There is so much great info on this thread. I have tried searching for some answers but I have come up empty handed.
My setup;
6 x MSI RX 580 8gb.
Biostar 250 BTC PRO
Version 6/7 Riser (Only Molex Connection).
Gigabyte 1200XP dont give enough cables and dont sell individual cables.
I am about to introduce another 6 GPUs to this setup with another PSU.
PROBLEM: Setting up the first 6 GPUs with risers, I used all the molex cables and was left with only some 6 PIN to 4xSATA cables. So, when it came to powering the two 4 PIN AUXPWR ports on the Mobo, all I could use was a single 6 PIN to 4xSATA cable then use SATA to molex adapters to plug into each of the two AUXPWR ports.
On a scale of severity, how bad is that?
Those adapters always feel cool though.
If I can find a website/service to make some more molex cables for me that work with this particular PSU, is it still possible to use one single cable to power both AUXPWR ports?
Last question, there is allot of warnings about Molex to SATA adapters and to not use them with risers. Does that go for SATA to Molex as well, or all adapters that are sold ? i have a splitter; 8 PIN female that splits to 2x6+2. Are these a risk as well?
