[SOLVED] Does ANY of the RTX 3090s from ALL the AIB partner cards only require a 2 - 8pin power connector? Also which of the RTX 3090 in existence is thinnest?

Hello all,

I have a Z390 Godlike motherboard:
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813144209

I am trying to fit 3 or 4 RTX 3090s on this motherboard for mining. I figure that the only way to do that is to either remove the AIB heatsink/fans from each of the 4 RTX 3090 GPUs and put in a custom waterloop
OR
Buy the thinnest RTX 3090s in the market in existence today out of all the AIB partner cards.

So my questions are:
1. What is the thinnest RTX 3090 in existence today? (For example: I know the EVGA Kingpin has a width of only 2-slots compared to most RTX 3090s which are 3-slot GPUs)
https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=24G-P5-3998-KR

2. I only have 9 VGA connectors on my EVGA 1600 T2 Titanium PSU. Is there any RTX 3090s in the market today that only requires 2 8-pin power connectors instead of 3?

3. What is the spacing of the 4 GPU PCI-E slots on my motherboard? Is it 2-slot apart?

probably not, although im not sure, since 3090s need to pull a lot of watts.

Partpicker says there are quite a few: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/video-card/#c=493&Q=20

its worth a shot, but i think they might not be as good as the 3-8 pins since those gpus have the potential to use a lot of power and have very high performance. also those gpus pull like 350 watts each, so if you want 4 you will have 200 watts left over for other components, which is a little tight.
