PCI-Express x1 extension cable?

[BlackThought]

Is it possible? i google but dont get good results.

Im getting a capture card Hauppauge Colossus, it's a PCI E1.

Problem is , i have two slots, but my GPU covers both of them.



This is the MOBO i have

It was stupid of me to not double check to see if it would fit,but its ordered now, and on its way.

How many GPUs do you have? Both PCIe x1 slots are blocked? What's in the second PCIe x16 slot? You can put a PCIe x1 card in a PCIe x16 slot.

I have one GPU, i tried moving it to the other slot but my SATA cables are in the way.

5770 is long lol

I really need a cable extender, but every single one i find is either 4.7 or 6 inches.

I need one thats gonna go around my GPU

You can put the Capture card in the bottom x16 slot.
