Normal
Its just data and 3.3v, same as m.2 is. You add external 12v on the riser. It looks like some of the risers handle the 3.3v differently as to whether its just passed through. On adt link m.2 to x16 it only needs 12v. The ali oculink board with sata tries to create 3.3v from 5v I think. That's what the caps and the linear regulator is doing on the left side i think.I think OSMeta makes a oculink to x16 riser with 6pin power input
