Pcie 4.0 compatible riser cables

The Linkup is the only one of which I'm aware and consumer reviews appear to be mostly positive. I've not found any professional reviews and I've not used it myself. It's available in various forms from Linkup's website (no link as you can place orders there) and I'm sure OCUK would order it for you.
I am very dubious about 4.0 cables. The reason they are expensive is at very, very high frequencies it gets more and more difficult to ensure that signals traveling down the cables stay in phase. If they go out of phase the cable just stops working. This is why they stopped using parallel cables for HDD's and intel even wanted to use serial RAM. They had a fair old bit of difficulty with gen 3. I find it difficult to believe that gen 4 wont have even more problems. So at the moment I am kinda waiting to see how successful they are.
