All,
I wanted an opinion on the slim pci-e riser. They are for sale on eBay and I have some as part of a open air mining case. Should I swap them out with a version 6 pci-e riser. From the pcb layout it looks like a gen 1 riser that is a fire hazard. I contacted the seller and they claim no problems and have sold thousands of these without any issue. The seller also say that it's a redesign and that they are a gen 2 version of the slim pci-e risers. It does not use a molex connector for power but a 4 pin small type connector on the backside of the PCB.
What do people think? I don't want my rig to go up in flames.
I think with out a photo I have no idea of what it is.
