Hi, I just built a PC with the AsRock B650M-HDV/M.2 and an MSI RTX 3080 SUPRIM X 10 GB graphics card.
What I forgot to consider was the size of that graphics card. There is just enough space (I think) to insert my Asus Xonar Essence STX into the lowest PCIe slot, but it will no doubt block airflow to a couple of the fans on the 3080, as it will almost come in contact with it.
So I thought it could be a good solution to try this riser card with cable, so that I can move the placement of the sound card. (Power to the sound card will still be provided via a 4-pin molex connector which I have connected to my PSU).
Any thoughts? Does it look like a good solution? Do you know of any issues I haven't considered?
