i want to use a risers with 6pin cable but with molex or sata it's  less power than the pcie needs(75)w and i don't want to use the  main pcie entrances on the power supply becuse i want tp use them for the cards so i was thinking is there a cable i can use  to convert this output to 8pin ?  even if i use 2 to get one 8pin ? can i use that?

Yes.

Also this is for gpu mining not btc mining.

Question should be in altcoins

I will ask mods to move it.

I will look for a link for what you want.

Now to feed sata into this use two Sata cables from separate jacks.

So you can safely do two risers with  four sata jacks.

or something like this:  ​https://www.ebay.com/itm/140662092231
(2x molex to pci-express 8-pin)

I'm not aware of such a cable but it seems like a good idea. The thing is not all PSUs use the
same pinout so they would have to be custom made.

I am not sure it is wired correctly but it can work with proper wiring.

At op have the riser handle 50-80 watts usually only happens on high watt gpus. A 1080ti a 3080 a 3090

Yes you can use but dont overload these slots to much it melts easy. max 2 risers on 1 slot.

No. And its not recommended - they arent meant to handle that kind of amps and will likely burn/melt. If using a low power GPU use a molex riser. Or if you still want to use a pcie powered riser, get a splitter cable and use that on your psu's pcie cable - use one end of the splitter to power the riser and the other to power the GPU.
