Powered Risers
-
Hi All,
Have been looking around all day for a decent supplier of large quantities of powered risers.
which looked interesting as it would allow us to move the GPU’s further from the board slightly in more flexible way, which leads me to the questions:
Does anyone have experience with these USB risers, and if so are they any good?
Will it work for all 6 GPU slots, or just the single speed ones? -
Brill, thanks for the speedy response!
I figured they would need the short if I used them in the larger slots.
One other question, the USB lead - that listing says its a custom lead, so I take it replacing with slightly longer regular ones wont work - has anyone made up longer leads for these?
-
I haven’t needed to short the 16X slots on the mobos i have when using 1x in 16x track.
With one exception which was an Gigabyte z77 mobo, but that thing has been a bag of hurt the whole way no matter what i do… -
I guess its a case of “try it and see” for the sake of a few inches of cable.
Have just found another product which turns 1 PCI-E port into 4… very interesting… lol :D
-
We’ve had trouble with solid risers as well, sometimes they don’t work. I wish there was a more easy supply, so we could try adding a card to the PCI.

These looked promising…
http://www.thedebugstore.com/acatalog/SKU-076-02.htmluntil i saw the price, cheaper to build a 4 slot rig.
Ill definitely go down the flexible USB route though, id like to separate the cards a bit more to allow for pipework :)
