Current rig has 2 corsair PSU using the 2 pin Y cable as you posted earlier.
main PSU that is 850 W is powering the Mobo and 3 GPUs and their risers. Other CPU that is 1000W is powering remaining 4 GPU and its risers.
I want to replace the SATA cables with the PCIE cables.
So both PSU would have 4 6-Pin and 1 8-Pin slots available at back.
Ideally if I could find a wire with 6-Pin at one end and PCIE at the other end it would be great.
I want to avoid using server PSU as they are noisy.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Well the other option is the TRIPLE PSU adapter....works just like the 2....same rules apply....only a single psu for mobo or any gpu/riser.  As the movie lines go....”Do not cross the streams!”  Smiley

Im not sure how loud you think server psus are...they are a bit louder due to smaller size fan.  They make a bit more noise but as you look at 3 psus their fans usually arent silent either..and i can tell you on big rigs with 13 cards the gpu fans make more noise thean anything else....13-39 fans buzzing away makes some noise.  The server psu is the least expensive way to add a lot of power which is why a lot of folks use them.  Currently PSU prices are like gpu prices...silly.

Do you think I could just use a 8-Pin PCIE and just use 6 pins to power up riser? This way one 8-Pin takes care of 2 of the Risers ?


An 8pin is good for 288w.  Stay within the limit and will be fine..  if each riser draws 75 watts max you could power 3 risers from one 8pin.  75x3=225w..limit is 288w.
