No Temperature Reading Using PCI-E Riser (EVGA 1070 FTW)

[RivAngE]

Seems like I'm the only one who has that problem!

I've bought those risers: https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B073FDW75Z/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Connected an EVGA 1070 to the 8x and also tried the 1x slots, there was no temperature reading in the EVGA Precision XOC or rather... it was stack at 35C no matter what.

It's the 1st time I'm using PCI-E Risers so I'm really troubled... is this normal? Am I doing something wrong?

To answer my own question, it seems the problem was with the OC software. I use EVGA XOC but I noticed that the temprature that was displayed in the software was not random, but the 1st reading it got after starting.
Closing the OC software and starting it again would update the temprature and then keep showing the same value.

Anyway, for now I just used a different PCI-E slot and it worked, so the problem might be more complicated than just a software issue.

Well, ok, can you download the latest build of MSI afterburner, I believe it is something like 4.4.2 .. and install it and see if it shows temps on your cards installed into that risers?  I'm interested if it would work out?

Yes I'll try it and update the thread. However using MSI Afterburner can't be the final solution, my rig a gaming-mining-adornment hybrid, it's an open case with glass mounted on the wall and full of RGB components. Controlling the EVGA's LEDs is important for me and I'm sure I won't be able to do that from MSI's software. I'll try if it helps though and let you know.
