I have a small scale farm with mostly 12 GPU rigs. Removing connector is more time consuming than making a custom cable assembly. I am going to change all the PSUs to server ones so one side is absolutely ready for soldering. Thanks for the replies. I am surprised that nobody offers such a riser.
@Manufactureres, please ditch sata connector and give us 2 big + - pads for future risers.
Topic: PCI-e risers with exposed pads? (Read 150 times)
I look for PCI-e risers that have exposed pads for power connection. Dealing with molex jr is pita and time consuming. Thanks for the responses.
Isn't it more time consuming to be doing some soldering or doing some custom work on risers? I haven't seen any with a barebones board and they seem to be sold as is. Not sure what you're trying to achieve but I mean molex is not good but it's a hell of a lot simpler and easier to plug it in.

Looks like you are going to hard-wire the power connector so you'll be doing a bit of soldering.
I had a connector melt on me so, with a pair of snips and a soldering iron, removed the damaged connector and soldered on wires with a SATA power connector at the other end - problem solved.
What you can do is exactly the same, if you can't find ones with exposed pad, buy risers with connectors and remove them.
