Sent like 50 cents more than order price for 4 risers, it gave me some weird notice that I need to contact vendor.  Keep the extra money, just make sure the order worked heh:

I won't be now that I've found you as a source of some good cables. Smiley

I'm in the process of getting the parts to build my first mining rig.  I've seen people use a full 16x-16x for one of their video cards if there is a PCI-E 16 slot.  Based on what I've seen of the cables you are selling and what I've read up on, the only reason to use such a cable is to power the video card from the mobo.  This correct?  Never used risers before, so not that familiar with them.  The cables you are selling looks so much nicer than the ribbon cables I've seen around and I will be ordering a few.

Just don't use any ribbon cables. You don't need to power anything from the motherboard, and having all the cards further from the motherboard allows them to have better cooling and easier changing of parts if you need to.

I don't use monitors, or dummy plugs, or anything but maxed out pci-e slots with my risers Smiley

I think he means the card that most people plus their monitors into.  It seems like he mistakenly thinks that you have to have a card plugged into the 1st x16 slot.

What do you mean the first card?

So looking at the pictures, you don't need a full 16x extender for the first card like I've seen others use?

I've never seen a usb 3.0 cable listed the way you describe. Care to link to it? I've tried a big variety of cables from different companies, never had a problem.

What i mean was that, the 5wire parallel usb3.0 labeled cable looks the same as the 9wire parallel, because the end male connectors are the same (usb3 type), so if you check visually, it really looks the same. The difference was the wire connectivity inside.

So to verify, it needs to be checked by multimeter's continuity

this will be useful if somebody want to change the cable

Confirmed by checking visually or using multitester continuity?
The 5wire parallel looks the same as the 9wire parallel, needed to check the continuity to verify.



Sorry, what are you trying to achieve? They use USB 3.0 cables. There are 9 pins.

They use full USB 3.0 cables, so what you are calling 9 wire is required.

I found 2 types of USB3.0 A to A cables.

One is 5 wire in parallel , 4 USB2.0 + the drain(USB3.0, serves as gnd)
Second is 9 wire in parallel according to the USB3.0 pinout specifications here: http://www.interfacebus.com/usb-cable-diagram-30.html.

Can you confirm if it uses 5wire or 9wire parallel?

5 wire parallel is easy to get if needed.

Hi,

Can i used any standard USB3 A to A cable on this risers?

Possibly, but sometimes cables can cause errors. I've been running a bunch of computers with 5 or 6  6' cables now, no problems.
