I'm building a mining rig and need to clairfy a point.
I have molex powered PCIe risers and GPUs requiring 1 8pin PCIe connection (1070s).
My plan was to have a single cable doing each riser and a single cable doing each GPU.
But the PSUs specs weren't clear and when it said 8 molex what it meant was 4 per cable from the modular PSU.
Now the last thing I want to do is to overload any cables. So is the following safe (each line represents a modular cable from the PSU):
PSU cable 1-----------Molex to riser 1------------Molex to riser 2 (3rd and 4th molex connector not used)
PSU cable 2-----------Molex to riser 3------------Molex to riser 4 (3rd and 4th molex connector not used)
PSU cable 3-----------8pin PCIe to GPU 1------------8pin PCIe to GPU 2
PSU cable 4-----------8pin PCIe to GPU 3------------8pin PCIe to GPU 4
