  1. Mike got my email and replied that my new cable it on it's way! Since I'm going dual GTX 1080's I went ahead and ordered one from Newegg and it came in today. It was indeed the 200mm one (and it wasn't folded like a taco) and after 20+ boot ups and 10 3D Mark tests, I haven't had a single glitch. It will be a little tight, but it will work. I tried putting the new cable in both my #1 and #2 PCIe slot and it will reach both the middle and inner most slots on the expansion cage, even if you put the card in the middle of the cage and put the other end in the #1 PCIe slot. But for safety sake, I recommend putting your #1 PCIe slot cable in the inner most cage slot and the #2 PCIe slot cable in the middle. Thanks again to Mike and the rest of the crew at Thermaltake for the awesome customer support. While not a totally painless experience, it got resolved real quick, and to me, that is the true measure of good customer service. Now to just wait on GTX 1080 availability and I can move my old GTX 980 over to my wife's rig and finish up my new Core P5 build.
  2. Is this new 200mm cable design what you are talking about that will work with dual GPU's, or is it a different cable? I am currently running a single GPU and have the issue (I sent you an email) and just because my system is down, I ordered one from Newegg that says it is "New Cable Design 200mm Length" (Thermaltake AC-039-CN10TN-C1) just because I can't wait, but eventually I will go with dual GPU's.

  4. I thought I was going crazy. I've been building a Core P5 system for a long time (been finishing up my Core X9 build) and while I've had my system up and running and the OS installed for awhile using the onboard video, when I used the riser cable and moved my GTX 980 SC over, it would sometimes not boot, sometimes not show video, other times work perfectly. This is my first time using a PCIe riser cable. I emailed Mike and hopefully I can get a replacement cable ASAP. I so want get this system stable and then order a second one so I can go dual EVGA GTX 1080 FTW's when they come out.
