I guess my question is mainly;
1) will long usb cables provide much noise and performance drop? I am talking the high quality, thick insulated usb 3 cables, 5m or so
2) the usb 3 risers should be fine to be connected into x16 slots right? They should connect just to one part I believe? Never had to look at this before
Thanks
the main issues from an engineering perspective are:
- a delay that may be outside specs for PCIe (finite travel speed of signals in copper wire...)
- excessive signal attenuation (this is HF signals after all)
I would not recommend going past 1m... Sure you can try, but I am sceptical.
