ThermalTake PCIe riser cable?

[MoonlightSylv]

So I recently got a ThermalTake Core P3 case and I want to mount my GPU sideways, the case supports it but I need a pcie riser. Thermaltake sells one however it has mixed reviews, should I try buying a thermaltake riser cable or is there any other pcie riser cables you recommend?

[jools]

yes there are other pcie riser cables of varying length and brands available even on ebay

Any specific recommendations that are at least pcie 3.0 8x? Preferably 16x and black.

It's a hit or miss really. It's really just a extension cable, just like how an USB extention cable works. Sometimes they work fine, sometimes they are broken by default. In this case it uses more then 4 or 8 wires and well, much higher speed. Do keep in mind there is a maximum length. I believe it was about 30CM or so. I never tried it myself, but that's what I've read in the past. Anyways, there is always a maximum length.

What you want to look for are ones that are shielded those will be the most reliable next up would be the professional ones from 3M and such.

100% agree with getting quality with MNPCTECH. I'm not sure what Bill's source is but the only other cable I recommend is the ones from li heat

Not exactly sure where they get their supplies but might be from this manufacture called Li-heat, they had very well regarded risers and cables that were extra long even:
