Title: I shorted my power supply with my risers ver 008S Post by: Amstellodamois on February 07, 2018, 05:04:17 PM I used a 6 pin to molex cable to power two of these:

So, yeah, beware of this. It's not because it goes in that it is indeed compatible...

Fortunately these were on a separate supply and nothing was apparently harmed (except for one connector very slightly melted). Title: Re: I shorted my power supply with my risers ver 008S Post by: d57heinz on February 07, 2018, 05:31:45 PM Can I ask why you converted the 6 pin to molex? I would think that connection would be far more stable at higher loads. if you want to maximize your psu buy some 6 pin splitters. Easily two risers can run off one 6 pin cable.

I need my 6-pin to 6/8-pin to power the cards, so I wanted to use something else to power the risers.Title: Re: I shorted my power supply with my risers ver 008S Post by: CryptoWatcher420 on February 07, 2018, 08:00:28 PM Can I ask why you converted the 6 pin to molex?
