It's doable as there are many tutorials/YouTube videos about it already.
The hard part is to "tweak" the 24-pin connector as you need a splitter (not recommended) or a circuit like add2psu.
Just search add2psu or similar circuit on amazon/ebay. It works with multiple PSU.
I would not look for such circuits on YouTube, but would buy a proven adapter. But it’s better to either reduce the number of video cards or increase the power of power supplies so as not to create unnecessary problems for yourself. I buy a new power supply for each mining farm and do not save money on this.

I would use such a synchronizer for three power supplies. With your synchronizer, when you turn off the main power supply for the motherboard, the others will continue to work. I myself do not use more than 2 power supplies. I use such synchronizers, they work for a long time and stably.

fixed link I think

looking at it you would need 2 of them

and I am not sure it would work.  they are y connector based and two ends attach to 2 psu's

so

1)psu >>>> connector 1 merges to output >>>>>> to
2)psu >>>> connector 1 merges to output


connector 1 output to connector 2

3)psu >>>> connector 2. then this output has all three psu's and goes to mobo

and I am clueless as to whether it works

I never tried 3 , but Im pretty sure if you use the same caution/procedure as running dual PSU it would be ok.

Link doesn’t work but I am assuming you want to use 3 PSU for a single rig.

Can you do it? Sure. I’ve done it before without using any special devices.

Just make sure all PSU are grounded together somewhere and DO NOT mix any of the +12V. Which means if a GPU takes 2 connections then you must connect to the same PSU or else you will destroy equipment.
