Flexible PCIe risers

Zarathustra[H] said:
At first I just typed in "flexible pcie riser" in Amazon, and I found a bunch of shady looking parts, one with lots of reviews saying it burned up their motherboard, and the rest with either no reviews, or one perfect 5 star review from someone who has never reviewed anything else.

Fakespot is essential for Amazon shopping.
 
Aside from the expensive 3M, is the quality of the Li-Heat riser cables nowadays good? Or do you guys have any other recommendations for a 1080 Ti?
 
BPlus riser R3y series for PCI-E 16x and R4y series for NGFF M.2 (M-key, PCI-E 4x):

For price i found this (around 50US)http://www.era-adapter.com/pcie-x16-cables-c-92.html

This R4y looks interesting:

Price around 40US
 
I'm using a DeepCool riser provided with the Tristellar case and I'm seeing a lot of Whea Logger Event 17 (hardware error corrected) even at PCI GEN 2.

Precisely:

Event 17, WHEA-Logger


[General]
A corrected hardware error has occurred.
Component: PCI Express Root Port Error
Source: Advanced Error Reporting (PCI Express)
Bus: Device:Function: 0x0:0x3:0x0
Vendor ID: Device ID: 0x8086:0x2F08
Class Code: 0x30400

Check out the Li-Heat cables - see attached image

They claim to be better than the 3m cables and only 57mm wide

Thoughts? Anyone buy these yet?

Li Heat will work too, many cases use these cables, but the attached datasheet is so wrong. A ribbon based cable with only sandwich shielding can't be better as twin axial shielded cable. Twin Axial has no crosstalk and a grounded shield that absorbs noises. They did a wrong power calculation AWG30 is able to handle 0,8A. (3M Example 0,8 * 10 wires = 8A * 12V = 96W).Also the bending charactersistik is wrong. You can bend a 3M cable 50x on different locations without signal problems.

Here is the ebay listing for the Li Heat and attached is the cross section graphic of the cable they use. Is that twinaxial cable like 3m or something better/worse?

They use two layers of ribbon cables (similar to old ide cables). Between the layers and around all layers the use shielding foile. For twin axial you have two single wires sourrounded be shielding + connecting shielding to ground layer. So no they do not use twin axial.
