[SOLD OUT - IN THE USA] USB Based Powered PCIe Risers $18-$20

[TheWoodser]

Placed an order for two of these last night.  I don't have the rest of the parts for my rig yet so I won't be able to attest to whether these work for a week or so but I'll update to confirm once they arrive.

Do you have a TX ID?  Just trying to make sure I get to all the orders before I run out!!

Anyone here get a tracking number? I was told I would have one by Sunday. Still nothing.

I paid Friday night, got the tracking number Saturday morning and the package arrived this afternoon (short distance from VA to MD).  The transaction was smooth and I'd be surprised if he doesn't get back to you soon.  I only ordered two so mine was a relatively easy order to process I suppose, but nonetheless he shipped my order.  Hope you get word on your package soon.

I can't attest to whether these work until I [hopefully] get my cards this week, but he definitely shipped me what appears to be a working product.

One thing that is bothering me about this, now that I've actually opened it, is the floppy power connector on the board.  On one of my units the pins aren't even lined up perfectly with one another, but that much I can deal with.  The biggest issue is that the notch on the top of the floppy plug prevents it from sliding smoothly onto the pins, and this is because the plastic base gets in the way.  The plug cannot go in straight and has to come in at an angle, and when applying pressure to get it completely on you feel like you are going to break something.  There is a cut in the plastic base that the notch will eventually snap into once the plug is on far enough, but the process of getting it there is scary.  Not that I think I will ever need to remove the floppy power plug, but it seems like once it snaps on it is not ever coming off.

I'm going to refrain from sliding it completely on until my cards come in and I have no choice but to make it work, but I'm a little troubled by this.  I haven't dealt with a floppy connector in many years, but I don't remember ever having to forcibly jam one onto the pins.  You can take a look at what I'm referring to in the three photos here:

Edit: Eh, whatever, I'm not attaching the power plug yet for the sake of keeping the cable comfortably in the bag until my cards get here, but after messing with it again I'm sure the plugs will go on fine.

I sent a pm with my txid and mailing info on Sunday and within the hour I was sent a tracking number.  Tracking shows delivery is on schedule at this time.

A quick check of your tracking number says it will be there tomorrow.  I am not posting your tracking number for your privacy.

I got mine right when expected. Thanks!

Received my package today, on time and all looks good.  I am awaiting delivery of a cpu for a new miner build and I will be using these on it, so I will post after I have it running.

Trust added for the trade.

I'll take 5.  Waiting for wallet to sync, then I will send PM with all info.

Took a look at your personal site, seen some pics from Yuma.  I was there 83-85 with 2nd LAAM Bn, 3rd MAW (HAWK Missle).  Did two tours overall with a 6-month extension added on for my second school during my first enlistment.

would these usb risers have any performance drop in video games?
i originally bought some 16x 16x risers for a computer build where i want to place the graphics card next to the motherboard on display.
the 16x - 16x just don't look pretty. so i'm wondering how this would perform.

To answer your question jolly yes these would have a performance drop if you are using the cards for gaming. These are x16 to x1 from what it looks like. You would need x16 to x16 so that all of the PCI'e lines are still connected. This takes the speed down to 1x instead of 16x. From a mining standpoint though this works great.
