EVGA Supernova 1600 G2 Powering 2 GPUS and their risers from a single GPU slot

Hi folks,

I am wondering if it would be possible and safe enough to power 2 X RX580 Nitro+ 8GB cards and their risers form 1 GPU slot of the PSU.

This is the GPU

and as everyone knows the RX 580 Nitro+
https://www.sapphiretech.com/en/consumer/nitro-rx-580-8g-g5

Currently, i am powering every GPU and its riser with 1 GPU slot from the PSU - 1 cable that splits and powers the 8 pin connector of the GPU and the riser with 6 pin

I was reading here and there that it should be ok if the power is not exceeding 225 W .

On Phoenix miner it shows that every GPU draws between 90 and 105W (GPUs are bios modded undervolted etc...)

So 2 RX580 Nitro+ 8GB will need 210W max.

Another question is Phoenix miner showing the consumption of the GPU and the riser in total? Or is this only the GPU? As far as i know the risers can draw up to 75W power

Thanks
