Very nice, put me down for 256 assuming the price is reasonable!

Looks awesome! I'd definitely like to help test. I have a TB250 and Z97 board I could test it on.

great work , moving the M2 -> USB is so choice.

Ok so looks good with the units I sent out, ill probably make a small batch of a couple hundred of these. Trying to figure out the best distribution method...I might just have a few resellers resell this. If your looking for bulk purchase or want to resell let me know, as ill place a PCB order in the next week.

What is that? It looks completely different than the original pic, and I can't figure out how it works by looking at the pics.

Sorry, wrong photograph is on website, I was going to grab the photo from the forum thread, which shows a green board, and the actual release board is black. I wanted to get these listed on my website quickly as several people have been looking for them, and asking if I had them in stock yet. If you are reading this thread, I am selling the correct M.2 board you are looking for. I will have correct photographs shortly.

All items must go, due to personal reasons and not enough profit I will no longer be selling online soon. Taking all offers into consideration.

You can PM me here if you're interested or email me at holyscott@sent.com

Also taking escrow payments or Paypal (from verified accounts)

Ah that makes sense. How much power can be transferred through these adapters and the m.2 slot though? the other adapters i've seen have an extra plus for auxiliary power usually via 4 pin to SATA connector. Is it safe to use your adapter with a 1080 Ti? I read that 1080 Ti cards can pull 75 watts and over 4 amps through the PCI-E connector without an alternate power source.

My understanding is the pcie riser supplies the power the cards take through the pcie slot and no power traverses the USB cable. So no power should be pulled through the M.2 to GPU riser adapter.

Regarding the other m.2 to PCI-E 4x adapters, if your riser is powered then you usually don't need to plug power into the m.2 to pcie adapter. The power connection on a m.2 to PCI-E adapter is to power cards that would be plugged directly into the pcie slot on the adapter. In which case, you couldn't plug anything over pcie 4x anyway.

I just bought 2 of them for a couple 1080ti. I'll let you know if they catch fire.  Wink

Thats correct...these are designed for the GPU risers, and those are obviously self powered and don't pull power from the actual slot. Only thing that goes over the USB cable is PCIe data lines.

Hey jstef.  Just got 13 of these from Holy the other day and, first off, they look great.  With that said, having mixed success thus far... working on getting them installed and only 1 of 3 are allowing Windows to recognize the attached GPU.  FYI, I have confirmed the riser itself is working by unplugging from your m2 and plugging directly into motherboard (Windows recognizes then).

Motherboard = ASUS Prime Z270-A

All other hardward & bios settings are the same.  Any ideas what I can try?  Thx!!!

This is from the ASUS site (https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-Z270-A/specifications/):

Quote
1 x M.2 Socket 3, , with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (SATA mode & X4 PCIE mode)*1
1 x M.2 Socket 3, , with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices support (PCIE mode only)*2

I bought 2 of of some cheaper looking ones off Amazon a while back but ended up not using them because I heard some people friend their mobos. I think they only support either SATA or PCIE mode. Some motherboards are configured for SATA only m.2 while others can do NVME and PCIE modes. Just thinking out loud.

Yea you have to make sure M.2 slots are configured for PCIe...some motherboards have the option to switch between SATA/PCIe, and some M.2 slots don't have PCIe support at all.

Are these a better option than a m.2 to PCIE adapter? I've read mixed reviews regarding safety (melting boards etc.) and reliability.

I have an asus prime 270a. I just want something that is reliable and safe and i've struggled to establish find a consensus regarding which option is better. The thread may be biased, but if the m.2 to PCIE is a better option, can someone recommend me a link to a quality one?
