X870 Tomahawk Max Wifi PZ & MAG PANO 100R PZ case - Compatible PCIe 5.0 Riser cable.

Hi All,
I haven't built a PC since Intel Core Duo CPUs and ATi branded GPU were the new hotness (about 2010) and so I thought it was time to try it again before it gets completely out of my price range.

I was looking to use the above mobo and case alongwith an AMD 9070XT GPU (either Sapphire Nitro+ or XFX Mercury OC) and was quite taken by the idea of mounting the GPU vertically.

However, the case doesn't come with a riser cable and MSI only seem to sell a PCIe 4.0 one instead of a PCIe 5.0 one.

Are PC Ie 5.0 riser cables fairly generic nowadays, or do I need a compatible alternatives and how do I tell?

Thanks very much for any help.

Using riser cable tend to cause weird problem from time to time, install horizontally directly into the PCIe slot would be my honest suggestion.
