Geez, missed that it was only 24 pin and CPU 8 pin.... wow

No, not really. It is more like bringing both PSUs together to act like one (and switching on at the same time). All the auxilliary power connectors (PCIe, SATA, 4-pin Molex) can then be directly used from each PSU. For instance four PCIe 8-pin going from the first PSU into the first two GPUs and then another four PCIe 8-pin cables goinig from the second PSU into the other two GPUs in a Quad-SLI setup.

How does the redundancy feature work?
Phanteks’ Power Combo allows two power supplies to combine power to one motherboard. If one of the power supply(A) units develops an internal fault or fails, the working power supply(B) unit automatically takes over and bypass the malfunctioning main circuit of the failed power supply(A) and supplies the load to the Sata and PCI-e devices. In other words, the input (A) on the Power Combo will automatically function as an output (A).
The Power Combo redundancy allows uninterrupted system operation in the event of failure to one of the power supply. This allows the system to be powered up, but only if the available power of the working power supply is higher than the required power from the system.
When a failure occurs in one of the power supply, the status is communicated by:
-The Power Combo’s indicator light changes from white to red.
Which scenarios could cause the Power Combo’s redundancy feature not to work?
In most cases of power supply failures, the power supply’s protection will activate on the main circuit and the Power combo’s redundancy feature is able to keep your system in operation. As long as PSU(B) has sufficient power to supply your PC systems on its own. There are some rare scenarios when the PSU(B) won’t be able to power the devices that are connected to PSU(A). Examples:
1. Water damage to the PSU.
This could cause short-circuit on the entire board (including the connectors unit).
2. When short-circuit occurs in the connected cables (faulty cables)
