Description of Enhance Gaming Performance with CORSAIR Premium PCIe 3.0 x16 Extension Cable - 300mm

Deliver all the bandwidth and performance of PCIe 3. 0 to your GPU. A generous 300mm of cable length makes it easy to install your GPU vertically in compatible cases. EMI (electromagnetic interference) shielded to eliminate signal interference and ensure maximum performance. Five-wire banded construction allows for full flexibility to reach through even the tightest gaps. A 90° female PCIe connector minimizes cable strain and makes it easy to fit a vertically-mounted GPU.

Worth the price for less hassle.

This x16 is significantly more expensive than other PCIe 3.0 options, but the build quality is much better. I'd also like to point out that this is one of the lowest profile connectors, which allows it to fit better in some of the built-in vertical mounts.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Almost never

Oh I think it looked cool.

Immediately caused graphics problems with my 1080 TI and my Coursera 5000x RGB housing. Airflow was poor because the fans were stuck to the glass. This caused freezes and artifacts after about 20 minutes into the game. Disappeared immediately when I put the card back into the board.

Pros
  • is also understandable for the old
Cons
  • Everything is fine

$60 and they can't include screws or gaskets?

The spare MOBO stands I have are too short for this thing. When I connect the GPU to the vertical I/O slots and try to insert it, the front part buckles down and the rear part doesn't fully seat. This thing is $60 and they couldn't have bothered to include some bigger screws? I literally have a 5000x case made specifically for this and I'm having this problem. Absolutely funny

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Some flaws

A little longer than expected but I like the way it looks.

As stated in the title. It looks and feels good, as you'd expect from Corsair, but it's longer than I expected. I haven't actually bothered to measure how long the adapter I need from my PCI slot so I recommend anyone buying this to get a tape measure and double check before buying.

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was
