Hey guys,

I had a quick question about Corsair's HX12000 PSU:

http://www.corsair.com/en-us/hx-series-hx1200-1200-watt-80-plus-platinum-certified-fully-modular-psu-na

Instead of using a sata to 6 pin cable to power my risers (http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB3-0-PCI-E-Express-1x-To-16x-Extender-Riser-Card-Adapter-SATA-6Pin-Power-Cable-/192183840986?hash=item2cbf0cb0da:g:1W0AAOSw42dZE79T), would I be able to directly connect them to the peripheral ports on this PSU?

I'm trying to upgrade/move away from my current sata to molex powered risers, and was planning on spiting six 6+2 PCIE cables to power my GPUs and risers. However, I just realized that this expensive PSU eats a 8 pin slot for the 4+4 CPU..which leaves me with 5 slots for my 6+2 PCIE cables.

Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks!

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

But its not worth it, IMHO, SATA works just fine for powering your type of riser.
