Plug 6-pin SATA/Peripherals into GPU's 2nd 6-pin?

Is it ok to plug the 6-pin SATA/Peripherals into my GPU's 2nd 6-pin? I have a 580 Devil GPU that requires 8pin and 6pin.

AFAIK, molex has unreliable ripple suppresion so it's a no go for me. You're better off with PCIE cable splitter. Officially, RX 580 has 185W TBP and unless you're OC'ing it, you're good to go with the cable splitter.

Thanks for the quick response!

Please consider my solution as a temporary fix because I assume by having only 1 8pin PCIE power cable that means your psu will be pushed to its limit by your gpu. Having a new, more powerful psu is the only good solution for your problem.

Check how much power each rail can deliver.
