HP Z820 Base Model Workstation

I plan to make one last upgrade on this aging workstation

Right now I have a RTX 4060 Ti  with those power specs:

 

| 0 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Off | 00000000:05:00.0 On | N/A |
| 30% 37C P5 13W / 165W | 2217MiB / 16380MiB | 26% Default |

 

And it is powered with G1 and G2, tied together into an eight pin connector

 

I'm not going to install anything more powerful, I find it runs very quietly and has the right price / power / heat balance for what I' m doing with it

 

Now what is the right way to power a second instance of this GPU ? 

It really needs 90W peak from the GPU connectors. (165W needed -  75W  from the PCIE port)

 

The Z820  is the 1125W / 220V model.
