PCI-E risers, are they still causing problems?

[pieman109]

As title, are these risers causing issues like black screens and crashing like they did a while back? I recall that it had summat to do with the pci-e gen 3-4 option in the motherboard bios. Have people solved this problem or is it still on going?

Not had any issues with my Linkup pcie 4.0 one.

No issues with the one in my NR200P MAX case

I used a few combos and I found the cable tended to be the issue if it was not made up very well. Stick to a decent brand case + riser and you shouldn't have any issues.

My Lian-LI PCIE 4 worked fine

Ok, just installed a Lian Li riser for me lancool II, and........had to spend about an hour trying to get the bugger to boot, absolute no go! Tried setting pcie gen 4 in the bios, reseated umpteen times, reinstalled the gpu a good few times as well, works for a bit but then won't boot from hibernation.
Taken the riser out, and all is groovy again. I reckon its a mobo/bios prob meself but I cba to start digging around to confirm either way.

Mine is a Z690 system, it is a strange issue. Take it you have the latest bios etc.

I'm just trying it out in another pc, 10100f/Zotac 1660super/16gb 2666mnhz ram and so far its going like the clappers but I need to see how it boots up from hibernation. If it copes just fine, then its gotta be the MSI 570 tomahawk mobo it was in previously

Definitely a PCI-E 4.0 riser? Tried setting Gen 3 in the BIOS?
