Seems like the heat came from the connector not the wires.
Sometimes, these was caused by over-bending the connector resulting in stretched ends, equals high resistance between the wires and the metal contacts.
The other wires look like heated by something thin, those aligned melted or scarred ring-like marks seems like bent around a metal edge for a while.

Always use MOLEX powered cables to avoid fire  |

It's always the connector, from my experience. They tend to be cheap and dangerous.
I switched out all my adaptors/connectors and use straight PSU to the riser, have never had a problem since.

I thought the problem was MOLEX to SATA. Can you show me the better risers? |

Those are like mine but I use the 6 pin to SATA adapter and SATA cable that came with my EVGA PSU. You're saying I should use a 6 pin to 6 pin cable instead? Dumb question, but which port would be used to make this connection? PERF, SATA, VGA or CPU? If VGA then I wouldn't have the ports to do it anyways. |

My risers have a 6 pin port, sata port, and a 4 pin port. I just used the 6 pin out of the back. I also use the 6 pin to sata since thats what came with the riser, so I guessed that is how it was meant to be used. |

This is good advice. Thanks! My risers came with adapter cables for sata, and I was using them, and wondering if they would really be sufficient. |
