Latest PCI-E Express Cable 1X to 16X Graphics Extension Ethereum ETH Mining Powered Riser Adapter Card, 60cm USB 3.0 Cable, 4 Solid Capacitors (VER 008S, 6-Pack)

I fell like I should leave a review for these risers as I knew nothing about risers before researching them. I bought 6 of them for a mining rig, I'm new to mining and don't know much, but from researching I found that pretty much all the risers on the market are pretty bad and that this was the most common part to fail in your rig. After seeing that the risers that have the 6pin to sata adapter cables sometimes melt or catch fire I knew I didn't want a riser with an adapter cable, but instead one that had a sata port on the riser card itself. I found out there are different version of risers. Some have less capacitors that can lead to an unstable riser card, and some do not come with voltage regulators. So in a nutshell I was looking for a card with at least 4 capacitors, a voltage regulator(not sure if this riser has one, not sure how to tell), and the sata port built into the riser card. Of course I also looked for quality. This card is version 008s, they look like they are made well, It has a foam backing which i like. Everything fits snug in the slots, all 6 risers work great, not getting too hot and I've been running the rig for a few days now. These are the first set of risers I've tried and am thrilled that I didn't end up picking bad ones. I would suggest you give them a try.

I ordered these for my new 8 GPU Mine since all other brands I’ve purchased have caused countless hours of troubleshooting and determining which riser, cable, adapter was bad. All of these cards work great! Many power options (molex, sata, 6 pin pcie, I use molex) 1st brand that ALL of them worked. I purchased Explomos PCIe risers as well as their m.2 adapters. No duds, no parts DOA. Victony, MintCell and other brands (I’ve tried them all) at least 30% of the cards I purchased were DOA. I also like that the 1x adapter has its USB port parallel to the motherboard so your cables lay flat instead of sticking up and possibly getting in the way of your GPU’s or 16x riser (see photo). Cables are USB 3.1 labeled, better shielding, yet thinner and more flexible cable then the other brands. Running 24/7 for the past 3 weeks with no issues. Get these and save yourself the headache that other brands will create.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Notice that this riser's PCIe x 1 slot plug has the USB port on the side rather then the top as is typical. This is fine on some motherboards, on others it can be an issue. My 12 card rig is using a AsRock H110 Pro BTC+ where it's fine however on my 6 card rig I have a Biostar H110m BTC and I can only use this plug on 4 / 6 ports, had to buy other risers for the other two because the ports are lateral of one another and you can't get both USB cables plugged in on each row. Just be aware. PROS: * 3 options for powering the riser: SATA, MOLEX, or PCIe 6-Pin * Has a red LED which clearly shows whether the riser is receiving power or not, very handy when a card goes down in a large rig * Foam insulated bottom means you can mount this to anything, even bare metal like a bakers rack or shelf * Overall good construction quality and sturdy design, out of a total of 18 ordered I only had issues with one riser and EXPLOMOS replaced it no questions asked when I mentioned the issue. Great support! CONS (mostly nit-picks) * Side mounted USB port on PCIe x 1 riser means incompatibility with some motherboards like the Biostar H110m BTC * back of PCIe x 1 plugs isn't insulated which is fine for all motherboards except AsRock H110 Pro BTC+, if you're using that MoBo you'll need to put a strip of electrical tape on the back of the plugs to prevent shorting out. * USB cable provided is very short, maybe 24 inches or so. Perfect for a 6 cards rig frame (I highly recommend the AAAWave.com frames) but too short if you're doing a really big 12 or 13 card rig or something large and custom, an extra foot would go a looooong way. Actually it would go 12 more inches :) Overall excellent riser, I plan to use this on every build I do that doesn't have a BioStar H110m BTC board.

These risers worked well for me. At this time, all 6 are working as advertised. The only challenge to get them working was to ensure each one was getting enough power. If one doesn’t work, it’s not obvious why. In my case, I was pulling too much power from a single rail in my power supply. To solve the issue, I purchased some power adapters so that I can pull power from more rails. It’s also crucial to setup each card one at a time. I found if one card doesn’t work properly, then all supsequent cards will also fail so you really need to identify any issues one card at a time. It’s too easy to assume a riser may be bad when it could just be a seating or power issue. Finally, I used both the molex and the other power adapter supported in the riser. Both seem to work interchangeably just fine.

I have personally used 50-80 of these 008 risers in builds and referred several people to use them in their rigs as well. Great quality. No DOA so far. I can't wait to get my hands on a set of 009s and compare them. The LED power indicator has already saved me some frustration once where I couldn't get a card to show up due to a slightly crooked SATA connector. Light was out because the connector wasn't on the whole way. Pushed the connector on straight, light came back on.

Well made and appear to have good quality parts, it earns it's high Amazon star review but be aware these are not compatible with a B250 motherboard as the 19 PCI slots are grouped tightly you cannot use the 90 degree USB to PCI adapters that come with this kit as they end up blocking other PCI slots you would have to sacrifice using several slots to use these. There is another seller selling these under a different brand that are identical that come with a hundred and eighty degree version of the USB to PCI adapter. I wish EXPLOMOS would be offering this here and update the description to let people know.

These are my favorite risers. Sometimes even with careful planning things don't come together the way you expect when you finally put a rig together. These risers give you the flexibility to overcome these variables because of the multiple power options. Believe me when I tell you that nothing is worse than having everything and not being able to complete a build because you need to order partX suddenly. I have ordered 3 sets of these so far and I haven't had a single issue thus far. I have never had a dead or broken riser out of the box nor have I had stability issues once they are up and running. Just make sure you have done your research as far as how much power you can put on a single rail/cable before you hook things up. Rule of thumb is never more than 2 risers per cable. I bought a 6 pack of risers and one was missing. I notified SunTechnology of the mistake as soon as I realized it. They shipped out the missing riser that day with no extra charge. Fantastic customer support and response time. I wish we had more third party sellers like this on amazon.

CHANGE REVIEW FROM 5 to 1....Well, I thought these were good but 4 of the 6 are no longer working period. So it lasted about 2 months. Now to order more....of another style/model/vendor. Work well. The only thing i wish I would have paid attention too is the right angle of the pci usb....I wish it was straigt up and not to the side. This has prevented me from using all available slots and had to buy others. BUT THIS IS STILL GREAT.

All pci are working they have led also so we can know which card is working

Product quality is good no worries, but it doesnot come with any power supply cable. That is an additional purchase. Risers requies its own power from the PSU. If you have any extra Molex, SATA or 6pin you are good to go.
