Unlike some other manufacturers, we are using a special riser holding bracket to fasten PCI-E slot. If (for some reason) your riser's PCB would be able to break, then for sure you already made some damage to you case, or you didn't screw your motherboard or riser bracket properly. This is a thick galvanized steel, not some aluminium toy. You have to try hard to damage it in the way you are describing it. We changed the riser for Sentry 2.0 from flexible to stiff one, because with flexible ribbon there is a bigger chance to damage it during the installation, and stiff PCB is more likely to survive even hard treatment. We design our products to last for years, and changing the type of the riser is one of the things might help Sentry users in their assembling process, no matter how many times they will do it. With flexible risers many changes in hardware can cause some problems with it, if you are not careful enough with the riser itself. Old riser was great in our opinion, but we think that stiff one will do a better job. Of course, as always, time will tell if we're right.
