PSU: EPS Connector to PCI-E mod?

[haelduksf]

The physical connectors are the same, but the wiring is a bit different (EPS vs PCI-E). It looks like all you have to do to make the EPS connector into a PCI-E connector is to move the 12v lines around, get rid of the 3.3v lines, and add one more ground. Is there any reason that this mod wouldn't work?

12v is 12v. It's all the same.

Sweet. Now the question becomes: Which rail does the EPS 6-pin connector use? Logic says 12V2...

Depends on the PSU. There's no specification for it.
