PCIe 1X to 16X Riser for GPU Extension

This riser cable connects a graphics card to a motherboard slot using a USB 3.0 link. It adapts a single-lane PCIe 1X connection into a 16X physical slot. The design suits builders who need to position a GPU away from the board for mining or compact cases.

Bandwidth limited to PCIe 1X electrical speeds

The adapter provides a 16X mechanical socket but operates at 1X electrical throughput. USB 3.0 carries the signal between the two ends. This limits performance for modern high-end cards that require full 16X bandwidth. Buyers needing maximum GPU throughput should use a direct motherboard slot instead.

Highlights

  • Extends a 1X slot to full 16X width
  • USB 3.0 cable carries the signal to the GPU
  • Riser lets you mount the card away from the board

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1X-to-16X riser or a different lane configuration?

This model only offers a 1X-to-16X lane mapping, so there is no alternative version to choose from.

What does the USB 3.0 label mean for actual GPU throughput?

The USB 3.0 cable carries the PCIe 1X electrical link; the graphics card runs at 1X bandwidth even though it plugs into a 16X slot.
