I can connect two X1 risers, no problem.  If I connect three to extend the length further, there are artefacts on screen.

As per the manufacturer, 30cm is the longest it can go without creating problems.

the problem is... will it function as expected?
PCI-E specs was NEVER intended to have extended outside the motherboard.

I would definitely be interested, for long length x16 risers and x1 to x16 adapters.

I've been reading about this for awhile. Some users are using two risers to lengthen how far the GPU is from the motherboard... Seems like its rather costly (twice the price of a regular riser + a female-female adapter).

Would there be any interest in some extended-length risers? Every store is typically 19cm, but I may be able to get a manufacturer to fabricate 30cm long risers.

The cost would be a little higher than the standard 19cm, but well below what it'd cost to essentially double up.

If there's enough interest, I may stock a few at my store, www.buyahash.com

Thanks!
