"ALERT." Wow dude, a whole new thread and everything.

FWIW, you must be doing it wrong because such an arrangement worked just fine for me in several instances.

Perhaps you should be doing a lot less posting and a lot more reading.

Thats a riot Mr.

use 1x width risers. they're cheaper and less can break with them. you will need to file the edge off the "short" side so it can accept 16x width cards (e.g. graphics cards). the increased length also takes longer for the electrical signal to get to and from the device/mnotherboard. you may need to increase pci-e latency in the bios (people call it pci latency, but I thought pci wasnt the same as pci-e)

multiple 16x risers not working when linked together. tried 2 different ones even.

testing with 5970's on an ASUS board with 4x16x slots

looking for a longer single 16x riser now

I asked a PC forum if there would be a problem and they thought linking should work

now i'm hearing change latency in PCIe bus
