Flexible Riser Advice needed

[Testifier]

So today, my SLI build suffered severe FPS drop. It turns out just I suspected, which is due to the EZDIY 200mm riser couldn't able to handle this bend

Looking forward to replacing this riser with a more robust solution. Currently looking at the Liheat riser and the Thermaltake Premium. The Thermaltake is a little bit too long at the minimum length of 300mm and the Liheat has to be shipped from China. And I don't even know if those two choices are good enough for my case.

If anyone thinks which one is better out of the two, or if you have any other recommendation, please let me know. Thank you very much!

I am curious to know more about the problem. When you said the riser cable cannot the bend, do you mean:-
1) if the cable is folded back now, it will then work properly to provide the performance, or
2) the cable has already suffered permanent 'damage' due to this bend and is not usable at all.
If it is (2), how long has the cable been in this bent position? A few weeks or a few months?

I have always wondered of the longevity of this kind of riser cable.

3M has the gold standard for riser cables. That being said, Lian-Li are furnishing a very similar black riser cable for @dondan's A4 V3. Perhaps you can get one through the Dan Cases SFFLAB store? Or maybe the HDPLEX riser (apparently creaseable) is one you could go for?

The new Li Heat risers are amazing. That's what I would do for a long riser.

A second vote for LiHeat. Calling @yawacool

LiHeat seems really good. @yawacool's support on helping me integrate it into a design has been very helpful.
