Did you end up finding or figuring out a solution? I've wondered if there might exist a script that could help with this.

Is this (still) working for you guys? I'm setting these programs in the "Graphics" Windows 10 settings but I'm not sure if it's actually working. Is there a way to see if the iGPU is actually being loaded? I don't have any monitor connected to the iGPU port (which is merely an HDMI port built into the motherboard) because I get my audio from my discrete NVIDIA GPU via HDMI out and into a home theater receiver. Not sure if that could be the issue or not.

Since I was quoting two people's responses from that thread, I thought it was appropriate for context. Perhaps someone from that thread may have commented an update on their experience or knowledge they've since learned, but can't now because they have no sub/connection to this thread. The standards also don't mention anything about reviving. It might be good to update the standards regarding reviving, what's appropriate or not.

(Sorry for the necro, but thought I should ask here given it's quoting people's comments) What would be the harm in splicing in connectors from another cable? I have a leftover 6-pin Cablemod Pro PCIe power cable that I want to convert into an 8-pin (full wires, not the GPU connector side-wires extension) by cutting and splicing together wires the Molex cables from my set that I don't use. Because they're shorter than the 6-wires of the PCIe 6-pin, I'll have to splice together two halves per wire (which will already have the original female connectors attached). Mind you, this is only for the extra Sense+Ground wires, so no current will be flowing over them. If I'm cutting and soldering the same cables from the set -- thus wire/shielding properties are all the same -- would it be a problem if I solder-spliced leftover cables to make these two Sense/Ground PCIe wires? I want to make these two wires the same length as the other 6. I'm also extremely proficient at good, clean soldering. But perhaps I'm missing something as to why not to do this. What about a quality solid soldering station like Weller WES51? Surely that would be able to solder cabling such as this?

On an Nvidia/EVGA 3080/3090 FTW3 GPU, there are three 8-pin PCIe power connectors. How does the "ordering" of power draw work across its 3x power ports (+ its PCIe slot)? For example, if a 3080 FTW3 suddenly needed 450W of power, how or in what order would that be drawn: would it grab as much power as it can get from one power source before moving onto the next, e.g.: 75W from PCIe slot (..75W total) -> 150W from 8-pin #1 (..225W total) -> 150W from 8-pin #2 (..375W total) -> remaining 75W from 8-pin #3 (..450W) ..? Or does the GPU draw power through all the ports in parallel? What happens if one port can't supply power equally as the other two? As an example: if you have two 8-pin PCIe power cables + one 6-pin -- given 6-pin cables will only have 75W max drawn over them -- what would happen as far as power draw? Would it matter which port the 6-pin cable was plugged into? How would the GPU respond in a case like this, or if the 6-pin cable was alternated between ports 1-3?

I know it's been a minute, but this is awesome! Any update on this?

This is fantastic! I know this is a bit late, but thanks a lot for sharing this. Brilliant idea putting this together. Are you still working on it by any chance?
