Can someone explain how all those 16 PCIe power connectors on that board are used?

The connectors on the short end are power inputs and the connectors on the long end are outputs??

You got it figured.

So if you're powering a GTX 1080 Ti that uses 250 watts and power is supplied by 2x 8 pin PCIe power connectors, you'd feed the power to the board on the short side. That single lead would give the board the bus power it needs and then the power for the cards would route through the board out the long side connector to a double headed PCIe power lead to the top of the GPU?

I can see how cabling and wire management would be neat and clean. BUT, seems like you'd be pushing a ton of watts through the board as a result.

yeah that makes me nervous too. potentially ~2000 watts if your cards come up at full power due to whatever. are there any published specs on what the upper power limit per card is for this board?

Not many people will run the cards at the full power if there is electricity to pay. I only run them at around 60-70% to get higher efficiency.
