Try as much as possible to avoid any s-ata adapter or even molex adapter connection for powering up risers! Sooner or later, it will get melted.
S-ata powers are good until around 25watts consumption (for biggest hard disk), but PCI-e adapter can consume more than 80 watts when delivering 75 watts to graphic card.
The best riser power supply connection, is directly PCI-E 6 pin connector plugged into it.
Hi,
Is it safe to use 6 pin 3x splitter ? I'd like to buy custom made 6 pin splitter 1 x 3 for risers.
No that would be over the wattage limit of a 6 pin....
see here and dont cheat on wattage or expect melted wires and burned mess.....
