a 3090 and a 3090 ti . i like two cables with two jacks  each

that is 4 jacks i merge one jack from each  cable to a eight pin cable.

and i use the other two jacks alone

That's an interesting way to balance the load accross 2 cables but I don't think adding connectors in series is
a good idea when drawing high power.

2x8 + 8 + slot should be good for up to 400W. That's 76% of the rated capacity, so 228 watts from the
2x8 cable, 114 from the 1x8 cable, and 57 from the slot.
