CY PCI-E Express 1x to - Review

As a product reviewer, I had the opportunity to test the CY PCI-E Express 1x to 16x Extension Flex Cable Extender Converter Riser Card Adapter 20cm from the brand chenyang. This product is quite popular among computer enthusiasts and is designed to support PCIe 1X card and 4X,8X,16X card (only providing 1X speed).

The high-speed FFC cable is flexible for 1U, 2U, 3U chassis and offers a layer PCB bard designing. With a 1-slot PCI-E 1X riser card and normal ribbon cable, the PCI-E Express 1x To 16x Extension Cable Extender Converter Riser Card Adapter 20cm is an innovative way to connect your PCIe cards for better performance and versatility.

First off, let's talk about the build quality of the CY PCI-E Express 1x to 16x Extension Flex Cable Extender Converter Riser Card Adapter 20cm. The product is very well built and feels sturdy in hand. I didn't face any issues with the connections or the flex cable during my testing period. The product is moderately priced and has been received well by the customers who have bought it, with an average rating of 3.7 out of 5 stars.

One of the best things about the product is its high-speed FFC cable, which is flexible and can be used in different chassis configurations. The cable length of 20cm (7.87 inches) is adequate for most setups and ensures that the PCIe cards can connect without any interruption.

Moreover, the layer PCB bard designing ensures that the product doesn't heat up while in use. This can be a major issue with similar products, and the temperature control of the CY PCI-E Express 1x to 16x Extension Flex Cable Extender Converter Riser Card Adapter 20cm is commendable.

I tested the product using an NVIDIA GTX 1060 graphics card and didn't face any issues while gaming. The performance was quite smooth, and I didn't notice any lag or frame drops. I also tested the product with a soundcard, and the quality of sound was exceptional. I didn't face any distortions, even at high volumes.

One issue that I did notice was that the product only provides 1X speed, which means that if you are connecting a high-performance PCIe card, the speed would be capped at 1X. This could be a major drawback for some users, and it's important to keep this in mind while buying the product.

Additionally, the product can be a little difficult to install for first-time users. However, the manual that comes with the product is quite detailed and can be helpful in setting it up. Once, you get the hang of it, the installation process becomes simpler.

Overall, the CY PCI-E Express 1x to 16x Extension Flex Cable Extender Converter Riser Card Adapter 20cm is a well-built product with some great features. The high-speed FFC cable, layer PCB bard designing, and temperature control ensure that the product performs exceptionally well. However, the fact that it only provides 1X speed could be a deal-breaker for some users.

In conclusion, the CY PCI-E Express 1x to 16x Extension Flex Cable Extender Converter Riser Card Adapter 20cm is a product that can be useful for any computer enthusiast. If you are looking for an efficient way to connect your PCIe cards, then this product is worth considering. However, if you are planning to use high-performance PCIe cards, then you may want to look for other options.
