Title: WTB : PCIE USB Risers - complete
Post by: thedreamer on March 20, 2016, 12:45:51 AM
Looking to get about 10 or so. Complete kit with USB riser card, USB cable, and PCI extender base (that the GPU plugs into), possibly power cable extender.

PM me with what you have. I know current amazon and ebay prices but thought I'd offer to buy from a Bitcointalk member first with BTC.

I am in the USA and only want to buy from a seller in the USA, so no international shipping / problems.

TY

yeah, ebay and amazon sellers jacked up the price per riser from $8 to $14.
what's wrong with delivery from aliexpress-same stuff, half the price?

I've been doing eth for a while now, so it's nothing new. Just need a few extra ones.
I don't like ali express as it's another chinese junk peddling company.

where to you think 70% of the manufactured stuff you buy is made in?
besides, US sellers sell the exact same stuff (which they simply buy in bulk), but with a 100% addon in price.

That exactly where the 3 resellers i know get them in bulk, at 2.x to 3$ per. Bitcoinware is the dirtiest though, i bought with them because they said they were in stock, then they said oops, they're not. Been waiting for 3 weeks for that order. I could have ordered from China myself without the markup.

But they refuse/ignore request to resolve the issue.

Don't know why everybody is scared of the cheap ribbon risers.

Never had any issue with them.

I always check with a meter for shorted pins before plugging in a GPU and they been running for years.

You can also just mod some PCIe extender wires and instead of plugging them into the molex plug them into the CPU plug from the power supply. Just re-pin the +12V and Ground pins.

They're a management mess. The USB are much cleaner for cable management. They are also superior because the PCI-e power connector from the mobo connect to a deadend.

Got everything I needed thanks to the great people of the forum.

To VirosaGITS, please stop cyber-stalking me and posting your useless and unhelpful crap on any and all threads I post into.
You are ignored and I don't even see your posts but it feels funny having a fan-boy caring so much about me.
