Hyte Y70 Infinte Touch Riser Cabel

[Dutch994]

My very first PC build, I am completely thrilled and stoked after going through the process of a custom PC. On installation I ran through all necessities, configs, setup towards a step-guide to follow. Started with BIOS flash to latest BIOS, setting up the case.
Once complete went through first boot within the Hyte case, came back after some time with a d6 error on the ROG Strix X870E Wifi7 NEO Mobo.
Confused ran through all diagnostics, even went via the mobo HDMI to access BIOS to set the PCIe lane from auto to Gen 4 & 3, did not work.

Later I removed the mobo from the case and directly installed the GPU to the mobo, and tested video output, similar working as a test bench. Everything functions, even gaming with the RTX 5070Ti.
I tried the riser on another PC running I an i5 either 3rd or 4th gen, with a Gigabyte 3GB GPU. After installing the riser and GPU, the AsRock mobo also returned the same error as the Asus with d6.

On Google did see a fair amount of comments regarding the Hyte Y70 case and the riser cable being an issue.
I've also tried to make sure the riser was completely flush with the motherboard, that there wouldn't be any lingering gaps. On the GPU side, well I did insert it, but I cannot directly control for lingering gaps. But also externally mounting the GPU and riser, that also didn't stop the d6 error from showing on both mobos.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Dutch994,

Sadly, it seems like your riser cable might be the culprit. You have done all the steps for a correct deduction of the problem.

You are going to have to return it, either for money back or for RMA.
Since the riser cable is part of the HYTE Y70 case, I'm afraid you are going to have to return the whole case including the riser.

Sometimes they can just sap out the riser cable for you at Megekko if you have got the chance to drop by in the Megekko shop in Breda. But that's not a guarantee.

You could of course try a different riser cable, because I don't think the GPU can even be placed horizontally in the HYTE Y70. But that doesn't solve the problem of the broken riser cable that belongs to the case.

Hey ElmarN,

It was the riser that was the issue, got into contact with Megekko, luckily did not have to send the case.
They sent me a new riser, after testing it, it worked, where then I went to install it into the case.
Now everything is working perfectly.

Currently looking into some way to possibly split the ARGB into 3 zones if that would even be possible.
And seeking how I can address 3 different color patterns to each zone.

And yeah, the case prevents the GPU to be placed horizontaly
