PCIE cable issues

[sentlon]

my PSU come with 2 PCIE cable which each of them come with spilt dual 6+2pins  

my 3080 which need 3x 6+2pin for power up. 

it end up i have use 3 of the 6+2pin and left 1 6+2pin from other spilt.

my question is. can i use the left 6+2pins for power up other component ?

I don't think you should because if the power draw on that part will be the same on the rest of the connect, that left connector may output too much power to whatever other thing you tried plugging it into. I think, could be totally wrong.

how about using molex to 8-pin adapters to fire up another gpu for only need 1 6+2pins?

just wanna to double confirm with all the expert who read this.

my concern of using 1 PCIE cable with dual spilt 6+2pin . 

can each of the 6+2pin connect to different GPU ? 

will it cause fire or other safety issue?
