Power draw official numbers / consensus : Molex vs SATA vs 6 pin vs 8-pin for PCIe riser

I know i’t been covered a lot. But I would like a resume. 😉

  • How much watts each one can draw (Molex vs SATA vs 6 pin vs 8-pin)
  • Is those numbers ok only if you have one adapater per PSU cable?
  • What abou dual molex / dual sata to 6 pin? Is is a good solution (assuming you plug them to 2 different psu cables)?
  • What is considered a safe practice for an AMD 570 / 580 (about 95w)? Molex to 6 pin, one adapter per PSU cable?

Any kind of answer are welcome!
