I'm working on a setup with a Gigabyte TRX50 motherboard, and I need to install a third RTX 3090. The two GPUs I already have are blocking the available PCIe slots. I'm on the lookout for a very slim PCIe extension cable that can bend 90 degrees at the motherboard connector. If anyone has suggestions for this or other solutions that might allow me to install the 3090 outside the case, I'd really appreciate it!

You could look into PCIe riser cables; they're quite popular for using GPUs in vertical positions, especially in compact cases.
Have you thought about using PCIe riser cables? They can really help free up space for additional GPUs on your motherboard. Plus, they can give you some flexibility on how to position the cards!
Yeah, a bendy PCIe extender would be ideal!
I get that, but organizing three GPUs in a full tower might be tricky. If your setup was more of an open-air test bench, this could work better!
Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, a standard PCI riser won't fit in my setup. My second 3090 is too close to the last PCI slot, only about 5mm of clearance. I really need something that bends at the motherboard end.
