Was wondering if anyone had any experience with those usb cable versions like this:
-
Nah I’ve been too scared to touch them mate… I’ve gotten by with 34cm Powered Risers…

scared? why?, it would suit me much better to use the USB3 version with 1M lenght for my new setup. instead of double set of extra long pci-e 1x.
Hmmm… maybe order me an test batch

What do you mean double set?
You’ve plugged two riser cables into each other like an extension cord?
I did that once and the PCIe slot caught fire after 10 seconds… I screwed a $300 mobo, I was so upset…

I dont use the prefab power cables. The power allways goes straight from the connector to the card with no “feedback wire”!
So i have never had any worries with this issue, and i have connected two extenders after one and another. one active and one passive.
If you connect two active cables i can see that this might be an problem, especially if you connect both the power plugs :P
