I recently purchased a SSUPD Meshlicious Case with PCIe-4 riser cable. Thing is I tried plugging in my PCIe-3 card and PCIe-3 motherboard and got black screen. Used my old PCIe-3 riser from Loque Ghost S1 and works fine. I know I dont need a PCIe-4 cable with my hardware, but I do plan buying the next Ryzen Zen 4's next year and a PCIe-4 GPU soon.

I know a lot of people say that PCIe-4 is cross compatible with PCIe-3.
Should this setup be working, or is the riser cable broken?
