It's poor design on Nvidias part. There is no load balancing.

Alternate title:
Nvidia SLAMMED as 5090 GPUs start caching on FIRE

22 Ampere is pretty much half the power draw of the card, through one wire instead of three if the load was properly balanced between them.
Apparently the reference design only has one current shunt, so they can't even measure the imbalance. Madness.

What did it sayyyyyyy

Use the 12VHPR cable that came with your PSU

Well, of course. What can you expect from a Chinese PCB that costs only 2500 USD, right?

That IDE connector was for SLI...

A handful? Wow that's gotta be like 50% of the 50 series out there!

That's a good point and I need to start considering that option in any future upgrades.
