Hi everyone, may i enquire where in sg can i get a pcie 1x to 1x RIGHT ANGLED riser.

I so noob, i bought a normal one at SLS very excited go home try to fit and realise it cannot clear my casing so i cant screw the card to the casing. sad.

So i went back SLS trying to change the cable but to no avail after walking many shops. they only have the normal pcie 1x to 1x riser.

Reason i need the riser because i wanna relocate my sound card a few slots below. its sitting just directly below my gpu. and is making my gpu very hot when i play game.

Hope you guys can give me advice on this. Pardon my punctuation and thanks many many in advance !! ^____^

attached is a sample pic of the right angled version and the normal one.

the right angled version:


the normal version:

If you really cannot find this particular PCI-E riser in SLS, got to buy from Amazon instead.

Alternatively, why not just use your current PCI-E riser on your soundcard and just put your soundcard on the PSU/floor of the casing and have wires poking out of the PCI slot holes instead? Will look very ugly and ghetto, but at least you can use the soundcard and still can keep your GPU cool.

Can also consider getting a B85 M-ATX mobo instead, most B85 M-ATX mobos will have 2X PCI-E X16 slots. It is a very much more expensive option though.
