Riser Cable Issue
Riser Cable Issue
You're facing a challenge with your ASUS X670E-I and the riser cable setup. It seems the MOBO isn't delivering Gen3 speeds even when Auto or Gen4 is selected. You've tried two different riser cables without success, and you're dealing with a Lian Li H20 case that needs a riser. It's frustrating, but there might be some solutions. Have you considered checking if your motherboard supports the required PCIe version for the AMD 7800X3D? Also, it could help to verify the correct cable type or consult Asus support for compatibility.
They often have to resort to alternatives, usually your only option is to switch things up. I favor Loque's model, which has proven reliable. https://louqe.com/products/cobalt-rc260-...iser-cable A Gen5 capable riser cable is unnecessary since it offers no extra advantage and might even contribute to the issue.
I received my Linkup Gen4 today. The Lian Li H20 came with a Gen4, which made my MOBO hesitate to post if I used that version. That’s why I upgraded to Gen5. I also ordered the Louqe model. I expect it might take some time for delivery, and I’m worried it may not fit in the H20. My main aim is to install a water-cooled 5090/5080 in the Lian Li case. For my 7800X3D, I’m using the Thermalright AXP90-X53 Full 42.58 CFM cooler, and I was pleasantly surprised by its performance—though it does produce a bit of noise.
