Felipe, what do you mean? Do you mean that nVidia cards from HP workstations have different pinout? I believed that it is in ATA standard, the pinout for AUX PCI-E divices, and it is unchanged by vendors, unless HP wants to manufacture a proprietary cards with mixed up pins...Why would the want that; it is Apples's approach.
I checked, HP Proliant PSU side connectors are different, and have 3V... it is like any proprietary PSU side connector. They have different keying and will not fit. But you can take 12V from just anywhere. It is usually on the same transformer winding, and the power is the same as for all devices. Taking it from parallel GPU is unreasonable just because of long wires may overheat. But you can take them from ATA.

The HP connector is wired different and can blow your system.
Nowadays is easy to find this cable to sale.

Hi,
I bought this one. And it is working fine! (I have 5820 with evga rtx 3090 ftw3 who needs 3x8pin).
