Moviemakergr 1 Report post Posted January 2, 2016 Is true,i have exactly the same problem. The extender not working to x16 lines (1st pci) (i Try with more than one GPU) We would like the company to replace our cable (RMA) with a better quality and functionality. Wait your response. Happy new Year.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moviemakergr 1 Report post Posted January 8, 2016 I do a great impression both known big company to have no interest in our problem is not small.I have sent and email too on customer service for RMA and I did not get any answer yet. UpDate > I just received a email from the technical department to send cable for control and replacement, and thank you for this .. 1 ThermalMike reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmlang83 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2016 I'm having the same issue. I can get my build to boot once every so many tries directly to the BIOS. The best I've come up with is that setting the PCI-e slot to Gen1 (which is NOT ok with me). I'm shopping around for a better riser currently Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ThE_PsYcHoTiK_ 1 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 Where can we find a new riser for the P5? I'm living in France, thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moviemakergr 1 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 I am awaiting receipt of new cable replacement. (RMA) I know if it was damaged the previous or simply unsuitable for modern graphics cards and motherboards. I hope that by the end of the week can I have in my hands and tell you the results it would be useful to write those who have problems and what motherboards use. For RMA read and contact on this page > http://my.thermaltake.com/csWarranty.aspx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moviemakergr 1 Report post Posted January 27, 2016 Once I received the extension replacement.Things look really good initially. (motherboard Asus x99 pro) But I do a lot more tests in the coming days.I thank the ThermalTake for good support. Sorry guys the extender has Exactly the same problem so probably not damaged and the second but is incompatible. My Pc once time boot normally,other time not at all,and some time with delays in graphics.. (on PCI 1 x16) I'll wait for updating the solution you provide.

hyumaz 2 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 Hellosame problem for me, it does not work on a 16x 3.0 port ...Thermaltake has changed my cable , but the problem is the same with the new cable ...it only works on a 2.0 port x1 ...well on my graphics card works fine when it is connected directly to a 16x 3.0 port ...it is really damaging , because the Core P5 loses much of its charm to have to use the graphics card without riser ...FYI , I have a GTX980ti , and I tested the riser in two different motherboards, a R5E and a X99 -PRO ... 1 Moviemakergr reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ThE_PsYcHoTiK_ 1 Report post Posted January 29, 2016 Same problem for me too, I have to contact the support, but if the new cable have the same problem.... I'm really disappointed, the P5 without this riser is ugly.... :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyumaz 2 Report post Posted February 3, 2016 so I solved my problem . But not without difficulty, I bought a cable ( paid 44 euros but certified Gen 3.0) and it finally works correctly , the card works well at 16x gen3.0 ... It's a shame to have to spend 44 euros for me to fully enjoy the P5 core ... 1 Moviemakergr reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hyumaz 2 Report post Posted February 3, 2016 so I bought my cable on this site (I had also seen on ebay.com ) : http://www.highflow.nl/hardware/videokaarten/li-heat-pci-e-gen-3.0-ribbon-flexible-riser-cable-black.html I ordered on this site because I live in France (cable comes in 2 days)for now I just did a test on Firestrike 1.1 and I have the same score as when the card is plugged directly . FYI I have a gtx980ti overclocked .. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moviemakergr 1 Report post Posted February 3, 2016 No I will not go into these kinds of expenses paid transport for changing the cable.If not corrected within a reasonable period of one month I will go back asking me the money and of course negatively evaluate the product.I sole responsibility of the Thermaltake what happens and we have to correct without any other charges from us. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
