Alex offered it to me during our PM conversation & I took it so I could offset the cost of the real riser coming from AliExpress. Maybe PMing him here might work?

Refund for riser received. Thanks.

It's said that they're non-functional at 4.0 since at least August of last year. https://web.archive.org/web/20220810132937/http://www.adt.link/product/R33V42.html The fact is you sold me a defective riser. It does not work at 4.0. If you bought them & they were found to be not up to par...

A 4.0 riser that does not function fully at 4.0 speeds & is advertised as such by the manufacturer is not a high-quality 4.0 riser. Telling me to make it functionally the same as the ONE I ALREADY HAD is not an appropriate remedy for the bait & switch. So you planned to give us a...

I got a black 185mm one from the vendor linked by @riba2233 that had the lower shipping but higher base price. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003335925735.html

My actual 4.0 riser came to $78CAD shipped from AliExpress & I won't have to wait 402 days for it this time. Turns out the "cheaper" Thor Zone riser wasn't cheaper at all.

Oh, so I got worse stuff & you didn't even benefit from it financially? That makes it even better. Oh please. We're not talking about my supply chain skills here, because I'm not the one who took thousands of customers' money & set expectations that were not reachable & then acted offended or...

No see, Alex didn't intend to scam us, so that makes the scamming OK, because it just sorta happened, like the weather. Can't blame him when he had the best of intentions! He tried really hard to do what he said he would do, but it was just not in the cards, for some unknown, unsolvable...

It took you 402 days to get me a faulty riser & a footless, manual-less, incorrectly-labeled BORG. If that's "rushing" I don't want to see what taking your time looks like. You promised me a 4.0 riser with my Kickstarter case, then made me buy another one which won't run in 4.0 in my system &...

Hey Alex. I paid for a 4.0 riser. I got a riser that only functions in 3.0, which means you lied & sold me a faulty product. I don't want to wait 400 days, again, for you to fix your mistakes, again, so I've taken care of it myself. I shouldn't have had to do your job for you, but due to...

You need an 18-19cm cable with dual reverse connectors.

The "6.0" is just the revision number of the riser itself, which appears to be the latest revision of this: http://www.adt.link/product/R33V42.html There's a lovely disclaimer on the page: ADT PCIE 4.0 risers that actually, y'know, work at 4.0 (or at least lack that lovely disclaimer) look...

Yep, we've all got the same riser. Looking at @riba2233's storefront our "4.0" riser is listed here: https://www.sfftime.com/product-page/riser-cable-for-p-atx-v3-gen3-4-compatible & clearly states that this model is only good enough to support 4.0 long enough to get into the UEFI & change it...

There's no way I'm even gonna bother trying the pseudo-4.0 riser, as I don't want to have to borrow someone else's GPU just to get my system booting again. I'll be purchasing a real 4.0 riser & chalking up this as a long & expensive learning experience. Second time I've taken Thor Zone at their...

So the BORG comes in a box with the wrong name on the outside, nothing but a bag of screws inside, zero instructions anywhere & no feet? And the riser might not actually work as 4.0?
