Problem with PCIE Riser cable (gaming)

[tomnewdelhi]

I have just finished a watercooled build on a Thermaltake Core P5 case,

The cards not on water yet nor is it overclocked, I used the Riser cable that came with the case.

Windows 10 got really bad stuttering in windows generally and crashes in 3D games etc.

After a number of reinstalls of windows and various trials and error i got it down to the GPU causing the issue, I knew the GPU worked fine before the upgrade so i removed the Riser cable and had the GPU directly in the mother board, perfect! the system worked peachy.

Question is, im lead to believe that the PCIE riser can cause timing issues leading to crashes and laggy performance.

Its been suggest that PCIE 3.0 causes the issue and that i should change to 1.0 or 2.0 in the bios.

Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it?

Did you ever find a solution that worked for you?
i have the Core P3 Snow edition

I'm dealing with the exact same problem as we speak and came to the same conclusion. I have and AMD RX480 installed in a Thermaltake Core P5 with the included riser cable. I installed Windows 7 then upgraded to Windows 10. The display and Windows 10 were extremely buggy, kept getting errors about the driver not responding. The screen would flash black then come back, or would just crash completely and shut down. Often it would refuse to boot past the lock screen. That did not happen with Windows 7.

I'm glad c1684901 responded with information. Did you ever try that cable or find any other solution that worked for you?


@c1684901 Will the extended length on that cable degrade performance in any way? I had looked into alternate PCIe riser cables but read that they generally don't make them longer because of performance drops.

Also to anyone else who sees this, if you have any information/experience with this riser? http://amzn.to/2at9m0Q It has good reviews on Amazon but only from 3 people so I'm trying to get more feedback on it before trying it.

I'm wondering if this ever got solved as i have the same case and same riser cable. screen goes black underload when connected with a 6 pin. old gpu which doesn't have a 6 pin connection no issue. same with intergrated graphics no issue. i've replaced mobo, gpu and psu thinking....defective part. But problem still persist, it is only when i connect my evga 1070 gtx or even an old radeon HD 6870. both have pin connectors. would like to know if the riser is the problem for the reason eing the way i've down my piping wasn't very smart....lol i'd have to drain the coolant take apart the piping and re do the run, in order to mount the graphics card directly to the mobo...a lot of work just to find out it might not be the riser and the problem resides elsewhere

I use a variety of cable
Containing 3M Cable
3M cable using the most advanced in the use of silver wire coated with aluminum foil pressing
500mm to 250mm and can be purchased
Price is not cheap about 85$

There are single cable

This cable does not meet specifications pin PCIE
PCI-SIG not set PCIE cable specification
But the arrangement of pin PCIE
PCIE pins must have two layers
But this is only one layer of cable
He completely changed the pin arrangement of the PCIE
Perhaps this is one reason why

I'm just used to provide experience
