Use 16ga Cu wire and molex pin crimpers. If you have a real crimper with removable jaws (vs the flat stamped metal ones) just get a set of jaws for Molex pins. Amp and others do sell the cheaper flat stamped type but ya get what ya pay for...

I've done plenty of ethernet and phone cables in my life, but I was wondering if anyone knew the right tool to crimp PCI-e cables?

Any tips for the wire gauge to use as well?

Would this work ok?
