Can confirm, for anyone looking at similar issue. PCIE4 riser cable does not experience the same problem.

I see, guess that's the case for my mobo then. Thank you.

I was think I should just bite the bullet and spend that little more on a newer riser. I just remembered it being mentioned a few times even on LLT's videos that they had a similar problem and changing the pcie setting in the bios would fix it, at least as a quick fix for time being.

Hi all Looking to pick your brains because I have an issue after switching to a new card with pcie riser cable. I used a gtx1080 with this corsair riser on x570 motherboard with no issues but when switching to rtx 3080 it just doesn't boot and hangs on a vga fault on motherboard. However without the riser it boots fine. Now I understand that I should look for and change the pcie gen setting in the bios to pcie3 since I think the riser is older then pcie4 but everytime I do that it just hangs on boot again and the board resets CMOS due to boot looping. Think I should just ditch this riser and get a proper certified pcie4 one or maybe there is something I can do in bios? Thanks

Thanks for all your inputs guys! I guess If I kind make it do anything more interesting that's an idea to use. That now is an interesting use case, given that it could be useful for simracing that I do. You got a very fine setup right there my man, looks very neat. I'd though of doing something like that with a phone on a desk but not a massive tablet however you made it work.

I have an old OEM kind of freebie tablet running android 4 that I'd consider crap back when it was given to us by an ISP. For some reason I'm cautious about having it connected to the network with all potential security risks and back doors. I'm wondering if there a way I could install a new vanilla version of android on it and use it for home automation or media stuff. I'm open to everyone's ideas and suggestions.

Hmmm admitably I could have looked into these earlier, now that I might be having a cpu/mobo upgrade coming in near future I'll look up available x570 mobos with this type of sensor connectivity.

Thanks for the info bowrilla. Honestly I have been running a custom loop for 3 years and never considered to have fans on rads react to coolant temp instead of cpu. How could I go about having fans spin up to reported coolant temp instead of cpu temp from fan header?

I agree two D5 is definitely an overkill. Out of curiosity is it worth getting a flow meter sensor? One that I can connect and actually have a measurement from it, not a simple spinning indicator propeller thing.

Thanks for your replies. I'll look into my options and consider whats possible. I'm not 100% sold on hard line as yes space in my H440 might be limited. Changing the case is probably too much to think of right now. I also had a mad and expensive idea of using two pumps one for each flow path but fed out of the same res ;D overkill... I know but a way to eliminate flow reduction after the split.

Hey all watercooling gurus. I'm playing with the idea of doing some changes with my custom loop for the summer and was wondering about an idea. Has anyone seen or heard or had experience with spliting water flow with a Y piece or similar? I wonder if I could pull of spliting the out of the pump into two flows one going into GPU,CPU and maybe one rad, then back to the res/pump combo. The other to one or maybe two rads and then back to res/pump combo. In my head this would be to just achieve some clean looks with tubing and maybe having the CPU + GPU done with hard tubing whiles rest could be done with soft tubing hidden out of sight. I'm not so sure about the implications to performance this might have due to reduced flow rate by half etc... Thanks guys. KJ

Hey You're probably not going to get much response form this thread being a year long, to find out if you have caused damaged to the mobo it's hard to tell without seeing it. I think worst case is you could have caused a short across pins in pcie slot. In the case of that gpu it just didn't post and I had it returned without messing with it.

I'm not touch that thing with a ten foot poll any more. Got a return label and it is going straight in the box to where it came form. If i do anything else there is a chance the seller will claim I caused damage that wasn't on there before. My intention wasn't to fix this in the first place, just hoped it would work like described in the listing. But after seeing the trickery and lame ass excuse for evidence of the card working I am positive this is an attempt of a scam.

Just requested a refund. I like how in the video at 33th second a random cable appears out of thin air. Had to take a closer look at that to notice.

I got a reply form the seller and this is the evidence that he sent me that the card was working before sending. https://drive.google.com/file/d/18N0XoIvKB_tq4RsZ6Sho1reC7lTKKaGC/view?usp=sharing I'll leave that with you to comment what you think. I got some red flags in my head form what I've seen.
