EZDIY-FAB PCI Express 16x Flexible Cable Card Extension Port Adapter High Speed Riser Card-10cm

EDIT: Its been almost 1 year since I purchased the cable reviewed here and it still works as good as new. But I changed up my case and needed a shorter one so I got the 200mm one with the 90 degree angled interface at the GPU end. It also works great and fits my Lian Li PC-011 case perfectly. Let me reiterate that these are really nice quality cables that also look great and best of all, are affordable. Read further for a full review -Ok guys, we finally have a winner. If you don't want to read this entire review/install, know that this cable actually works so get one before they sell out. I have owned both cheap Thermaltake and even expensive Lian Li PCI-E Riser cables. None of them could withstand heavy load testing, benchmarking or AAA gaming like Battlefield 1 to list a single example. I have run several hours of each of the following tests with this riser.- I've tested my ZOTAC GTX 1080 ArcticStorm GPU (Heavily Overclocked) with these pieces of software at 4K.>Firestrike>Valley>Furmark>Heavy Laod>Battlefield 1 and various other AAA titlesNOT ONE SINGLE CRASH OR ERROR! :)Things to be aware of and comprehensive install-->Be gentle when removing it from the package and even more careful when bending it and installing it.>Make sure both the interface on your GPU and Motherboard are sprayed out and clear of dust.>If installing it in a Core P3 or P5 first attach the lower riser PCB to the included rail with your P5 or P3. Do this BEFORE you afix the rail to the case. This will prevent unnecessary bending of the cable later in the install.>Now attach the rail and cable to your cases platform.>Then gently make a wide "S" shaped bend of the cable and attach the upper PCB to your motherboard. Try not to pinch or hold the cable to tightly while doing this. It can break down the shielding and cause damage to the cable. Also do not bend the cable past 90 degrees.>Double check your work and make sure to lock your PCI-E Motherboard slot.>Also make sure that no part of the actual cable is touching any electronics on your motherboard. This can cause interface.>Now attach your Graphics Card and Monitor.After owning several PCI-E Riser cards this is by far the most successful procedure to installing one that I have found. Unfortunately most cables at this price range have very poor shielding and low quality welds where the cable meets the PCB. These steps should help you even if you do end up getting one that has poorer quality control then the one I received. Note that this is the newer version of this cable. I actually own the original version of this cable from EZDIY and it was slightly different in construction and felt lower quality so I can assure everyone buying this that it is in fact a new version of the cable. This version of the cable has reinforcements where the cable meets the PCB on both ends and gives it much better rigidity in those spots. The added reinforcements are very important so as not to bend the cable too far in those critical areas. From what I can tell I do believe that this is the deciding factor in making this cable run much more stable than the original version. You cannot find a cable that will run more stable at this price range.A big thanks to EZDIY for creating an awesome PCI-E cable thats actually affordable!!Bottom line.. Buy one of these, follow my instructions and finally be able to enjoy your vertically mounted GPU!

Used this as a riser to move my FatBoy RX590 graphics card off of the motherboard to mount vertically inside my Rosewill Rise Glow CPU case. No problems with the cable...gaming performance is no different than when the GPU was installed directly into the motherboard. Full FPS in benchmarks, full 16x PCIe compatibility. The cable was plenty long...just put some bends into the cable so that it wouldn't get in the way of anything. Do not "kink" the cable as it may cause it to short out...just allow it to bend on its own as you position your GPU where you want it inside your case. Anytime you fold or kink an electrical cable at a sharp angle, you roll the dice and may ruin it.Nicely-made cable riser, should hold up without problems. Easily plugs into motherboard and GPU, fits like a glove. 5 stars.

TLDR; Bought one, still works with artifacts, got replacement because artifacts, replacement failed within 2 days. Got second replacement out of nowhere, works better, has not failed yet. Considering the initiative of the company, who sent me a second replacement out of nowhere (and very fast at that), it's a trustworthy brand if nothing else. Would recommend.UPDATE 3: It's been a doozie. The second replacement functions slightly better than the original, however there are still artifacts (I did thorough and ridiculous overkill testing that I'm not going into to ensure it was the riser). On the plus side it actually works, and there are significantly fewer artifacts than the original so, after this epic journey of installs, uninstalls, gpu replacements, reseating, re-reseating, and so much more... it seems to be hit or miss just based on the nature of the beast.UPDATE 2: Apparently, they sent me another replacement. I was not even informed, they just took the liberty. To me, that alone is worth something. I will update after i get a chance to try the new replacement.UPDATE 1: New riser arrived, in good condition, clearly new etc. Within 48 hours my computer began lagging horribly (mouse stutter and all) so I immediately blamed a virus, did some scans that took painfully long (with 0 results) and proceeded to rebooting. This is where it all went wrong, as the riser had at this point failed completely without my knowledge. I realized this may be the issue after a few attempts, as I was getting no video out to either my desktop monitor or my Oculus Rift. I re-seated the riser into a lower pcie on the motherboard, and got video for all of 2 seconds. Re seating in that slot did not help, nor the other slot. At this point I was concerned the riser had shorted my motherboards pcie slots. Thankfully, this was not the case. I returned to using the old riser, and booted into windows with no problems. The replacement also appears to have some solder on the edge of the pcb, clearly crossing multiple connections. I cannot confirm this is the cause however. I appreciate the effort made by the company, however I cannot recommend this specific product, but will leave them with two stars of the original edit, considering they at least tried. You may have more luck than I, as it does seem to be a decent quality product that I just can't seem to have luck with. I did also notice the replacement seemed to have more room between the release switch and the gpu, not much but enough to get to it (unlike original which sits fairly firmly against my rx 580)ORIGINAL EDIT: So the company actually cares, which is nice, and are sending me a replacement to see if this solves any issues. I will update the original review as follows when received.ORIGINAL POST: The pins and the receiver are too long, which means unless your mobo and gpu have a ton of extra height they wont seat fully. It also causes artifacts that I don't have when seated directly in mobo.
