Baikal contacted me a couple days ago to confirm shipping details for my Giant-B order, "As it is getting closer to the shipping date, I am here writing to you for double checking your delivery details."

I already have these extra NIB PSUs on hand not being used, so my plan is as follows:
EVGA 1200W P2 (6 VGA power outputs) for Giant-B x2.
and/or
EVGA 1600W T2 (9 VGA power outputs) for up to Giant-B x3.

Will require 3 VGA power cables for each Giant-B since EVGA includes a bunch of 8-pin from PSU to 2+6-pin w/ 6-pin cables.

I'm a little confused. Giant-B requires 6x 12V 6Pin connector = 36 total pins. if you only use 3x 8 pin VGAs = 32 total pins per unit. How is that equivalent?

EVGA VGA power cables, have dozens of these as extras on hand and not enough 8-pin to 8-pin: https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-8-PIN-TO-dual-8-6-pin-PCIE-VGA-Power-Supply-Cable-for-SuperNOVA-1000-G2-/202146319410

Each out of those VGA power cables includes 2x 6-pin. EVGA 1600W T2 has 9 VGA power outputs. That means 1 PSU & 9 power cables covers 3 Giant-B. Alternatively, EVGA 1200W P2 (6 VGA power outputs) for Giant-B x2.
