hi all
I am intending to mod my case to something similar to that of LIAN LI's design where the GPU would face the towards the glass panel of the system case. So I checked on a few comments/reviews regarding riser cables online and a lot of them are negative. I summed up a couple of "expert opinions" which suggest that the cables should have a power source(molex connector) and a capacitor so it could correct minute errors along the data transfers. but I also found other "premium" cable that has shielding on it but w/o any Cap or powersource
(I thought the shielding might compensate for the absence of the cap and molex since if no interference affects the signal then there wouldnt be a need for correction?? - I have basic knowledge in electronics but I am not an expert or anything so pardon me if im wrong)
to be short, my question is:
- In theory which one is better?
-- should I opt for the shielded PCIe Risers or the should I go for the ones w/ power supply and capacitor(s)
--- Is there any riser cable that has both features?
I am mainly using the machine for editing and gaming
and the metal side panel has been totally replaced w/ tempered glass similar to the LIAN LI design

Riser w/ capacitor and power source

VERSUS
Riser w/o power source or capacitor BUT w/ SHIELDING!
