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.

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.

As always, one of my rigs started to act up whilst I was on holiday. One GPU would start showing 511C errors, crash the miner and the rig within a few sec. Seeing that this couldn't be fixed remotely I cut the power to that rig completely using the tp-link smart plug app and decided to address it when I got back.

It was quite an easy diagnostic:

Flimsy Chinese risers. Always make sure you got a few spares, and don't insist on powering up a failing rig remotely if you suspect there's a hardware/power error.

Always use MOLEX powered cables to avoid fire

6 pin to SATA is fine too, right?

no never use anything with fucking sata to power risers. in worst case you will destroy your gpu or burn your home

RIP me, since my psu only has 2 pci ports and they are being used for cards. 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.

I have never seen risers without SATA. I thought the problem was MOLEX to SATA. Can you show me the better risers?

really solid risers, just use 6 pin pcie from your psu instead of the adapters.

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.

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.
