I like Ver006c with PCIE connectors, do not like the Ver007 with Sata connectors. Waiting for a PCIE version to come out.

This webpage for reference, illustrates differences on current risers - https://www.cryptomined.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1&zenid=8asd43f5r4p7oap73ebsntvrc3

There are more out there than this but the above will give you some references.

Not entirely accurate. Source: a hundred or so ver007 risers I have that do NOT use a sata connection.

I would avoid any riser that have a sata or 4 pin fan header connection for power.

Any version risers with molex connectors are fine,

PCIE version would be sweet though!

this ver006 black one, and the red one ver007s.

would it be dangereous to use ver007s ?

Out of those 2 versions, this one would be what I would use without the sata adapters wherever possible.

Sata cables are lower gauge, see the below blog for more information as to why SATA risers should be avoided
