Can risers with SATA connectors handle ETH+Dcr power use at default (no underclocking)?
I have power reserves, but afraid that risers might give up.

Anybody with sapphire Nitro 470RX 4gb, 8gb and/or MSI RX 470 4gb gaming X ON RISERS doing this double mining at the default power?

Whether you ETH solomine, dual mine, or even overclock your RX series it makes no difference in the amount of power from the PCIe motherboard slot because it only powers the memory, the rest is taken from your PCIe 6/8 pin power.

I think it always used 50 Watts last time I measured the current.

In my opinion 50 Watts is too much going thru SATA. It was ok with a R9 280X because those used max 25 Watts from the SATA connection, with a RX its never a good idea.

Nice to know. Does this apply to both the 8GB and 4GB versions of RX?
