Sorry for digging up this old thread but I am about to build my first 13 GPU system using this port and I get mixed messaged when googling and also I am not sure if I understand what people said here on this specific topic.


So if I use molex powered risers (each of the 13 usb risers will be powered separately via molex)

Do I need to also plug the additional power inputs on the motherboard as the manual suggests? or will I melt my motherboard.

I really cant afford to melt it (and potentially the GPUs as well) so please answer only if you had this board or similar boards and know that the way you suggest will indeed work.

I thank you in advance.
