AVA5 PCIE 5.0 Riser Cable Revision Chart

AVA5 PCIE 5.0 Revision Information

 

Please note: The revision changes are made in the female connectors and their PCBs to improve compatibility with different PC cases, particularly ITX cases.

The performance remains identical across all revisions—meaning that:

  • V2 does not perform better than V1, and
  • V3 does not perform better than V2.

The updates are structural and compatibility-based, rather than performance-related.
