Hello, I have a query. I'm setting up a new PC with a motherboard that supports PCIe Gen 5 x16 and an RTX 3060. I need to mount the GPU vertically, but what I've found online only mentions PCIe extensions for Gen 4. Will this cause any compatibility issues between the motherboard and the GPU? Or should it work smoothly? Thanks!

Select Gen4 PCIe in BIOS and it functions in Gen4. This isn't a concern since the card supports Gen4. I believe Gen5 extensions aren't available due to signal integrity problems.
