First of all, do not use SATA. Use either molex or PCI-E. I suppose there is one card now, when you will have more, I think you should go for a modular PSU.

No I am gonna power 12 1050ti with 2 Antec Classic 750W (non-modular, gold). I will start slowly of course, one by one, observing and learning.
You arent going to be able to power everything with a 750w 80% efficient power supply.  80% (.Cool of 750w is 600w available power.  Max tdp of the 1050 Ti is 75 ( x 12) = 900w and that isnt even including the motherboard, cpu, ssd, etc.  You are going to have to spring for a larger power supply and I would get a modular.  All of mine are.

I said I am gonna use 2*750W PSUs i.e. 1500W or 1200W at 80 %
Adding on to that, by using less than the full capacity of the PSUs and splitting the load onto two power supplies, the end result is the PSUs being near the peak of their efficiency curve and save you money on electricity in the long run. Good move on the PSUs.

In principle, all the same to which connectors you will hang your risers. The main thing is not to overload one line. Those. if you have 6 cards, then if possible, you need to hang 2 cards per line, if this is not possible, then 3 cards. But it is better to buy a normal PSU and better server, then there will be no such questions  Wink

use molex OR sata.. Risers is giving you an option.. It's your choice...

Hello guys,

I am trying to setup my hardware. Can you please tell me how do I power my risers ? My risers have a 6-pin, molex and a SATA port.
It has VER008s written on it.

I will be using 6-pin cord to power my 1050ti. So how do I power them ? I have non-modular PSU.

Please see what cables my PSU has. https://prnt.sc/ipqvsb

Thank You
