The only question for me is if this connection (2 x 6 pin coming from two different ports using adapter are converted to 1x8 pin) is safe?
Yes.
All of the EVGA G2 line are "single rail" designs where all of the 12VDC comes from the SAME source.
If the power supply was a MULTI-RAIL design, this could be problematic - but that has gotten very RARE on high power ATX power supplies, and I don't remember ever seeing one at the 1000+ watt level that was multi-rail out of a REPUTABLE company.
Most GTX 1070 cards have a TDP of either 151 watts or 180 watts.
Even at 100%, it should be safe to run 7 x 150 and an EFFICIENT motherboard/CPU/etc setup from a G2 1300, though 95% is better on efficiency.
7 of the 180 watt TDP cards (examples include the EVGA FTW, Gigabyte Windforce) would be VERY marginal at best.
Most if not all of those cards have *2* power connectors though, normally an 8-pin AND a 6-pin.
This power total INCLUDES the power the card draws out of the riser.
There is at least one card out there (MSI Armor Gaming X or something like that) with a 240 watt TDP and 2 x 8-pin power connectors.
It seems to be almost impossible to push the card to that high of a power level though short of Liquid Nitrogen cooling - even the 1080 version of the same card has the SAME default TDP and I've never gotten mine to eat more than about 220 watts.
