Riser concerns with setup
Building a 7-8 GPU Rig - Going to be building multiple systems once the first one is completed.
GTX 1070's will be implemented into the system, all Nvidia 1070 Founders Editions, sporting 8 pin PCIE.
My power supplies will range from 1200 - 1600 watt systems, while reducing the power on each GPU and reach about 900 watt peak on an 8 rig.
006c
Would have no reason to really get these if I can only tag two molex at a time off each strand. I would end up ordering more PERIF cables that have molex on them versus the SATA bundle each PSU manufacturer gives me
007/007s
Generally these would be my last resort. I would use these if I can not fulfill 006c/006 boards really.

- Just wanted to confirm if anyone has experience with chaining from PSU -> *8 pin* GPU -> *6 pin* RISER - Each PCIE cable has a chain of 8(6+2) & 8(6+2)
- Can I plug in two risers per 'molex cable strand' if I can not do the PCIE chain? Should I use dual molex to 6 pin PCIE cables? Each strand has 4 molex plugs on it
- Are SATA to PCIE adapters still viable? Can I do dual SATA to PCIE to relieve potential burning?

- Any luck with these boards?

Avoid adapters if you can. I would think you could do use the extra 6 pin pci-e to power the risers but your wiring might be odd/tight with the 8pin going into the top of the gpu and then the bottom of a riser or neighboring card's riser.
I've just gone the extra molex. Buy a bundle of extra molex perifs for your PSU on ebay and negotiate with the seller. Use no more than two on a cable to power risers.
If you really run out of slots and need to use an adapter use it on the SSD vs the GPU. Use a long molex to Sata adapter and you can power your SSD off of a molex riser powering strand. That way you don't waste a perif plug on Sata.

It's 15 dollars, with shipping included for two sets of cables directly from manufacturer. And would have 8 molex to use appropriately. Will probably just make it easier to keep the PCIE cables separated, and use molex to power the boards each.
Thanks for the help!
