Hi Everyone,
So this is probably a noob question, but I am currently not using the two extra pins on my four 2+6 pin power connectors since my two 570s don't require it. My question is can I use three of this 2 pins to power/ground the Phoebus? Here is what I am talking about however my 2 pin connectors are really long.
I would like to not have to use the 4 pin molex to 6 pin PCIE in my case since it is already crowded and those 2 pins are hanging out in the back of my case doing nothing.
Thanks in advance!

A couple of things you need to consider:
1) The 6 pin female connector will not accept that lead in all positions. The holes are rounded off.
2) Those leads would not reach those of the card if you are plugging them into GPUs.
So, carefully consider these points and you will have your answer.

Yes the round shape on one end ensures people don't plug the connectors in upside down to create fireworks or put the 2 pin connector in the wrong place.
