Review on πŸ’» Thermaltake TT Gaming PCI-E x16 3.0 Extender Riser Cable 200mm - Enhanced Performance and Sleek Black Design (AC-053-CN1OTN-C1) by Curtis Nice

Only buy Premium, DO NOT buy 200mm.

300mm+ Premium Vertical Cable Review: This cable is fantastic. Replacing the cables solved every issue I had with my PC, including issues that seemed unrelated to my GPU. First, I couldn't overclock the RAM. Anything above 2533MHz failed. Games crashed or froze intermittently, and there was also a sharp drop in frame rate. After purchasing this cable, I'm overclocking RAM, CPU, and GPU simultaneously when a Reddit user suggested it (stating that I might have overclocking issues due to a voltage leak in my 200mm riser). This is the performance you experience when connected directly to the motherboard. The 200mm view (included with the ThermalTake Core P3 and P5 cases) sucks and will give you a headache. DO NOT BUY. Terribly shielded and too short to be usable. If you bought a Thermaltake case with one of these 200mm adapters, I recommend replacing it with a properly shielded, premium 300mm or longer cable.

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
