The riser is not certified for 4.0 nor made for it. It's made for 3.0. Being somehow compatible with early version of agesa supporting pci-e 4.0 was cool, but it might also be unstable and therefore it might have been disabled/changed. It's kind of hard for me to believe that there are actually long ribbon risers that are compatible with 4.0 as such riser support is still very bleeding edge, I think. PCB risers for HPC servers using GPUs for computation may be fully there, but consumer grade hardware for something like back-to-back - i doubt it. You'll find risers that worked with 4.0 on one agesa versions and became unstable on another like ours, that are stating 4.0 compatibility regardless of issues.As for looking into making a 4.0 riser - at this point this is a waste of time because we have barely crossed the bandwidth of 16 lanes of 2.0 or 8 lanes of 3.0 in games. So actually you don't really need 4.0 or even (stretching it a bit) the 3.0 bandwidth. The 4.0 is cool because of the nvme storage though.We are not going to waste our time on bringing an expensive riser to the market that wouldn't actually make any difference in actual gaming other than that you can show-off your "4.0" number in GPU-Z. Similarly to the subject of type-C on the front panel, we're going to wait for it (pci-e 4.0 risers) to become mainstream. With that said, if our supplier starts making the 4.0 compatible risers, then we'll see how it looks cost-wise.
