What is Reddit's opinion of LOUQE Cobalt RC260 Twinax Gen4+ PCI-e 4.0 Riser Cable?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Loque PCIE gen 4 cable

I just decide to went this one since it fits perfectly in T1 and less contact with the back of your GPU

Hi!! Thanks so much for this and the detailed explanation as well :) question regarding the CPU, i know that the formd T1 still comes with a gen 3 riser cable so using a CPU that doesn’t have integrated graphics it might run into display issues and require some tweaking in the BIOS

So I was thinking of getting a gen 4 riser cable https://www.amazon.co.uk/LOUQE-Cobalt-RC260-Twinax-Riser/dp/B08D88XFDT which may enable me to use ryzen 5 5600x? What do u think lemme know! 😁

I'm currently using one of these in my T1: Amazon.com: LOUQE Cobalt RC260 Twinax Gen4+ PCI-e 4.0 Riser Cable: Computers & Accessories

I have had no issues using the cable with my 6800 XT and bios set to Gen4.

Heads up that the Louqe PCIe riser is available on Amazon now at AmazonSmile: LOUQE Cobalt RC260 Twinax Gen4+ PCI-e 4.0 Riser Cable: Computers & Accessories -- good luck with trade!

If price is no object, I'd suggest the Louqe Gen4 riser cable: https://www.amazon.com/LOUQE-Cobalt-RC260-Twinax-Riser/dp/B08D88XFDT.

Here’s one from louqe. On the pricier side though.

That’s right blue wires are part of the riser. It is made by louqe. https://www.amazon.com/LOUQE-Cobalt-RC260-Twinax-Riser/dp/B08D88XFDT/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=LOUQE&qid=1622920747&sr=8-2

Louqe

Don't know if it'll fit though.

Now available for preorder on Amazon US.

Just get a riser with individual flexible wires so you don't have to fold it. The LOUQE PCI-e 4.0 riser or the Velkase VC-S290G4 PCI-e 4.0 riser would work.

I got this one from LOUQUE since it was a bit shorter and was readily available at the time, but Velkase sells a similar one that you can get. The blue cable PCIe 4.0 isn't rigid so you don't need to fold it and create unnecessary thickness.

What BIOS, what Riser cable?

Your problem is most likely the cable. Consider switching to an overspecced riser cable, keep the length under 30cm. Make sure that the riser card is being powered by a psu cable.

I've been running Gen 4 x8/x8 on the C_payne x8/x8 card since 2020. The two bios's I can confirm work are 11n (5600x) and F16b (5800X3D). RTX 3080.

I use a LOUQE Cobalt RC260 Twinax Gen4+ PCI-e 4.0 Riser Cable. https://www.amazon.com/LOUQE-Cobalt-RC260-Twinax-Riser/dp/B08D88XFDT

It's out of stock right now. Supposedly there is a PCIE 5 compliant version releasing later in 2022. https://twitter.com/LouqeSweden/status/1471778676723396609

Most 2020/early 2021 era linkup pcie 4.0 riser cables were not gen 4 compliant, dunno about linkup cables made after that period. ADT's PCIE 4.0 cable is supposedly very bad.

So you were able to put your gpu directly into the motherboard? Without using any cables like these: https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/B08D88XFDT/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=LOUQE&qid=1648708902&sr=8-4 ?

I am sorry. I actually wanted to know which riser cables you used to connect the gpu with the mainboard. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/B08D88XFDT/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=LOUQE&qid=1648708902&sr=8-4

in r/nvidia I found a comment about it, I remembered the same thing:

>The impact is typically less than a few percent going from a x16 PCIE 4.0 to x16 PCIE 3.0.

Your options are leave it at Gen3 or get a very pricey Gen4 cable, there are only two companies making these that I know of:

LINKUP sells many different ones (length, angle), I remember they had (planned?) white ones, not seeing them now

LOUQE sells this only one length for the Ghost S1

One other thing to to note: Gen3 mode works just fine up to the point you reset CMOS, then you'll need to get back to BIOS by either disassembling and plugging the card directly into the slot or plugging a Gen3 card in.

This is the best riser cable for Velka cases.

If you are wanting a gen 4 riser, i highly suggest the Louqe cobalt gen 4 riser,

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08D88XFDT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

im using one myself and getting full gen 4 speeds and can enable resizable bar, just a pointer you will have to carefully bend it into shape to create the "c" shape under the riser part for the gpu, if not it will interfere with a fan above the motherboard

Just built one yesterday using this: LOUQE Cobalt RC260 Twinax Gen4+ PCI-e 4.0 Riser Cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08D88XFDT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_CQMMM2RNCCPJPGXGWZ9Y?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Works great!

Yup its the perfect length! Link: https://www.amazon.com/LOUQE-Cobalt-RC260-Twinax-Riser/dp/B08D88XFDT

as has been said, amazon can get it to you relatively fast https://www.amazon.com/LOUQE-Cobalt-RC260-Twinax-Riser/dp/B08D88XFDT/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=pcie+gen+4+riser&qid=1621638832&sr=8-4

It’s the same one is use in the case which is proven to be good.

Yeah, PCIe riser cables are weird, especially for GPUs or other high bandwidth things.

The HDPlex Riser cable allows for really tight bends without any problem and is designed for such.
While pricey I replaced the original riser of my case with the RC260 Twinax Cobalt and it pretty much isn't noticeable that the CPU is connected via a riser.

loque has one https://www.amazon.com/LOUQE-Cobalt-RC260-Twinax-Riser/dp/B08D88XFDT/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=LOUQE&qid=1610002685&sr=8-2

There's a new one made by Louqe for the Ghost S1 that could work, though may be a bit long for the Sentry 2.0: https://www.amazon.com/LOUQE-Cobalt-RC260-Twinax-Riser/dp/B08D88XFDT

I stumbled upon the Louqe riser cable listing today:

It's a pre-order, but at least we know its release is imminent.

Now available for pre-order on Amazon US.

It's because of the new riser. It went up like $30 because of it. The riser alone is $95: https://www.amazon.com/LOUQE-Cobalt-RC260-Twinax-Riser/dp/B08D88XFDT/
