Extender finally arrived, but I managed to break the standoff in my MB when moving it to accommodate a shorter board. Warning to people here who try to do it with a screwdriver, it takes 0 torque to break it off when screwing it back in. So if you are ever doing it yourself, either use your fingers or just apply 0 torque to it. Luckily for me the extender comes with holes for different sizes, so I kind of "bent" the board towards the mb, so a screw could catch another hole without a standoff. I have no clue how to get the broken bit of the stand off out of the MB though as it broke flush and there is nothing to grab. I am slowly breaking the MB bit by bit... Here is the extender if anyone is interested: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005515040875.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.4.65201802CTP9Vb I got the F44AB as it supports PCIe gen 5 and has a plug for a power cable. Forgot to mention that everything works. Here is a benchmark on a PCIe gen 3 port:
