Melted connector, short circuit, fire etc Smiley  Only 1 sata riser on each cable.

Buy risers with gpu/pcie molex connector or what it’s called. Add second power supply with breakout board (with 12v in so both start at same time. Cable riser and gpu with separate cables from psu. Riser and gpu must always get power from the same psu. Go pro and safe. Don’t cheap out.

it could cause you issues, try to connect max 2 risers per cable



Remember on a Sata connector there is only a single 20-18 AWG wire actually providing 12v. You should do what the person I quoted said and just run 2 per cable run. I have hundreds of miners runnning 2 per with no issues whatsoever, if you bump that up to 3 you will eventually have fires/failures/sadness of some sort.

The main issue would be they overheat and start on fire.

I agree with previous poster, no more than 2 per chain and 1 if possible.
