So do we have to sacrifice the PCIE power connectors of a PSU?

 Guess it's off to Fry's to buy a couple 6-pin PCIe extenders and butcher those instead ?

 Are we going to need 2 6-pin PCIe's plugs butchered, or 4 x 6-pin PCIe's plugs to power both sides ? Each board needs to be powered or only one ?

 Can we combine 2 x 4-pin molex plugs to drive these ?


all 3 are basically true. as long as each board (180w) has 4 wires(2black, 2 yellow) to it, the current should be safe.
ps: next batch should colour code the red/black as yellow/black
