Hello all,
Long time watcher of the NFC projects, and finally pulled the trigger and decided to order a Skyreach 4M. Super excited to get the case in the mail.
My question: Anecdotally I have heard people having issues with Gen3 rated riser cables (Not for the S4, but for other PC build projects) and using Gen4 Video cards or storage. Longer term, I am planning to use Gen4 and am wondering two things:
1. Does anyone have any first hand experience with compatibility in this area? If so, what works/doesn't work?
2. Is there a plan to release a Gen4 rated riser cable for the S4M?
3. Are there any plans to have a bifurcated cable of some kind so I can split the available bandwidth of PCIe Gen4 x16 lanes?
One of the challenges moving from Gen3 --> Gen4 on the board level has been signal integrity and trace length, but I am not sure how that has impacted the S4M riser in this case. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I apologize in advance if these questions have been answered in separate earlier threads, still new to the NFC section and reading the backlog. Thank you in advance.
Regards,
-James
