With the Riser Cable SST-RC04B-400 from SilverStone, the PCI Express x16 slot available on a motherboard can be strategically positioned elsewhere inside or outside the case. This is particularly useful when frequently swapping different graphics cards and wanting to avoid damaging the motherboard slot, or when more space is desired during the installation of expansion cards.

In modding projects or in cases that deviate from the standard ATX format, it may also be necessary or beneficial to place PCI Express expansion cards in unconventional locations. A significant advantage of a riser cable is the ability to position graphics cards vertically, allowing them to be mounted parallel to the motherboard. This way, the cooler of the card can be fully showcased.
