Topic: [FS] custom length PCI-E extension cables (with or without molex power) - page 2. (Read 10206 times)

Yeah, I still have these in stock. Just shipped out 5 earlier this morning.

Bump - still alive?

Still have some? Interested in powered 1x -> 16x or 16x -> 16x, but the prices are kind of scary.

rock on, pm sent. =)

i still have these  

there's pros and cons for each one. the normal x16 cable doesn't require you to short any pins on the motherboard slot, however the cable itself is a little harder to manage because it's wider than the x1 cable.

the x1 to x16 cable can fit in any pci-e slot, but you'll have to short the two presence pins on half the motherboards. here's one of my pics that i had to do that. it does offer better cable management and less cable clutters because it's not as bulky as the x16 cable, but it's just a hassle to short the motherboard pins together

I am gonna need either one of these: pci-e x16 cable standard 19cm: $12 shipped each, With a molex power connector

Or one of these:pci-e x1 to x16 cable (v2) standard 19cm: $11 shipped each, With a molex power connector.


Still trying to figure out which one will best suit my needs.

just lowered price to reflect btc market right now

there's no real set limit on what it should be. however, just note that pci-e signals are not designed to travel across long distances in risers/extenders because of noise or other interferences from nearby components. but for mining, in certain setups you just have to use extenders. that's why using the shortest cable possible might improve stability or let you keep your max stable overclocks.

what's the limit on cable length per the pcie standard?

alright i just added more cables and pictures.

i'm currently out of the x1 and x1-to-x16 extension cables. i'll probably get more in the future. anyone that already ordered cables should have tracking numbers in PMs.

yes i can take BTC

you accept BTC as well?

i have various pci-e extension cables i can sell, all brand new, but i will personally test them all first before shipping if requested. a normal extension cable is 19cm found at many places, but i also have 12cm cables for the purpose of reducing cable clutter or easier to manage. the 26cm should be long enough to 6-8 card racks, or if you just want to extend longer than what standard cables provide. i believe i'm the only one that sell them in custom 26cm and 12cm long:

pci-e x1 cable standard 19cm: $7 each

pci-e x1 cable 12cm: $9 each

pci-e x1 cable 26cm: $9 each


pci-e x1 to x16 cable (v1 or v2) standard 19cm: $10 each

pci-e x1 to x16 cable (v1 or v2) 12cm: $12 each

pci-e x1 to x16 cable (v1 or v2) 26cm: $12 each


pci-e x16 cable standard 19cm: $10 each


i will add a custom molex power connector to each of them for an additional $6, just tell me how long you want the power cable to be. if you don't already know the purpose of doing this, it's so that the power drawn through the motherobard and pci-e slots now gets drawn directly from the PSU. doing this is better for your motherboard and certain PSU wires, and adds stability to your GPUs.

SHIPPING: $2 for the first one, 50cents for each additional item within the US. International is $5. i do my best to ship same day of payment, or the day after, depending on what time i receive the payment. It takes 2-3 days to receive the package within the US, about a week in Canada, and 1-2 weeks for the rest of the countries.

additional info on the cables: the pci-e x1 to x16 adapter cables comes in version1 (v1) or version2 (v2). they're different in only the connection heads. v1 is just a standard x1 cable cut so that you can insert it to a x16 pins of the video card. v2 is not cut, but comes standard with a x16 slot to connect to the x16 pins of the video card. they both work exactly the same, it's just if you prefer the extra long connection slot or not. the custom molex power connector wire is soldered onto the 5 spliced wires of the extension cable. this soldering instead of just crimpling provides a little extra durability as well as reduces any voltage drops across the connections. i used extra thick 16guage black wires for this.

now my references: i have 120 feedback on heatware, and ebay has 52. here's also a handful of people i've had transactions with on this forum:
