The molex connector wiring pins have a tendency to break/loosen/shed the pins if they are not aligned perfectly as you try to couple them.

Molex type connectors are my least favorite PC connector.

2 is fine, I’ve done it on a half dozen different ATX power supplies with no issue. The PCI-E riser can pull a little over 75 watts per, so it adds up fast.

Where you get into trouble is trying to power 3 or 4 risers per sata power string. With Sata powered risers don’t put more than 2 risers per power string. Some motherboard and cpu combinations will do things like disable the 3rd or PCI-E slot if you have an NVME drive plugged in.Ĭlick to expand.I’ve used all three riser types. You can see that here from my Gigabyte X99 Gaming Ultra manual:Ĭonsumer motherboards/mainstream motherboards will commonly have more such limitations than HEDT boards because there are less PCI-E lanes to work with. Here are two limitations on my motherboard when using a CPU that has less CPU lanes like the 6800k. I had to upgraded to a 6850K CPU in order to support all my lanes, and then I still had to lose one slot if I used a particular U2 SSD. I tried to plug in four graphics cards but learned my originally 6800K CPU didn’t have as many PCI-E lanes as I needed.

(HEDT) a full frills enthusiast motherboard. With Intel, historically, only the CPU defines how many PCI-E lanes you have to work with. With AMD generally both the motherboard and CPU define how many PCI-E lanes you have. Some motherboard and cpu combinations will do things like disable the 3rd or PCI-E slot if you have an NVME drive plugged in. Click to expand.It’ll be in the motherboard manual.
