On the MoBo side its "5.5A MAX"
I should have been more clear, I was talking about compatibility mode ON.
Overall I think the solution works.
But, why did they not also test with power target and/or OC?
It is as if they think no-one is going to play around with WattMan.
I am kinda surprised, and this is not about trying to catch out AMD, just to define what can be done with the reference card from a consumer perspective.

Probably not enough resources.
Do only way this is 100% fixable is a recall and 8 pin. Simple as that.
Only way is to drop frequency/voltage to get into the pci-e spec of the amps of the motherboard and everything else. They just don't want to drop its performance.....
I expect reference design to kinda go EOL rather quickly.
To be slightly less cancerous? or toxic? "Now with 8.7% less Amps!"
It brought the PCIe slot portion to more or less within spec (some variance between different "quality" GPUs etc), and no-one really gives a crap about the PCIe power connectors, you can pull something.. was it near 200W from 6 pin without dangering the integrity of even lowest quality PCIe power connectors, even though the spec says 75W max, and many cards have pulled "over the spec" from them before, too.
