Hey! It looks like you're switching to an x670e with a 9900x. You mentioned losing the second CPU EPS 8 pin and now only have one left. Whether two 8-pins are needed or if one will do depends on your motherboard's configuration. Check your board's pinout to confirm compatibility.

The 8-pin setup works just fine, but you might need extreme cooling to break world records.

Referenced. Acceptable setup uses 1x8pin EPS connector for the 9900x model.
