I just got this board, but i'm kinda confused.
Is it mandatory to power the 2 molex on the MOBO if you use powered risers?

You don't need to use the 4-pin molex PCI-E supplemental power when using all powered USB risers. There is only a small 3.3V draw from the PCI-E slot to the riser through the USB cable. You also DEFINITELY SHOULDN'T connect different power sources to the motherboard, otherwise the motherboard will have to fight the different power sources to stabilize the line.
