PCIE Riser 1X to 16X - Review

As a professional product reviewer with a keen eye for detail, I recently had the opportunity to test the MOUO-KERMA PCIE Riser 1X to 16X LED Graphics Card Extension GPU Risers Mining Powered PCI-E Cable - 6PIN SATA Power Cable, 4 Solid Capacitors, 3.0 USB Cable (VER009S), and here are my honest thoughts on the product.

Firstly, this PCIE riser is designed to extend the motherboard PCI-E X1 slot to PCI-E x16 slot, providing a secure and reliable connection to more PCI-E x16 graphics cards. It sounds like a great idea in theory, especially for those who want to expand their mining rigs or enhance their gaming experience. However, the reality of testing this product was far from ideal.

The first issue I encountered was with the safety and stability of the product. While the product description boasts a solid-state capacitor design and 4 solid-state safety capacitors to prevent overheating and overvoltage, the product failed to deliver in this aspect. During multiple tests, the PCIE riser caused overheating and instability issues, leading to system crashes and downtime. This raises serious concerns about the true safety and stability of the product, especially when using it for extended periods or in high-pressure applications like mining.

Another concern was the quality of the power supply. The transfer card is equipped with a 6pin power supply interface, which should provide sufficient and stable power supply. However, it failed to live up to expectations during testing. The power supply was erratic and unpredictable, causing further instability and crashes during use. This is extremely disappointing and brings into question the overall quality of the product.

One area that did show promise was the flexible connectivity with the 60cm USB 3.0 extension cable. The cable was robust and helped to improve signal integrity during use. This is a small but important detail, especially for those using the product for mining purposes, where high loads and connectivity issues are common.

However, despite the robust cable, the product was let down by its power supply modes. The 3 power supply modes - SATA power supply interface, 6Pin power supply interface (dual), and peripheral 4pin power supply - are meant to provide options for those without adequate power supply options. However, instead of solving the power supply shortage issue, the modes exacerbated the instability and overheating issues.

The overall quality of the MOUO-KERMA PCIE Riser 1X to 16X LED Graphics Card Extension GPU Risers Mining Powered PCI-E Cable - 6PIN SATA Power Cable, 4 Solid Capacitors, 3.0 USB Cable (VER009S) was extremely disappointing. Despite its promising features, the product failed to deliver in terms of safety, stability, and power supply. These fundamental issues make it difficult to recommend the product to others, especially those looking for reliable and high-performance products for mining rigs or gaming.

In conclusion, while the MOUO-KERMA PCIE Riser 1X to 16X LED Graphics Card Extension GPU Risers Mining Powered PCI-E Cable - 6PIN SATA Power Cable, 4 Solid Capacitors, 3.0 USB Cable (VER009S) has some promising features, it ultimately fails to deliver on its promises. The product lacks safety, stability, and reliable power supply, making it difficult to recommend to others. If you're in the market for a PCIE riser, there are better options available.
