You can convert from Molex to 6-Pin, or vice versa - but never SATA. Only buy high-quality adapters which use 16 AWG and better cabling. 18 AWG is okay in a pinch, but at a ~13 amp DC limit, it'll be pushing the limitations of thin wiring. Use this handy table to decide how to split power between connectors. It is always best to buy a fully modular power supply and extra harnesses with the desired connectors if your PSU supports it." https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/wiki/hardware/risers Daniel [email protected]_twitter "Depending on your card and power use they will just melt" Multiple PSUs You can add multiple PSUs to supply the GPUs with the power they need. To turn on a PSU you need to short the Green wire to GND. Adapters like the one below will do this automatically when the PC is turned on.
