PCIE Riser Cards/Cables

[Redempti0n]

So I bought a thermaltake P3 some time ago, and it came with a dead Riser cable. I had read around that it was rather common and that TT were sending out free replacements. True to their word I got in touch with thermal take Australia and after providing them with the Serial number, They sent me a replacement with overnight Delivery and that cable has worked fine. However just a few minutes ago, I restarted to install Hyper-V to mess around with it and it wouldnt post. After a few retries and eventually reseating the riser cable it works. I personally have had enough issues with thermal take and I am really not wanting to spend $85 AUD on one of their "Premium" Cables. $85 is expensive. So do any other brands have cheaper, more reliable cables? That are black, none of the 2002 beige looking ones. Please and thank you

It was the cable for the GPU riser that comes with the P3

 

I contacted thermaltake AUS and had a chat with their RMA Officer, They are releasing a V2 of the standard cables, but I said I didnt wanna wait 3 weeks for that, so he said they will be sending me out a 600mm Premium cable free of charge.Its far too long for what I need but if it works it works it works
