Problem is those cheap Chinese things cause instability issues. I have indeed used them where a PC has a damaged X16 slot, to get a customer out of trouble until they can afford a new PC. However all the above aside, I do occasional encounter this scenario, and having a good reliable tried and tested riser to supply to my customers in the future would be handy. I have a really strong urge to cut the gold fingers on the graphics card. I cannot cut the slot, as there are othercomponents obstructing the gold finger. I have reason not to cut the card as it is a spare for my server. I don't want to cut the slot as this is just a 'temporary' solution. So my choices are - use a good quality riser, or cut the slot or card to fit. Being that the card is 8x, and I am connecting it to a 1x slot, the better the connection the better the performance. In fact, I will be using the limit of what is possible using PCI-E x1.
