LINKUPPCIE 3.0 16x Shielded Extreme High-Speed PCI Express Riser Port Extension Cable 2020 Rev | Straight Socket [20cm] - TT Compatible | Black & Red

I bought this to move my PCI Express x4 SSD hard disk (an 800 GB Corsair Neutron NX500). This is my bootable drive containing Windows 10 Version 1809. I mounted the hard disk almost the full length of the 40 cm (right angled slot) riser I bought away from my dual Nvidia Titan RTXs. The data strap was folded twice (not excessive angles) and the slots in the riser cable tied gently to prevent it touching the two GPUs.While the disk was still detected by the BIOS; the system would not boot. Windows kept giving error messages instead of booting from the disk. The fact that Windows was giving these issues means the disk was readable. I then removed the riser and placed the SSD back in the motherboards x4 slot and it booted first time and continues to work fine.In short this may work on GPUs (graphics cards) and sound cards but may not be suitable for hard drives. I have read that GPUs will tolerate some data loss e.g. a few missed frames in a game or a sound card may crackle/distort but a hard disk needs seamless data transfer (I may be wrong but hard disks don't appear to feature error correction from their cables/interface but only in their data storage on the solid state/magnetic media) and may be this is why even with a high quality and well made cable; my use case just wouldn't work.I only deducted 1 star since I feel the product is of high quality and would have been perfect for me if I was re-locating a device other than a hard disk. Your mileage may vary. Thanks for reading.

I'm currently using a Thermaltake Riser with my Gen 4 AMD motherboard for my GPU. As I also wanted to connect my Thunderbolt 3 card, I picked up this riser too.Quality seems good. It's well made and feels like it will last a few years.I'm pleased with the purchase, but like many others, I initially had some many crazy monitor issues and Blue Screen of Death crashes as I hadn't setup up things correctly in the bios.I had already set my X16 PCIE slot to Gen 3 instead of auto to make my other riser work, however I was kind of fooled by the bios for the X4. Once I connected this riser, it said PCIE 3.0 @ PCIE 3.0, which suggested that the motherboard was detecting everything ok.That wasn't the case. After many crashes, I realised I had to change an additional setting in the bios which was for PCIE Slots. Once I changed that from Auto to Gen 3, I was good to go.Just be sure to change your PCIE Slots to Gen 3. If you do, you shouldn't have any problems with this riser.

After upgrading to new Ryzen CPU and RTX 3080 I found the original Lian-Li cable that came with their riser would only support PCI-E 3.0 - although there is some difference I would rather be getting the full performance after the significant investment.Took a chance on this fitting after looking at the pictures to figure out the compatibility with my existing riser and decided to give it a go.Needed a tiny bit snipped from the end of the PCB where the screw mount is, literally a couple of MM too long to fit the Lian Li riser. Cable is a bit more flexible than the original one but perfect length for my setup too.BIOS and Windows both report FULL PCI-E 4.0 support in GPU-Z/HWINFO on my setup:Ryzen 5800XAsus ROG Crosshair VIII HeroAsus RTX 3080 TUF OCOnly knocked a star off due to the cost, I think it's expensive for the comparison to the PCI-E 3.0 versions which are available from about £20.

This cable works well as intended with very little to no performance loss on PCIe 4.0 with X570 and 5700XT however one big complaint is that the bottom has badly scratched my brand new Fractal Design Define 7 power supply shroud due to insufficient padding in the bottom where the PCIe slot is soldered to the board. The case is now damaged on my otherwise pristine build.

Brought this for my new case (Cosmos 700p) after reading about the potential patchy support for PCI 4 with the current riser cables available on the market.It is easy to fit in a case where i can reposition the graphics card to any angle between 0 and 90 degree's and after playing Hitman 3 and Forza Horizon on my 3090 i can confirm it works as though it were slotted directly into the motherboard without having to change any BIOS settings.I have attached a a picture with it at a 75-80 degree angle. It's definately worth the purchase if your having issues or want to prevent issues.

This is brilliant, tried a few, this solved the problem I had. The only thing with these type of extension cable (learnt the hard way, as my screen kept crashing) you need to find a way to Earth the graphic card. Once I did that, worked perfectly without an problems (depending on the type of case you use.

One star for the Sunday delivery and another star for its neat look.This riser cable has a problem of compatibility.It will work on my Gigabyte b550i but not on my rog b460i. I tried another riser cable from another brand to make sure my mobo pcie slot is still functional and everything worked out just fine, but when switching to this cable the graphic card just wouldn’t be recognized.It’s a bit frustrating and basically the only possible explanation is there is an issue with the design, which leads to a poor compatibility.Definitely shouldn’t happen on a £40 product.

Bit expensive but does hold pcie x3 16 lanes where one I already had would occasionally drop to slower speeds. Don't know if that would affect performance of my 2080ti or not, so got this one which worked great
