I got my second pcie riser cable today, YEA!!!!!!!!
I am having so much fun now, I think everybody should try sli on riser cables!!!!!
let's cut right to the fun, shall we?
the way I am routing the cables is nested one on top of the other, this is not working out quite as I had thought.... well... um.... er....... not at all actually.
with both cards in the board all is happy and goodness reins supreme.
when I mount the cards out on the bracket and route the cables so they look pretty and are out of sight behind the cards happiness packs it's leaving trunk and dusts it's broom, like when your little brings you a bourdon and coke with nothing but coke in the glass..........
kind of pull the cables apart some, and make the pretty, fully exposed rig start to look fairly ugly and the rig starts to improve some so I figure nesting the $30 cables is going to be a no go.........
I called my buddy, down in Atlanta who knows stuff and things and he says that nesting $30 cables is going to be a no go.......
he tells me I need (as usual with him), some of these, http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?mpart=8KC3-0726-0250&vendor=19, $100 cables
will the $100 cables nest into each other and make my rig all happy and pretty again????
