Transform a 16x -> 16x riser into a 1x -> 16x

[ilpirata79]

Hi everyone,

what about if I just cut the the additional line of a 16x -> 16x riser cable to make it a 1x -> 16x cable?

I want to do that because I don't want to use all the line of the slots which should (if I understood correctly) allow me to use more cards per board.

Best regards,

p.s. I am mining alt. coins and converting to btc
