creed0330 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I have a Corsair 680X case and just ordered the Hydro X. Considering mounting my GPU vertically, what is a good riser cable? Some that I have seen seem like they would be too long. Looking for recommendations, thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knacker40 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Think mine is the Phanteks one- seems to do a good enough job on my 680x build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zotty Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 hey buddy https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-%7C-Parts/PC-Components/Power-Supplies/Premium-PCIe-3-0-x16-Extension-Cable-300mm/p/CC-8900419 that will fit fine. given the room you have between the Mobo and the vertical slots you would be fine with 300mm. using one my self and can only report good things.. not same case but same sort of space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeDoyen Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 On my former 680x, I started with a 30cm riser, and ended up swapping it for a 20cm. 30 was a tad too long. 20 still has a comfortable slack, but tidier Either are fine anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better long then short, I ordered mine, put it in yesterday and is about 30cm too short.... thought it would be close, 1000D is a big case lol... plugged into the second pci E for now hope not to see a dif in graphics if I do Ill order the longer one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyteam78 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I can recommend Thermaltake TT Gaming riser cable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y5YNGDJ/ref=pe_825000_114212990_TE_FOCE_n_id Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
