The draw depends on your cards, and how much wattage a riser can handle depends on the cable. Most of the time, it's the power cable (extension) failure, yes the SATA/molex to 6-pin cable one or SATA cable if you have SATA risers.
The strongest cable obviously the 6-pin, but the problem is you will have a limited 6-pin cable to power the risers plus the gpus. After this point, what we do is a workaround to get the 6-pin like power from SATA/molex. From common sense, you will need more than one SATA/molex port to power one riser.
Therefore, I still prefer two SATA/Molex port -> two SATA/Molex to 6-pin (Y-cable) -> one 6-pin riser. The old school build.
