Need help on powering risers for mining, 6-pin

Hi.  I've recently bought these types of risers

My question is, I have bought several cables, such as these, and a breakout board, like these, for use with DPS-1200fb server psu.  5997ead8a2e30_risercable.png.65ec841be246fd732a3e26dde509cae2.png5997eade81699_breakoutboard.jpg.9ceb7e6aeea3a70158f80eee02f52251.jpg

 

The breakout board only provides 12V.  Can I confirm if anyone directly connecting such riser, using such cable, to such breakout board?  Will it work?  I already bought them, though haven't actually powered them on yet.  In this case, the cable is 6-pin to 6+2 pin.  I'll be using 6-pins on both ends.

What exactly are you worried about?

what input does the breaker board take, and what does it give out?

breakout board uses HP Server PSU.  Breakout board gives out 12 Volts.  Not sure if 6-pin to 6-pin cable connected from breakout board to 6-pin on riser card will fry GPU.  Not sure if supplying 12 Volts to the riser is correct?  I see the risers above usually come with 6-pin to sata converter.dps-1200fb.png.8e21fa755dadbf1130d66eaeab54f5b6.png

I have the same riser and can confirm they only require the 12v input line from a PSU.
