I am using the EVGA FTW 1080 and an EVGA X99 Micro2 mobo. I picked up a EZDIY riser cable and am having the same issues it seems dozens of others have with these types of cables. My display only shows 20% of the time when booting up. I also think it may have been causing boot issues, but that may have been my RAM. Anyways, the myriad of posts I have found asking about these cables have recommended 3M brand and to just scrap anything cheaper as it will have issues working. I need to get a replacement for the EZDIY one asap as this build is on a time constraint. I spoke to an EVGA rep and he said while EVGA does not have any official recommendation that I should go with the shortest cable possible for my build and I should also check with the community to see if anyone has knowledge or expertise on the subject.
Let me know what you think thanks!
