Hye i'm planing to use pcie riser cable, i got 2 questions.

1 - What brand should i use? Anything wrong with cheaper ones(Still yg ade brand la, like Tecware). The Cooler master, same spec, same length,
but way more expensive, am i missing anything??

2 - Are things i should know before buying one? and to know while using it?? Safety precautions.
GPU is pcie device that is not hot swappable, hnce it must be secured tightly with screw,, if loose, any shock to pc can cause damage,
or pc to restart(i experienced this already, multiple times, haha).



ANyway, here is my spec,
i3 10105f - Pcie 3.0
Mobo - Asus Prime B460m R2.0 - 3.0
GPU - Rx 570 sapphire PUlse - also 3.0


EXtras - i think this falls under modding,, but do advise me.*

My setup is actually open setup. Yeap, gpu don't have much steady support other rubber i used to make it stand straight lol.
But i suspect, the weight of gpu is slightly bending my mobo. MOthboard also i placed on rubber cubes, place at bottom of every screw holes.
hehehe. v stupid. But it works for 3 years now. No issue. Though i have t be careful not to accidentally hit the table with my long legs when standing up,
else the shock causes pc to restart, sometimes.
ANyway,
I recently cleaned my open setup,,replaced new ruber(i think this one softer). And, it's not happy,, smtimes, tk nk start.
sO, OUT OF Fear, i dissambled it again.
Now, MY PLAN,,, Mobo, i got nothing to worry,, i can place on flat cotton padded surface - all very light,, cooler pun basic je,,,i got this.
BUt the heavy gpu,, i wnna isolate - Hnce using the riser cable.. and place it on different structure,, sitting flat - the gpu have MEtal Back plate.
ANY advise?? Can the riser work well???
IS it sensitive??? EVErything need to be held tightly and precisely gitu??



I don't have a casing currently and i hate to use one though, unless no choice.

Having your PC exposed outside and prone to get tampering from external force is just asking for trouble.

Got used to being carefull, been doing this since 2009, my setup last v long.
Thanks for advise though. I know cause i been experiencing it.
It's just, that ease part replacing, dust cleaning, cooling benefit way out benefits having a case, for me.

Need many hard disk? i don't hv to check my case ability and wiring.
need to swap? it's direct.
need heatsink cleaning and thermal paste replacement. easy.
Everything is easy, clean, spacious(to operate, my finger mmg barbarian la), cooler as well.

Cooler Master is pricier for build quality, but not a must if you secure everything well.

Since your using as a test system I can see why you went open bench.

Not all PCIE risers are made equal, esp if you want Gen4 speeds
