EZ_PLUG_1 & EZ_PLUG_2 on single GPU card

Hi... I am only using one single GFX card right now since I took the other card out and gave back to my cousin.
The thing is - I still have the connectors plugged in to the EZ_PLUG_1 and EZ_PLUG_2 ports on the mobo,
because I thought it would not hurt, right? But now I was thinking, is there a chance that the other PCI-E slots
will burn/get overheated while having these connectors plugged in with a single GPU card? :confused:

What do you say - can I be cool just leaving it as it is, or should I remove the connectors immediately?

No harm in keeping the the EZ Plug connections intact.
