How many ribbons strands per pin?  Cheap risers only have 2, the better ones have 3.

it should work but it could be the long ones are cheap and not carrying the signal well enough over the distance

So I have some risers for my R9 290 video cards. The long ones are finicky. Some work in some ports. But the short risers work all the time.

If I mod them to make them powered risers, should I be good to go?

Thanks
