originally purchased was a Cooler Master V2....which apparently is PCI3 3 cable.  That could have been why my system was constantly freezing.  I hope the PCIe 4 cable will work.

    Just curious, have you tried that 3.0 cable with forcing Gen3 in your BIOS aswell? It proved to solve it for folks in the past, not that i think it's a great bandaid.

    No, I didn't do that in BIOS.  Honestly, didn't know that was a thing.  I'm going to assume this LINKUP 4 cable will not be problematic, though.

    They will both run the same, I have tested both with a same results, but of a Nothing burger.

    So,...the reason I stopped using the vertical mount is because I was experiencing random system freezes...reboots...having to do a hard shutdown [because the system was frozen].  When I plugged the GPU straight into the motherboard, I had no further issues.  
     
    Are you saying that the PCIe 4.0 cable might still cause this problem?

    Oh hi Raven, I might have misunderstood , I was only saying that either cable should run a 3080/90 just fine , as far as performance, I have tested both Coolermaster and LinkUp cables in 3.0 and 4.0 and they ran the same and would post the same numbers in testing like a Port Royal run , I Thought you were trying to get more performance out of one of them, Ya if it works in the slot and the riser cable is causing issues , try another for sure

     I was assuming the first cable to be the cause of the freezing...and hoping the LINKUP cable will allow it to work properly in vertical setup.
     
    But I do appreciate your input on the differences.

    Good luck, I have had good luck with these cables, Got one on my 3090ti in my wife's machine, works great, even though I modded it to work on a deferent riser stand

    Yeah, I will have to modify a coolmaster to accept the LINKUP cable.  Looks like it should fit pretty well.

    So,...I saw some reviews of the Linkup cable and some people were saying that it wasn't actually running a 4.0 speeds, bottlenecks, and PC crashing and freezing issues using the cable.  I'd still like to get a cable for vertical mount, but after my previous issues, I'm worried about even this cable.  Now, it could be that some people did something wrong.  What is your opinion?
     
    Here is the amazon reviews link:

    I dont recall the brand, but it was on amazon, 100$ cad and 1 meter long. Never had any issue since 2019 on many cards. Run all games 2160p, 100% gpu utilization , overclocked.
     
    I have a wallmounted PC. intel 12600k @5ghz
     
    I also did some benchmark to see where I was comparing to others and I match or exceed the average GPU score on psy.
     
    GPU Z see pcie 16x 4.0.
     
    edit found the amazon order listing, I have the 100cm long : LINKUP [100 cm] PCIe 3.0 [Future 4.0 Ready] 16x 64GB/s Shielded Twin-axial PCI Express Riser Cable Port Extension Card | Straight Socket

    RAVEN, i could only repeat my suggestions from before: EZDIY-FAB, Lian Li or CableMod (now excluding Linkup).
    If we need to find links for any one of them, just let me know!

    I changed my last post because I misread your last post, Epsolike.  I'd be grateful for links to these brands, please!  Thank you!

    No problem.
    EZDIY-FAB:
    https://ezdiy-fab.com/collections/vertical-mount (if you need their mounting aswell, there is a nice one you can angle)
    https://ezdiy-fab.com/collections/pcie-riser-cable-series (these are just the cables)
    If you found the one item/product you want you can order it from them or find it on Amazon/Amazon DE aswell (i don't know your location so it's harder to suggest).
     
    Lian Li:
    https://lian-li.com/product/pci-e-4-0-x16-riser-cable/
    Can be found on Amazon and Newegg and probably elsewhere aswell if need be (this is the SKU number to search for: PW-PCI-420)
    They also have their own vertical kit if you don't only need the cable, please search it on the first Lian Li link, just similarly go down the page and look for Model/SKU number which you can search in webshops.
     
    CableMod:
    https://usstore.cablemod.com/product-category/accessories/vertical-pci-e-brackets/ (US Shop, both cables and riser kits)
    https://eustore.cablemod.com/product-category/accessories/vertical-pci-e-brackets/ (EU Shop, both cables and riser kits)
    Unsure if these can be found on other platforms, do the same method where you find the model/SKU for the product you want and search that on the webshop of yours, make sure it's exact match!

    Oh,...I did have another question about using these types of cables.  Is there anything I have to do in BIOS or elsewhere when using one?

    If it's a GEN4 cable then no. If it was GEN3, you would probably have to set the PCIe slot in BIOS to GEN3.
