[Music] what is going on guys and welcome back to the hobbyist minor channel so today we're going to talk about gpu risers so i have been trying to get my hands on gpu risers for some time now they've been super difficult and all gpu risers are not made equally a lot of issues with a lot of the cheap ones that you find off of amazon and a lot of problems with some others that you find out there especially ones that you get overseas uh that takes quite some time to get in so i waited and
i was patient and we finally got our hands on gpurisers.com this took a little while uh i was in a uh i think it was like a late february batch is what i was um and just got them in actually no it was early march it was like the first week in march uh i got in on the early march batch we finally got them in can i say how much i love these boxes like they're so just like uh appealing eye appealing to to us miners uh out there so i want to go ahead
and show you guys what exactly you get in the gpu risers box uh that product versus like an amazon version of what i'm getting off of amazon with some of these cheaper ones these definitely are more expensive now um some of the better gpu risers the more reliable ones but that's what you want for your mining rig on top of that um you know the lead time takes longer but at the end of the day you get a better quality uh product so let's go ahead and take a look all i've done is cut the
tape on the front i have not opened this yet all right what do we get here we get a little thank you card thank you thank you please email us at support gpurizers.com if you have any issues and we'll get back to you cool it's got a little qr code on the back follow us on instagram no discount code all right so let's see what else we got here so we have our risers now we did order quite a number of these um one two three four five and six and i believe i actually have
a whole nother set of these coming i believe i have two sets and i got the first set today which is awesome so let's go ahead um these are all nice let's put these back in here i feel like i need to treat these a little more nicely they're hard to come by all right so let's go ahead fold up our box here and uh put it off to the side and let's take a look at just one okay so i'm gonna go ahead and pause the video and open this as it's difficult to do
with one hand and then we'll be right back alrighty guys so we are back we have it opened take a look at this gpu riser so nice so uh definitely higher quality these actually have nice foam on the bottom which is actually really convenient so my other ones do not on top of that we have our six pin as well as our molex and then on the back you have a six pin as well right here on the back sorry about that angle there guys um so really really nice i kind of like this white
look to it this is kind of nice has www.gpurisers.com uh right on there in nice text you got black capacitors here and you know it's always good when you get a riser to go ahead and check each of these capacitors make sure they're not wiggly and they're not um angled at all or messed up which these are not which is awesome we also have our little pci adapter for a usb cable which that's really nice and then we do have i believe this is a two meter um cable uh as well um nice and you
know short nothing crazy this is two feet two feet not two meters um so that gives us an idea usb 3 of course must have now what i wanted to do is i want to go ahead and show you one that i've gotten off of amazon um that i previously purchased in my naive days so let's go ahead and grab that i have that over here and let's kind of put these side by side here i'm going to get the other items too pci adapter we'll put those side by side as well and then our
usb cable cool cool cool and then it actually almost comes as well with this terrible thing uh which is the uh six pin to sata so taking a look first off here let's take a look at these side by side kind of see exactly what we get with these on the look of them so this does have a pad on the bottom just like the other one does in that regard other than that very similar the biggest differences are here as you can see on this clip this clip you put your card in and you
clip it forward i hate this thing by the way it kills my fingers to when you push that forward the way this one works which is the gpu riser one is you're going ahead and putting the card in and then look at that that little tiny snap that's it nice and easy thank you thank you uh this one does have the molex connector on it for power versus our our cheap one here does not so there's there's a big difference in those this one also has a six pin over here of it versus the back
so you can use either one this one only has it in the back side here as well so taking a look at our adapters a little bit of a difference there in our adapters with the white and also versus the blue both of them usb 3 which is definitely appropriate and then our cables you know not a big deal on the cables not all cables are made equally these look very similar in brand actually um just rebranded a little bit and then do not use these i have another video i'll put it in the top
corner take a look at it do not use six pin to sata if you guys can uh definitely do not use it um so these are our gpu risers so i'm actually going to take these and replace all of my cards with the gpu riser um because i think these are significantly better everybody uh within the mining community is pushing for these and really loves these recommends them they're more reliable so i'm going to go with these and then i'm going to keep these as my backup or as i add more cards and go ahead
and check up on our order on our second order of those well guys thank you guys very much for joining me today going over just a quick video on the gpu risers uh if you guys did enjoy this video please go ahead and give it a thumbs up and don't forget to subscribe until next time i'll see you [Music] [Music] you
