I got 2 of these USB risers recently. This was the cheapest available USB3.0 riser and had Amazon prime as well. Unfortunately, when using one of them, my 7870 was fried and had to send it back for a replacement. The only reason I am not giving 1-star is that the other one is working just fine so I am not quite sure at the moment what caused the failure of my video card. I have a guess though... The main reason for quality problem and my guess for the failure of my video card is that the 1x base of the riser does not attach to the motherboard firmly. It is always loose and very sensitive to the movement. It just pops out from its base if you slightly move the cable.In general, the quality of the product is passable. The USB3.0 cable is about 1-foot. I guess that is the reason it is cheaper from other ones.On a plus side, it seems that its providing enough power by using the SATA extension cable. I will replace the faulty riser and order a new one and see what happens. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great *by P***M on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on January 22, 2014* Everything on this works great and I love that you can easily just swap out for an even longer USB 3.0 male-to-male connector to have it extended even further. The only reason why I knocked off 1 start for this product is for 2 reasons.1) The PCB is fairly flimsy, at least from the little force that I've used to try pulling off the card. As I was pulling the card off of the riser, it ended up bending the PCB just slightly so it wasn't completely straight. I did try bending it back into shape, and it still does function the way it's supposed to, but again, I used just standard force while pulling the card off and it managed to bend. Now I am extra cautious and very gentle while moving and swapping cards out of it.2) The price. This is about double the price of other USB 3.0 PCIe risers. This one only comes with a 12" cable, unlike the option of 24" or 100cm cable like other risers have. The design on this is different and minimal and also uses a SATA power connector instead of a molex, but I don't think all of that causes the price to shoot up 2 times as much. This isn't a knock on the product, more so a knock on the seller. I think the seller is really price gouging on here since they seem to be the only one selling on Amazon. ### ⭐ Fire Warning!!! *by J***L on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on June 17, 2017* Bad product. Ordered 3 units. First package opened has melted plastic in the usb port, tried to remove it and the whole head came off the cable. Second package looked ok, plugged it into mining rig and within 3-5 seconds it started smoking black smoke. Quickly shutoff rig and pulled it apart to see scorch marks in the usb ports. Not even going to attempt the third. No reason to damage my expensive equipment with these cheap attempts at pci-e risers. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1843319-pcie-express-riser-x1-to-x16-powered-extender-for-litecoin](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1843319-pcie-express-riser-x1-to-x16-powered-extender-for-litecoin) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
