Topic: Dual molex to dual PCIe 8 pins safe? - page 2. (Read 507 times)
This would be to power 1070s on risers. It’s a 850w power supply so I thought the power is fine I’m just Short on connectors to get the risers and GPUs together. One dual would power the riser/GPU combo for each card. If I’m good o power is it okay? What power supply has enough connectors for 4 cards without some sort of mod?
This is a big no, no, unless you want to burn your rig.
Two molex -> one 8 PCIe is all right, I was using it like this for a long time with old R9 280x cards.

I’ll have to resort to that if I can’t find enough dual molex connectors. I was hoping someone has used them before just trying to be as safe as possible.
Dual Molex are not safe. Single Molex are DEFINATELY not safe. Do not use ANYTHING other than PCIe to power GPU's if you do not want to risk burning the PSU's, ive burnt two using dual molex conectors.
If you do not have any more PCIe connectors, do not add more cards, this is why people buy 1300w psus even when theyd on tneed the extra power, for the connectors.
Should be safe if you use like less than 50 Watts.
To power 2 GPUs from 1 molex? Then no.

After almost completing my install. I ran out of connections. I know you can’t use SATA so I need more molex connectors. Is it ok to run these dual connectors? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XB7PWB6?tag=tablog-20
I haven't use this type of splitter yet. however I do use SATA for risers without any issues, just ensure it is connected to 1 on 1 setup, 1 riser to 1 sata without splits.
