I found a bridge tool that serves as a permanent fix/replacement for the paperclip. Unless you all believe there is some danger in taking this approach of an external power supply that is not in any way connected to the motherboard but just provides power to the GPU, I think I'm good. This community is amazing. I am stunned at how fast you guys responded and got me squared away. Reddit rocks.
