The final answer is nvidia fucked up and should of used 4 8 pins for the 4090 and there’s no other answer
Just adding more and more 8-pin connectors is not a sustainable solution.
The real fix is probably to go back in time and have PCI-e 3.0 revamp the power delivery to allow more than 75W to come from the slot.
they should probably not make gpus that use that much power. clearly, they are going over board with the chip size. to the point where they are charging 3x the price of what a flagship card used to cost a decade ago. if they do something like that you can't fault the standard, they should come up with their own solution that works if they go overboard like that
