Hi @ll,
I just received new Hardware today:
- Asus z270a prime
- some PCIE risers UsB 3.0 with molex connector
- 3x 1060
- already owned 3x 1050 ti
- 2x Corsair cs650m PSU
I already connected 5 cards like this:
PSU1 powering Motherboard and 3x GPU PCIE 6PIN including the 3x riser with molex
PSU2 powering seperatly the other 2x GPU PCIE 6PIN plus the 2x riser with molex
now one molex cable of the corsair PSU has 4 molex connectors. I assume I can power 4 riser in total therefore? nevertheless, I can not connect the 6th card to PSU2 because the wires are simply too short.
I got one of these SATAPOWER<>MOLEX adapter in each package of the riser but I have read somewhere it is not recommended to use them because they can catch fire. What do you guys think?
I also searched for old extensions in my garage but only could find another form of SATAPOWER<>MOLEX. It was an extra of an old enermax or bequite psu, what do you think of these?
