[INSTOCK]1-16x Powered Risers @ Cryptocables - Official Feedback, CS, Q&A Thread

[Walking Glitch]

Placed an order for a riser. Order processed fast. Thanks. (Went to place the original order, and if bitpay had waited 5 more seconds, I would have had my riser for $9.99, but it screwed me out of $2.50 )

[Cryptocables]

Thanks for your order!

All orders shipped, still have cable stock for those looking!

Hi guys,

Due to the amount of traffic we're updating the memory allocation with our VPS. Sorry for any trouble, should be back up and running shortly.

I'm thinking of purchasing a few extenders from you. However first I'd like to put on a slightly technical question out there. I read on a different thread that some motherboards require shorting of the pins on these extenders when using the 1x to 16x kind, otherwise the mobo will not detect the card. From the gist of the thread it seems this is due to the design of the extenders themselves - something to do with a pin that should not be there due to it messing the hotswap capability of PCIe.

So my question is, has anyone had any issues with the 1x to 16x extenders on their motherboard. Have you had to try any funky tricks like shorting pins on the extenders themselves to get the card to be recognized (once again when using JUST the 1x to 16x).

This is a really broad question since all boards are different and everyone will have a different result. Most likely won't know until you get everything and see if your board is finicky with it or not.

Yeah but the thing is it's not the board that's the problem for the most part. From the way I understood things it has to do with the design of the PCIe extender. Well, actually it could be that some cheaper or lower quality boards do not support the swapping functionality or whatever the case may be and thus there is no problem. What's worrying is that a lot of the quality boards one would reasonably consider for a mining rig do have this problem with these 1x to 16x extenders.

But without some uber geek on the thread to shine the light I guess I'd have to buy and find out.

To add to this, this problem tends to be bundled with more than 1 video cards also not being recognized by the system once its plugged in with a riser, but will be recognized when a monitor is attached to them. When this is a guaranteed result, it is always the board that tends to be handicapped and wants a dummy plug from what I've found over the years. Not really related, but just sharing information.

[allinvain]

Good thing I have a boatload of those dummy plugs from the GPU mining days. Funny how I'm going back to GPUs.

Just want to say thanks for the riser cables; my order was shipped out same day as purchased and I'm very pleased with both the cables and your service. I'll be returning for future purchases. Thanks again!

is it recommendec to use 16x tp 16x or 1x to 16x

i have enough 16x slots.

also if j power the riser do u still power the video cards
1 more question dummy plugs where can u get them

Hii

You can use a 16x in a 16x slot or a 1x in a 16x slot, dual functionality!

[madpoet]

When do you expect to get the 1x-16x back in stock?

[Cryptocables]

They're on backorder. We were supposed to get a shipment in last week but had a train derailment, so we're waiting on an update. Thanks for your patience during this crucial time!

[Cryptocables]

All orders (including backorders) with the exception of Neon Signs have been processed, packed, and deployed. Scans should fully update by tomorrow afternoon.

Additionally, we still have extra cables in stock if you're looking for them.

Thank you for your patience during the holiday crazyness.

Cryptocables still has a few risers in stock for those looking for a powered solution.

[Walking Glitch]

Why are they so expensive now? I went to buy another one earlier, but I'm not going to fork over $25 for a riser... Not unless it's a really long one. I was disappointed, as last time it shipped out fast and without a problem.

EDIT: I have already bought a couple more. Time was/is of the essence here.

Hi WG, we adjust our prices to market prices for supply and demand. Risers are just a hot and rare commodity right now. When things cool off later they will go back down again.

[Cryptocables]

1x Risers are now OOS.
16x Risers still available.

You have any idea why my package got stuck since Jan. 03, 2013? https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction_input?qtc_tLabels1=LN009830288US
