Hey u/jimmy_007vn,
Assuming you're talking about this PSU. If you are, this PSU can power 3 Vega cards and whatever risers you'd need. The risers will be connected to the SATA rails that come from the PSU.
Currently there are 3 types of risers:
Molex/SATA
SATA/6-pin
SATA
All three of these types of risers will be connected to the PSU rails directly. You don't need to buy a pin converter. You'll just need two power supplies and a power supply connector so that you can run 6 cards.
I have personally tested the Molex/SATA and the SATA risers, and I personally like the SATA risers. The Molex/SATA risers have melted twice on me, causing two GPUs to ruin themselves(this occured at different times). The SATA only riser is currently the best I have used. I have not had a melting issue like I did with Molex/SATA. I have bought some of the newer 6-pin risers to test after reading that they are supposedly safer than previous riser types.
The electricity used by the risers will be negligible, and you don't have to worry about overloading your 1000w PSU.
I hope this helped.
The riser has aux 4pin molex: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071LQFCN4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I agree the current should be through the aux, and not through the PCB (I definitely plugged it in, but either maybe not far enough or it was internally broken?)
It was a Rx 480 Saphire Nitro 8gb GPU.
My mobo is an ASRock Z170 Extreme 4. Though given this incidient, I may need to get a new one...
Thank you for the suggestings for brands of risers.
